In a philosophy class long ago we were asked to each name one event in history we’d like to cause never to have happened. Some said, “the first slave ship to America,” and “Hitler being born,” etc. I said, “The big bang, or whatever really happened that made the universe.” Teacher said, “but then there’d be nothing.. forever.” “Yep. Nothing.”
You know what? The Earth would be much better off if the human species did that to themselves. I think the rest of the creatures, plant, animal, and insect, will get along just fine without us.
This refers to the danger of creating self-replicating self-programming machines. If you built a robot factory, and, in a moment of carelessness, ordered it to make paper clips, it might tear the planet apart in its effort to obey you. A robot wouldn’t have to be self-conscious to do this. The factory could be a crowd of nanobots.

This is just a joke and could never happen. Butt fat is infinite.

If only they’d have discovered in time that the Higgs boson is simply butt fat.
