Scatterbrained and friendly optimist. Always happy to give my (unasked for) opinion :)

Pardon my rambling and broken English, I know I often sound like an alien trying to impersonate a human being.

  • It used to be a lot more popular, though by now we’re at our 69th challenge. It could just be that it’s not that interesting anymore 😔

    Maybe it’s time for a different format? Something a bit shorter and more spontaneous?
    Last year we had a few of these “Show me your: …” kind of posts where people were encouraged to share their version of a fantasy animal, their user name, or something else that could be done with low effort. There were no set rules, anyone could start a post like that at any time and there weren’t any winners or losers.

  • I wouldn’t know about the hence part, but I always read it as “years from now”. A bit like the opposite from “years since”.
    As for the other thing, it started out with deliberately engineered beings for specific tasks like the vacuumorph.
    About a hundred years later the remaining people would create new humans with the specific goal of being able to survive the harsher environment of a ravaged earth. It was these that evolved further into different creatures.
    It’s a pretty far fetched story either way, I just like it for the weird pictures :)
    I posted a link in one of the other replies. You can read the whole thing there if you’re interested, there’s a timeline on page 20 if you just want a quick overview.




  • It’s a speculative evolution book from 1990 about how mankind might evolve in the next 5 million years. Basically the premise is that due to climate change, new species of humans are engineered to survive in a more hostile world. And then it follows these new species and their further evolutions.
    The creatures in the picture above are both descended from humans.
    It’s weird, bleak and very far fetched.
