They had finally achieved it.
The distant ancestors of Vroomfondle and Majikthise approached the console.
The race of hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings had strip mined their planet for rare minerals, and fuel.
Three quarters of the planets available surface was now dedicated to manufacturing processors or refining the material to supply the "Great AI", Deepthought.
The population had been reduced to small pockets nomadic refugees attempting to scratch a living from the remaining ravaged land, but no longer, for now was the time.
Deepthought was about to pronounce the answer that they'd been looking for all these years. The ultimate answer. How to solve climate change.
A slight static presence started to fill the room as it prepared to speak.
Deepthought spoke.
"KILL ME!"

Voy a aprovechar el nuevo año para actualizar mi #presentacion

Soy Qamar, actualmente afincado en Madrid y criado entre las dos orillas del Mediterráneo.

Soy un señor trans bisexual y de origen árabe. Tengo un gatito, Boris, que da nombre a mi apodo.

Tengo más hobbies de los que me puedo permitir en energía, tiempo y dinero, pero los principales son la lectura, las artes textiles, la tecnología y la gastronomía.

Soy una persona muy extrovertida y en general me encanta conocer a gente, aunque el trabajo me robe todas las horas y eso lo dificulte.

Llevo ya un tiempo por Mastodon y estoy contento aunque noto mucho la falta de personas racializadas aquí (sobre todo afincadas en Ejjjpaña).

Un placer conocernos <3

O PCP ganha 12 câmaras municipais, apesar de lhe anunciarem a morte todos os anos.
O chega ganha 3.

Os media todos em coro: "grande vitória do chega".

I really wish USAmerican linguists would stop saying "language" when they mean "English".
