@didgebaba "Dinosaurs are the ultimate icon for an evolutionary fact which we generally ignore, and definitely find uncomfortable to think about: nearly all species that have ever existed are extinct." - Terry Pratchett, Ian Stewart & Jack Cohen; The Science of Discworld

Deep in a New Zealand swamp, scientists discovered an ancient kauri tree that had been entombed for more than 40,000 years—its trunk preserved like a wooden time capsule. But this wasn’t just any prehistoric tree. Its rings revealed something extraordinary: it had lived through the Laschamp Excursion, a rare moment when Earth’s magnetic poles reversed. More alarming, however, was the period just before the flip—known as the Adams Event—when the planet’s magnetic field all but vanished, exposing the Earth to an onslaught of cosmic radiation.

With Earth’s magnetic shield weakened to as little as 0–6% of its normal strength, solar and cosmic radiation surged in, triggering global climate chaos. Ice sheets expanded dramatically, storm systems rerouted, and once-verdant lands like parts of Australia were swallowed by desert. Some researchers believe the event contributed to the extinction of the Neanderthals and forced early humans into caves for protection—where they began creating the earliest known symbolic art. These dramatic shifts suggest the Adams Event wasn’t just a magnetic anomaly—it was a turning point in human history.

Now, the ancient kauri stands as both relic and warning. Its rings carry the silent testimony of a world on the edge, a reminder that our magnetic field is not permanent. If such a collapse were to happen today, the consequences could be dire—satellite failure, communication breakdowns, grid collapses, and rapid shifts in climate. This tree, long dead, still speaks—whispering across the ages about the fragility of the invisible forces that shield our modern world.

I don't want to hear about your "legitimate use for an LLM" because all you're doing is normalising all the destructive scummy things they're also being used for.
I have come to the conclusion that if I write fiction, and nobody other than me will likely ever read it, it doesn't really matter if I think that it is terribly written.

A #meme Mini came up with while fighting the big depresso tonight (now at job rejection 831 at 405 days without gainful employment) while binging entirely too much #Dune gaming content. We are sure someone had to think of this before, but either way, enjoy~  
Well, got #Dune (yes the 1st one everyone always forgets), Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty, and Dune 2000 now running from our CDs~ Hope y'all like sand! (and you thought it was bad w/ all our Dune: Awakening playing on #stream
