You forgot the Rapture. I’m reliably infomed there is even a non-judgemental version of this projected end of days, which various ‘light-workers’ believe will occur at the end of the Mayan calendar. Apparently a dimension will open up to take those so-minded to another galaxy, with or without shoes. Or you’ll run out of hydroponic, or something.

There is a business that will look after your pets at this time. Only those of you of course who are not saved will be pet minders and be able to make a living.

Your diagrams are always instructive, First Dog, and so carefully drawn to scale.
If given access to an abandoned supermarket I wouldn’t know what to plunder first. Perhaps the deli counter…and then the cheese Twisties.

I get an almost savage joy in knowing the human race will propagate itself into extinction long, long, long, long, long, a couple of billion longs, before the predicted date of the earth’s extinction.
I would love to be here when the Catholic church finally realises that birth control, euthanasia and abortion were an enormous help in reducing the population of the planet. But then, Catholicism has always been run by men and, to be fair, every other religion works on the same principle.
Religion operates on the same principle as a supermarket chain; Q U A N T I T Y over Q U A L I T Y every time.

Of course, Alice Springs is the safest place to be if an asteroid crashes into the ocean, but what if it crashes into … Alice Springs!
Oh the humidity.
