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.

  • 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.

    Most hosted AI image generators didn’t wanna make this, so I had to use grok, which is shitty.

    Create an image in the style of a still frame from a movie. In the frame the Whitehouse is exploding in a great fireball, with splintered wood flying through the air. An enormous city sized flying saucer is hovering above the Whitehouse, firing a blue beam into the Whitehouse, which is what caused the explosion. The flying saucer is very detailed and covered with greebles. The Whitehouse is exploding into pieces. The scene is at night, lit by the explosion fireball. The perspective is from the Whitehouse front lawn.
