TIL in the Carboniferous Period, no fungus existed to decompose trees. They just grew on top of each other up and up. - eviltoast

The weight of the trees was so great that the ones on the bottom got squished and became coal. That’s where coal is from. Bonus fact: the whole time this was happening, sharks were hunting in the oceans. Sharks are older than trees and fungus!

            Probably a lot. But also more than double if you duplicate your consciousness into a second android.

            Shit, you sold me. Where can I get a cheap android to upload my consciousness into, so I can make them slave 80 hours per week for me $$

              Unfortunately due to capitalism I can’t tell you or it’ll cut into my money and thus ability to live for millions of years. Once I’ve made my money I’ll DM you so that you’re second in line.
