Poll question: Would you push this button?
“More than any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other, to total extinction. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly” - Woody Allen



For amusement only.

6. We'll muddle through. We always do.
Woody used to be funny. Now he's just an accurate observer.

10. It feels more purposeful
but yeah, we, and most other species are on the fast track. The sad thing is that all those other species didn't have a bit of say, we had it all and we decided for all.

16. The front is held on with four easy screws. I'd hack the box, of course

Maybe there's a Republicans-only option.

Or maybe it's capable of something more interesting. What if it could only extinguish earworms?

Or maybe I'm just in a bad mood that day and I'll try circuit-bending it. Wouldn't really want to take out something like mitochondria, though.
