mitsene | the extinction

every now and then i get this obsession with the K-T extinction event.

like i just learned that the reentry ejecta probably heated the atmosphere to at least 500-600 degrees. F.

what survives that? how does anything survive that? if that were to happen today, how would anyone survive? even if they did, would they be able to find enough food to continue on?? would you even want to??

the word that comes to mind when i think of the absolute raging fire on the planet at the time is 'raze'.

the world was razed to the ground.

any time anyone mentions the apocalypse, i want to say, 'but it's already happened.' literally the worst case scenario has come to pass, and life, somehow, has made it.

whether humans would is another question entirely.
