Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Mal is such a wee cutie! Such a perfect little face.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Super-volcano, robotic rebellion or terrorism? Kate Ravilious asks 10 scientists to name the biggest danger to Earth and assesses the chances of it happening
I think we had a similar list a while back, but this one had one that was new to me. So now we also gotta worry about telomere erosion....

Didn't check out the list, tommyrot, but from what I've read, telomere erosion isn't so much a threat to mankind as a fact of aging.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
However, it is not just through our lifetime that telomeres get shorter. My theory is that there is a tiny loss of telomere length from one generation to the next...

Yeah. Which seems unlikely to me to lead to extinction, but then again, what do I know?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Mal is just adorable.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Call me selfish, but I'm not all that concerned about extinction beyond how it would affect me directly.

I'm not entirely convinced that extinction rates anywhere in the bad/good spectrum. Not ours, anyway. It's just a thing.
It'd be a shame if we did it to ourselves, though.
