If we nuke ourselves into extinction, Dolphins will become the new masters of the world.
>>4891699Crows will figure how to move underwater first.
>>4891699I for one, welcome our dolphin overlords
that would be otters
No. Warm blooded animals will go extinct with us. It will be The Age of Reptiles Part 2.
>>4891776
>>4891699I’ll be too dead to care
It would be raccoons actually>>4891735I read an old sci fi story once where humans knew they were going to be wiped out, so they left instructions for otters to eventually rebuild society. Just as the last man is about to die, the otters revealed that they were hyperintelligent all along and they had orchestrated the extinction of humanity.
VIVA POSADAS
>>4891789>sci fi storyit's reality
They can't be masters of shit without handsApes will rule

>>4891879ty anon. good story.
>>4891879stay on /lit/ bookfag!
>humans die out>tree supremacy is unaffected
>>4892469>sun turns into a red giant and swallows up the earth>trees are incinerated without humans to bring them to another planet
>>4891699Marine mammals are based. Maybe they'll create Seatopia and resurrect Atlantis.
>>4891699And that's a good thing.
>>4891699dolphins are fucked by living in the water, I'd also give it to crows or something like that
>>4893702Planet is 75% water anyway. Global warming will have driven that number up further long before we're wiped out.
Makes you wonder who's ruling Europa don't it.
>>4894628Hella yeah. Ocean Kingdom Earth here we come.
>implying humans are masters of anything
The age of rats is upon us, yes-yes!
>>4894628I mean it kinda rules out every option that made us what we are today, like fire or writing. But maybe they'll figure out something different
>>4891699All the more reason to keep our species alive. Those rapist sea-goblins deserve nothing but extinction. If it weren't for retarded dolphin-fucking "environmentalists" covering for them and protecting them from the consequences of their actions those horrid beasts would have been killed off by the course of nature by this point.
>>4891699not at all. They can't use fire. they live underwater.
what about raccs?
>>4891699anything that wipes out humanity is likely to wipe out all advanced species
>>4895982not true
>>4895982this is true>>4896436cope tranimal
>>4895982Corvids and some other bird species could probably survive.
>>4891699No they won't. You can't make tools with flippers. If anything octopi have a better chance.
>>4891699You mean like that one Simpson's episode? Kill yourself dork sucker
