Im guessing the heat death of the universe would be a pretty sure bet for the end of the earth. Let’s hope I don’t get disappointed!

Haha! I think often about the fact that farming was "invented" at some point, albeit by multiple civilizations simultaneously. But I think, "man what a bunch of morons to not have thought of it before." Yet here I am, completely incapable of making my pea plant produce peas. I def would have been culled from the herd early.
