Also true, but where does that tie in to a comment saying this is a good thing? Like where did the Jesus freaks come in? We could just as easily be happy about a good thing happening.

You’re not wrong, but why are you bringing that up in response to that?

I wouldn’t say they settle, they want both all the time.

Ah, alright that’s a fair point. Once one of those splits happened then that single life form would have become the common ancestor for all other life. I’m satisfied with that explanation.

Why? To who? How?

Well it’s good to know my schooling might not be a complete waste at least

Well the job market for developers is still pretty tight at the moment. I don’t have the insight to say for sure why (though I have some guesses), but I know that for me and every junior developer I know it’s rough out there.

What if a bunch of the earliest life spontaneously formed by the millions independently in different places? Would we all really have a true single common ancestor then?

Edit: I think there’s been a misunderstanding. I believe that all life on earth came from the same “species”, being the same kind of structure spontaneously generated in the primordial soup, but that there could’ve been a number of those structures that were generated and were all identical to each other. This would mean that any of them could evolve from the same starting point in terms of “design”, but not literally be the exact same object, meaning that we could have a number of origin ancestors that were all identical, and were potentially not an exact one singular living thing.

It’ll be fine. Sharks are older than trees so we can switch to them.

It’s likely a scheme to entice people onto their platform because they’re not as trusted as valve or gog. If they become a monopoly then we’ll get to see all the various catches to that.

I’m sure to a lot of people this fact is no surprise, but from my neck of the woods I haven’t even heard of this stuff.
