    This is good, but Id take some info on tire “tread rating”; Snow tires seem to have lower ratings and I’m assuming they mean on clean surfaces not snow?

    In actual written human genealogies, they put the world at 6-7000 years old. No such thing as “pre history” or any time period before then. Its not a guess with fake science with an agenda put behind it, but actual written down names. With the average age in the 70s, 6-7000 years is still very old compared to us.

Let’s launch our garbage into the sun!

Ummm, no. Earth is messy. So can’t we just send our junk somewhere else? Aside from the moral quandaries raised by such poor stewardship of our already disheveled solar system, Earthlings probably haven’t made a habit of beaming literal garbage into space yet because we simply can’t afford to.
