One million years from now...

Best case scenario to be sure.

Are the horses a million years old or did humans go extinct recently and are they being snarky about it?

Ha ha, no. In a million years, mankind would have paved the entire planet's surface, including the oceans. Our numbers would be in the hundred billions and most will live underground. The few elites would live on the uppermost levels and even have real gardens and plants. Wildlife would be extinct, save for a few robotic simulacra in the Imperial Zoo. Ironically, you would have to go to the Outer Colonies to see some animals that are extinct on Terra.

Good ending

A million years? That very generous (งツ)ว

That's cute and all, but it ain't gonna be birds and deer who gets life off this rock once the Sun starts threatening to swallow it in a few billion years. We're screwing up badly in the short term, but we're the only hope Earth life has in the long term.

"why does this grass taste like plastic?"

Not that they know what plastic is but ya know.

In the year one million and a half/

Humankind is enslaved by giraffes/

They will pay for all their misdeeds/

When the treetops are stripped of their leaves!

This made me think of the time machine song from Futurama. https://youtu.be/LE1drY3A418

I would have also accepted:

“What are humans?”

For some reason I read this comic with voices from asdfmovie

Do you think humans became extinct, transferred into computers, moved onto other corners of the universe, or became the horses?

🎶 We are a fluke
of the universe.
We have no right to be here.
And whether we can hear it or not,
The universe
is laughing behind our backs. 🎶

The sad thing is, if we want life as we know it (that includes horses happily munching on grass) to continue existing, humans are it's only shot.

It might be edgy and cool to wish humanity would go instinct, but with it, potentially all life will go instinct.

Image Transcription:

A four-panel War and Peas comic.

The first panel shows two horse-like creatures standing in a field, munching on grass. Text in a yellow box at the top of the panel reads "One Million years from now...". Palm-like trees with yellow leaves and mountains are in the background. The creature on the left is brown and the creature on the right is grey. The text "Munch Munch" are over the brown creature.

The second panel shows the brown creature with its head raised up and a concerned look on its face, saying "Hey. Remember humans?"

The third panel shows the grey creature now with its head raised up, the background of nature has been replaced by an orange background, which is lighter in a circle around the area of the panel where the creature's head and speech bubble are. The grey creature is saying "No."

The fourth panel is a slightly zoomed in version of the first panel with the onomatopoeic munching text moved over the grey creature's head.

Also, what all the humans are saying about the extinct species since we took over

All Tomorrows mantelopes last cohearant thoughts after slowly losing their sapience with each generation.

That's part of the idea of the book "City" by Simak

That's not funny

Imagine thinking they will even have the ability to recognize or track the history of humans after a million years

Hu... what?

This is the dream of human haters. Me, on the other hand, I would say we would be colonizing the galaxy, right after we tell every communist to shut the fuck up, so that we can continue building our civilization without lazy fatties asking for free stuff.
