    You, anon, and your ancestors did not do anything. You were not cavemen. You did not build the pyramids, the great wall, or even the eiffel tower. Maybe someone’s great grandparent around here helped invent computers or machine language but that was someone else. The only thing WE have done historically is contribute to pollution and the fediverse.

      Well, you might be the progeny of an insular line of worthless losers, but, as an example, basically every person with European ancestry is a direct descendant of Charlemagne. Most Americans will also find an ancestor who signed the Declaration of Independence, and that wasn’t even that long ago, historically speaking, and with time everyone on the continent will be the descendant of practically all of the Founding Fathers.

      If you’d bothered to think about the implications of the exponential growth of your ancestors, two parents, four grandparents, eight great grandparents, etc, and the fact that the population of prehistoric Earth wasn’t in the trillions and quadrillions you’d have figured this out on your own.

      Plus, even if everyone else was like you, with a family tree with only a trunk, don’t think about it too hard or you might hurt yourself, that would still leave you with caveman ancestors.

      Fucking duh.

      Speak for yourself, dickhole. I contribute every day to open source projects and help make the internet a better place as well as all the scholck I have to deal with at work. The agile projects I work on all day, ever day. The stuff I work on when I’m not getting paid. The art I make. The LED toys I like to make. Not everyone just sits around and consumes.
