Yes. No. Maybe?

I donno. Aren't we more likely to suffer some sort of population reducing event, rather than an extinction level event?

Another Plague that wipes out 75% of us, or the like, before we consume the planet.

Haven't you heard GL ? Pumpkins are less pumped.

I see your ruined Halloween and raise you;
