Globally it has been the hottest month in human history. Not just since *recorded* history - but literally in the history of our entire species. Some scientists now estimate it to be the hottest in 120,000 years according to this article: cnn.com/2023/07/27/world/july-

(Note that various timelines exist for how old our species is and people can get super pedantic about it but none of those arguments will FIX THE FUCKING CLIMATE.)

(The oldest known cave paintings are ~64,000 years old, btw, and probably were Neanderthal and not even modern human since I guess maybe we were still too dumb to know how to paint on rocks back then? Makes you wonder how we somehow "won" that particular evolutionary competition.)

@bigzaphod the humans were VC-funded allowing the inferior product to grow market share and squeeze out the competition.
