That's a point you get without great debate. So it evens out and some fun was to be had

Reply to Having no break from work is depressing, but having no work is very boring. by StringIsNullOrEmpty
If I could just choose "no work" without sacrificing much quality of life, I absolutely would. I have never in my life been so bored that I thought, "I need a job."

EDIT: what kind of serious source of information is this green nation ? And was it the only source you used or just the most supportive?

Strictly speaking I'd say it's guaranteed just from thermodynamics. But that's a pretty high upper bound. Everything below that is subject to technology, which could change our circumstances dramatically.

Quoted from gang green nation:
"It is widely assumed that the word "football" (or "foot ball") references the action of the foot kicking a ball. There is an alternative explanation, which is that football originally referred to a variety of games in Medieval Europe, which were played on foot. There is no conclusive evidence for either explanation."
Nothing to do with length. A ball is a sphere, not oval, HANDOVAL!!

The European ones conform to their name mostly... Are balls and played with feet.
The American ones are a foot long aren't they? And since Wikipedia defined balls as 'may be ovoid' they can be called balls, so in conclusion they are also Footballs

This is stated by "gang green nation"
"It is widely assumed that the word "football" (or "foot ball") references the action of the foot kicking a ball. There is an alternative explanation, which is that football originally referred to a variety of games in Medieval Europe, which were played on foot. There is no conclusive evidence for either explanation."
So nothing to do with the length, but STILL, for a sport derived by sports that involved kicking and feet action, handovals are handled by hands more than feet

Even that is debatable. But yeah I can see where you're coming from. I do see humans uncovering anti-aging discoveries that could potentially end age-related death entirely.
It's far-fetched, sure. But I don't think death is a guarantee forever.

Isn't because in american football the egg(that's the shape of the ball) is 11-12 inches long long?

Now you're thinking right! There's more feet action in soccer than hands action!

Footballs are round, have always been round, and dare I say will always be round.
But you are right about the feet part. That would be weird.

No. An invasive species is one that arose in one climate and has due to human intervention come to another where it can outcompete indigenous species. We took ourselves to every place except for somewhere in Africa.
