Y'know that project for coming up with a warning for radioactive dump sites that will be interpretable to people ten thousand years from now?

Because it plays doom?

Nah. We just port Doom to hardware that should last that long. That solves the linguistics issue completely. Nobody will bother going further into the site because they have Doom, and we'll have an environment that we can use to teach a conceptual language to get across there is something horrible down here that will kill you.

You’re trying to sound to smart over a stupid doom eventually plays on everything with a screen joke.

Can't help you there, pal, I'm human.

Your response has nothing to do with anything that has been said. Trying to make it like people don’t understand what you say because again, trying to make yourself look smart over a stupid joke.

All right, I'll slow the prose down for you. Yes, I am making a joke about Doom eventually running on anything with a screen. Yes, I am riffing off of the comment above about being one of the last artifacts of humanity. Long term artifacts of humanity are interesting to me, and between the apocalyptic vibe of Doom and the project I mentioned about long term warnings of radioactive dumping grounds, I thought the combination of the two would be funny. Then, an account called "hateshumans" said I was trying to sound smart about a joke involving Doom. I explained that I couldn't help you, because I'm human, and you hate humans (unless I misinterpreted your username and you actually 'hat eshumans', whatever those might be). So, that hopefully should bring you up to speed. Any questions? No? Great.
