Sorry for yapping, but this is a very perplexing problem that even we as a collective civilization struggle with. For example: how do you keep future generations out of nuclear waste vaults on a 1000/2000/1`000’000 year scale (we don’t even talk about infinity, because it is surprise infinite times larger), because we cannot predict how even our language and (more than that) our culture would look like. One text/symbol/pictogram could tell something completely different to a person 10000 years in the future, than to a current-day one.

For me, the most interesting part was the conclusion: instead of using static language or pictograms printed on the walls (although some menacing skulls wouldn’t hurt) they instead opted out to a more dynamic and “updatable” forms of media - myths and legends (and maybe also a church, but I don’t remember). And that is not as ridiculous as it sounds - some of the myths from the past that we can read, like, right now, were created more than a couple thousand years ago (some even more than 10000). Also, an obvious note, but they weren’t created in a modern language. So this means that everything around them basically died/changed: the author, many many many of the ones who retold them, their first written forms, the printing company that first printed them, even the language (basically, transmission protocol) on which it was created is dead.

So (if we get back to the original scope of the question) that means that you basically have two choices:

1. Make your web site out of stone and hide it somewhere around Antarctica.

“+”:

• the decay would be greatly slow down
• no one is going to (or, could) delete/destroy it

“-”:

• no one is probably going to see it for a looong time (and when the do, they might not understand a thing)

2. Not be silly.

The thought of everything that you do/have/see breaking to dust is equally scary and relaxing - but it is true. No matter how much you paid for your domain name, or how your server is getting power out of solar, self-backups and self-repairs - everything eventually would break, catch fire, explode and turn off.

Or rather it will, without someone maintaining it. Because the only man-made things that live forever are doing so on the power of human resilience and preservation. It’s like this ancient art of a horse on some hill in the UK, that would be erased by the tides of history a loong time ago, but is still here because a couple of english mates have a bucket of white paint and some free time on tuesday.

So if you think about how this site that you poured your heart and soul into would instantly vanish as soon as you’re dead, remember: as long as someone cares and loves what you do (and with some coordination), the thing that you made would transcend the boundaries of some hostings, domains and internet protocols (and maybe even the language itself) and live in the minds of people, truly, forever.

Yes, thank you for correcting. I was in the zone when writing and exaggerated a bit :)

Although I should note that it still is a really long time!!

I think they were just small. The type that blow off fingers are usually bigger and louder

Tbf if you’re drawing exclusively/primarily pixel art I think libresprite is better - because it is more focused on it/made specifically for it.

Krita is an all-can-do program more a-kin to photoshop (but krita is better imo), it can do pixel art too, but it has a lot of other options, bells and whistles because it was made for digital art as a whole.

People who think like this, miss two important points in my opinion:

1. If you have a dogshit diet it’s not going to be a “happy life full of tasty food” it’s going to be an absolytely miserable existence, filled to the brim with stomach problems, skin problems, awful sleep schedule, variety of diseases and feeling bad in general
2. You don’t need a nutrient paste to eat healthy - you just need a balanced dier. That means that shouldn’t eat absolute garbage and not “overconsume” anything. Eat veggies, dairy, treat yourself to meat once in a while and you golden. The only actually hard thing it requires is some work - you need to actively seek recipes, spend some time at the store to find good products or even spend some time to find a good local shop that actually sells food and some processed garbage from supermarket, and eat mostly cooked at home stuff.

But for me personally it is worth it. I would much rather eat some backed veggies with a glass of milk and tasty fruits for a dessert in the evening, than go to a dirty cramped place and eat shitty cardboard-like dog food that they serve at McDs

What do you mean “cultural differences between smiling even in modern day Russia”?

What? No… Where you even get that idea
