All Tomorrows: The Ultimate Grimdark Evolution
What happens when evolution is forced on humanity as a punishment not for crimes, but for curiosity? Welcome back to Acceptable Losses. Today, DK, PancreasNoWork, and Kirioth traverse a countless amount of time to watch the fall of humanity and the creatures that rise in its ashes. We are exploring C. M. Kosemen's "All Tomorrows," a work of speculative evolution that showcases the dark destruction of humanity as we know it.
After humanity's descendants encounter the Qu—a hive-mind of billion-year-old nomads—they are genetically warped into unrecognizable abominations to populate new worlds. From the tragic Mantelopes trapped in a culture of grief, to the Colonials forced to live as sentient waste filtration units, it is a fate worse than death.
Because "All Tomorrows" is a very art-heavy medium and podcasting is an audio format, DK and Pancreas are tasked with describing these unspeakable horrors in terrible detail for your amusement.

How was it that so much happened before they became worms and it’s only been 30 minutes!
wonder if all other tomarrows or man after man would ever be a consideration
The story of Serina is SO cool I love that series
Second to last photo is what appears to be that camel ass alien from Tatooine that they ride sneaking out of a giant Trojan snake, malicious intent clearly on his mind
51:19 I believe it's called a Tussy
Ya know what ive always loved about all tomorrows? Despite the horror, war, pain and suffering that is inflicted on it by either outside or internal forces, humanity, in some way shape or form, lived for millions upon millions of years, stubbornly surviving it all. And through it all, we still did what made us beautiful, we made art, culture and empires in the stars. And on the reactions you guys had to the end, id argue that of course eventually we would all die out, this the nature of entropy, it takes all no matter the nature of what it is. But even once we as a concept were dead and gone... humanity still left an impact on one living being, one that found a beauty of our species resilience, and decided to do for it one last kindness... preserve their story for as long as possible, so all may learn from humanities triumphs and failings in equal measure. And so, ultimately, if billions of years later, all that was left of our species was a rabbit hole footnote in the universes history. Id be proud, because we were remembered, even if its in a small way, we were remembered...
Ive been waiting for this one
