Here be dragons.

"Grandma!"

Eggs are used in this recipe because they smell gross and don't come off easily (due to their tendency to harden/cook in the sun). This is not a situation for applesauce, which will come off in a light rain.

While unconventional, the substitute you're looking for here is sourdough starter. It's goopy, it'll smell atrocious in the hot sun, and it'll harden onto the walls like cement. If you try to get it off with water, you'll end up with a sticky dough.

Commands in a different language is a whole other tier on its own that is 1000x hotter and much more effective

Hells use Klingon if you want

But you can use much more complex and varying commands that clicker training can't even touch

Not to mention the ability to say something that only a select people know AND the pup

I was reading one story where the apocalypse was impossibly-rising oceans. Like, water is appearing from *waves hand* the Earth's crust or something, and literally all dry surface land on Earth is going to become underwater in X years. Part of the story was about a giant research project to invent FTL to send a few hundred humans to a nearby star which might have a habitable planet. You know what they were hoping to find? A planet with liquid water. Their plan was to descend from their starship and restart civilization using just the tools they brought with them, on a world with no life and no breathable air and the wrong gravity and the wrong temperate and the wrong sunlight and the wrong day-night cycle, just because it had liquid water. You know where else has liquid water? The flooded Earth you just abandoned. Instead of researching starship technology, you could have spent that time loading up all the same civilization-restarter tools into boats.

If you can terraform Mars to have a thick oxygen atmosphere, why not just do that to Earth?

Illegal on Earth

Same with a starshade to cool Venus.

Illegal around Earth

Same with excavating asteroids into city-stations.

Illegal on Earth.

So why bother with the trip? Just stay and fix the damn Earth.

like, even taking political opposition into account, on a purely raw, net consideration of "what is possible to achieve" with our currebt access to raw materials and power geberation it is still like orders upon orders of magnitude easier to reshape the earth than to make mars habitable.

Let us be generous to California and note that the 21st century state has much less opportunity to build on unoccupied land, or "unoccupied" land where the government expelled all the previous occupants. So they budgeted more time and money for fewer miles of rail. Let us suppose they set a reasonable baseline. (This is not entirely sarcastic.)

In 2008, California authorized ten billion dollars for a rail project to be done in 2020.

It is 2026, the California rail project has cost twenty billion dollars and counting, the rail program is not done, it is not even close to done, reports say that a small part of the planned rail could start carrying passengers in another six years.

The 171-mile Merced-to-Bakersfield stretch of high-speed rail could begin passenger service by Jan. 1, 2032, according to a report released Friday by the state agency administering the project.

Completion maybe in 2038, expected total cost maybe a hundred billion, large variation in estimates from different sources.

Even granting the original higher baseline budget, the overrun is measured in multiples of 19th century transcontinental railroad cost, in both time and money. That's fucked up.

(data caveats about inflation scaling across long periods, and the transcontinental railroad was funded partly by land grants of land whose value was closely tied to getting a railroad, etc, so there's a lot of wiggle room in comparative estimates... but still, multiples.)
