i struggle to actually grasp shit like this, it's really hard to imagine humanity's 'deep' future. will everyone be a test tube baby?
what the fuck is the world going to look like in the year 25,000 AD? -

Probably like Mars.
Nah fam, JC's coming back long before then to dish out the final reckoning.
The human race will be wiped out and the planet will be barren.
Either we're dead or outta this bitch ball of a planet reenacting some long dead sci-fi story.
Planet of the apes with octopuses.
Looks like ArizonaProbably like Mars.
Well, that depends on a few things, one thing that is pretty certain is that we'll be headed toward another ice age just based on orbital changes(we're like 80k years from that now so you know we only have tens of thousands of years!!!).
Now, we'll most likely be dead or spread. Assuming we haven't accelerated climate change beyond our ability to mitigate the damage and we haven't polluted so severely as to make us sterile as a species we'll likely have colonized distant worlds. Earth will be, to most of what now exists of humanity, a legendary place none alive have ever seen. Digital records of Earth by 25000 might be lost. The name Earth might be meaningless to humans who have traveled distances we now see as impossible to traverse.
But that's straying off topic. Something big will have hit Earth or some geologic cataclysm will have occurred so landmasses may look...somewhat different but not wildly changed. I would have to assume that unless we begin asteroid mining there will be mines visible from space in several locations around the world(and not like the dots we have now I mean vast canyons). There will probably be people of some type in some places but they'll be very different than us.
Plant life will be fairly similar unless we seriously fuck with GMO. Plant and animal life at the extremes of temperature will start to die off or migrate since again we'll be roughly half way to the next ice age.
There are a ton of variables and I'm just making everything up outside of the orbit stuff...that's going to happen.
I just realized I took "world" way to literally.

Hopefully everything will be long dead. Sentient life is a mistake.
Shut up, stupidface
See
Dunno about 25,000 A.D. This song only describes the next 8 thousand years.
All I see are children growing up, couples growing old, and the good of all mankind.
You're right, children stay the same age. My bad.
So... consider someone from 1000 AD trying to predict 2000 AD, then consider how different 2000 AD is from 1000 AD and if there are any similarities left.
Now consider how different 23,000 BC is from 2000 AD
There’s no way to make any prediction that will end up being accurate short of the most general like mass extinction or space travel.
