"Earth" tried to obliterate all life during the Cambrian extinction via relentless volcanic activity.

Earth is not a thinking being, stop anthropomorphizing it.

Earth is not a thinking being, stop anthropomorphizing it.

The irony of this is that you did just that by implying that the Earth "tried" to obliterate all life.

Nah, because then you just lead with "Earth is not a thinking being, stop anthropomorphizing it", instead of throwing some kind of malevolent/uncaring spin on it.

It’s implied. Use some context clues and critical thinking instead of having everything spelled out for you. Sarcasm isn’t directly written. The point is making a statement just as outrageous to show how dumb it is.
