Tobacco plants: produce nicotine, a toxic alkaloid

Humans: imma smoke that shiiiiit

Humans: I will now cultivate you, export you, protect you and make sure you're growing well so I can keep smoking you despite a 50% chance of dying from it.

Tobacco clearly has the last laugh in this story.

I dunno, it could go on forever

Every second I've lived so far, I haven't died, so if we simply take that pattern and extrapolate it for each future second...
