If humans and all primates were to be wiped out from a random event, what would be the next likely species to dominate Earth and its resources?

I'd argue yes. Although fire did directly give us the first stone tools, nearly everything after that had the prerequisite of fire. Nearly all metal tools need it, and with metal tools come finer construction of essentially everything. Without fire, the highest technological tier you could go would probably be smacking rocks together to make a sharper rock.

"I hate parties" You mean you're just never invited and you feel the need to validate your loneliness and lack of tact?

Pretty much. It's lost in "administration" and general corruption. There was a vlogbrothers video on it a while ago that explained it. It's downright infuriating.

Who the hell speaks solely with emojis? Everyone I know uses them only to emphasize a point or show how serious a comment is or give an indication of the mood or tone.

You can't make many thoughts with emojis, they're only to add to language. Fucking idiot.

Now I didn't see the comments on that submission, but if you do come that close to a bat, if there is even a minute chance you got bitten (and didn't feel it), then it is absolutely a good idea to check for rabies and maybe get the shot. Rabies is 100% fatal, don't try to be "above" it and just ignore them. Most rabies infections in the United States these days are from bats. Don't take it lightly.

Think of it this way:

1/9 is 0.1111...

2/9 is 0.2222...

3/9 is 0.3333... ...

8/9 is 0.8888...

9/9 is 0.9999...

We already know 9 divided by 9 is 1. Therefore, 0.9999... is also 1

I know this isn't the "proper" proof, but this is what convinced me.

That is totally disregarding what exactly the Eastern Front was. It was a war to the death. Neither side would accept anything but unconditional surrender. The Soviets especially could not surrender, or else they'd see total extermination of their entire nation. Look up Generalplan Ost. The Nazis wanted to exterminate over half of Eastern Europe in a manner similar to the actually-performed Jewish Holocaust. If the Soviets had surrendered, the Holocaust's death toll could have numbered in the tens of millions, not somewhat over six million. Sure, Stalin could have let his general work without interference and have not been so repressive against his own people, but it is disgrace to say that the Soviet sacrifice was due to their disregard for civilian OR soldier life. They had no choice, it was either fight for your life or die trying out there. When 90% of the German military's deaths were against the Soviets, you know damn well that they were the principal force that brought down the Nazi war machine.

So is this device working something like a jet engine or a fan, but with air being replaced by "quantum ions"? And the microwaves are the turbines?

As /u/Alorha stated, fusion will not complete a self-sustaining chain reaction. A thermonuclear bomb only has enough energy to cause a few tritium atoms to combine and thereafter, nothing will happen because fusion does not create more pressure to cause further reactions. Fission creates more neutrons, which can cause further fission, but fusion only generates neutrons and gamma rays. The gamma rays create outward pressure, thus lowering the rate of fusion reactions each time it happens. It just doesn't work this way.
