All that stuff came from the Earth, so... about the same.

Actually, less, because we keep on throwing things off the Earth. Though maybe it balances out with all the organisms, particularly humans, who are marching around.

We still have people who still say "in the year of our lord" too.

Let's switch to Common Era already. Even though it doesn't sound as cool as Anno Domini... Hmm...

What's even scarier is the prospect that eventually there will be too many skyscrapers on one side of the planet, and the extra weight will drag them downward and stop the rotation of the earth completely when they get to the bottom.

No no, you've got it all wrong, silly!

The ones on the opposite side help to cancel it out.

FYI, the mass on each side of the Earth cancels out the mass on the other side, which is why Earth is weightless in space and floats instead of falling.

Better question is whether fluctuations in animal/human populations have any effect on earth's 'weight'. I get that people are made out of matter formerly found in nature and that our food has mass before we eat it, but what about when we produce weightless substances like gas? Does that technically lower the total weight?

That's why we have seasons. The earth tilts one way from all of the weight on one side. Them a lot of stuff falls to the other side and it tilts the other way when a new season occurs.

Why stop there, what about oil and trees?
Chemical reactions that binds the gas in the ground and in future plants and trees.

Erm... gases aren't weightless.

Sigs are rather pointless, except if it's to showcase animation and images.

If anything it would make the Earth weigh less because the skyscrapers are reaching towards space where there is less gravity. But because of the wind and earth's wobbly rotations the higher floors would just swing wildly in the breeze and break.
