And other things like remove the political opposition of the people who control it
Ironically what can actually save the trees is a big stack of papers signed by legislators.
So a miracle?
[to the tune of yankee doodle]🎶since we couldn't fix this shit on our own / we're all prayin' to get hit by a big fuckin' giant ass mother shit hole obliterating meteor one o' these days
Take one for the team.
I'm doing research on what part of the body rich people are assholes. I think this device could make a difference! Or a division.
I'll be taking this moment to shout out Here Comes The Guillotine.
Hilarious podcast where Scottish comedians Frankie Boyle, Susie McCabe, and Christopher MacArthur-Boyd talk to each other...hilariously.
Features some chat about the evils of capitalism, guillotine based reform, and sex worker sleeper agents taking revenge on our behalf after the apocalypse by murdering billionaires in their bunkers.
Very edgy today
I must be out of the loop. What’s going to cause all plants to go extinct?
Having a private fleet of building-size yachts wasn't to kill the ecosystem. But it does.
Imagine getting rid of "the problem" that made all these yacht fleets exist.
The ultra wealthy I assume
I’m skeptical that all of humanity couldn’t wipe out all plants even if we tried. Plants are hardy SOBs. Their seeds can survive raging forest fires. I think the plants would be back not too long after we’ve wiped ourselves out!
That is true the natural seed bank built up in the soil does allow places to recover but if we wiped ourselves out chances are we’ve made the world pretty hostile for any form of life
I sincerely doubt that. We know that life on earth survived much worse than anything we’ve done or could do any time soon. I’m talking about when huge comets crashed into the earth and boiled all the oceans into steam as well as melted substantial portions of the earth’s crust. Life survived that!
Right...but we won't. Fucking single celled shit will, yeah you're right.
I already said earlier that we won’t. Are you even paying attention?
Can I ask you something? Is there a point to your argument or are you just being a pedant?
My point is: we should worry about ourselves. Worrying about plants surviving or not after we’re gone is not a compelling case for action. Plants can take care of themselves. They’re way tougher and hardier than we are. Look at places like the Chernobyl exclusion zone: totally overrun with plants.
