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.

I already said earlier that we won’t. Are you even paying attention?

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!

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!

I must be out of the loop. What’s going to cause all plants to go extinct?

Here’s what they look like full-grown:

Brutal? The male bites her in order to merge with her! He connects to her circulatory system and takes all his sustenance from her.

He has found his sugar momma and he’s never gonna give her up!

I think a lot of them find their way onto eBay where they get sold to unwitting gamers.

A lot of that hardware is junk pretty soon anyway. Graphics cards run at full load 24/7 don’t last very long.

So if I just pour enough water on my salad it becomes a broth? Awesome!

You could say this about most standup comedians. The sober ones are the weird ones!
