Oof! Cool perspective
And yet we’re here for it:-)
Oh really?
Then let’s accelerate climate change. I won’t let those green fuckers win
That’s too slow. Take us to defcon one.
I’m Jewish, so unfortunately, Kanye has already taken me to death con 5. But I’m not sure if those are related.
Actually Kanye took you to Death con 3, then admitted he chose the because he couldn’t remember if 5 or 1 was the worst one.
That’s right! Besides food, clothing, housing, tools, weapons, erosion control, and beauty, what have the plants ever done for us?
Medicine. A lot of plants are used in medicine as well. Asprin came from tree bark.
Okay. Food, clothing, housing, tools, weapons, erosion control, beauty, oxygen, and medicine. But other than that, what have the plants ever done for us?
Brought peas?
Also oxygen…
They literally just fucking sit there, I’ve seen Jumanji I know what they could do, they just choose not to
have you seen them in cemeteries, thier roots easily penetrates a casket and suck the corpse dry. also works on asphalt and pipes.
Won’t the extra CO2 just help the heartier plants (weeds) take over?
We all give back in the end one way or another.
Cue music: “It’s the circle of life”
This link will work:
The image won’t render :(
Just the confused mark wahlberg gif from the happening
This is some Trump level zero sum understanding of mutual benefit.
OP is probably going to be appointed Secretary of the Interior to shoot all the DEI trees and end woke oxygen.
Lmao perhaps, make breathing great again (note: I do not support trump, this is just a joke)
Fwiw, you are on Lemmy now: (virtually) nobody thinks that you support Trump:-D
Awesome, thanks for the heads up.
I just didnt want to have people think I am a trump supporter tho.
I looked up what “fwiw” means, was not disappointed
Today I learned that some people think that’s what it means. And here I meant it as in “Fuzzy Wuzzy Imma Wiggly”, but to each their own I suppose!?:-P
The common, did we domesticate XYZ, or did XYZ domesticate us? Conundrum.
Cats
Yep. We feed cats, they kill pests which would otherwise give us disease and spoil our foods.
Makes you think that domestication is maybe the wrong paradigm, neither or us domesticated each other (or we both did) but truly it’s a mutually beneficial partnership, something that is actually common in nature.
I love cats. They choose every day to continue being our friends. They didn’t need to be genetically mutilated to love us unconditionally like dogs. Cats are free creatures.
And we feed then every day so they don’t kill and eat us.
Myc is the real death dinner monster. When everything dies, it’ll be them that don’t and then eat everyone else’s of whatever’s left.
So deep!!
Oh yeah plants? Eat my ass!
Wipes ass with toilet paperEukaryotes likely evolved during The Great Oxidation Event which saw oxygen levels rise to levels that were toxic to the Cyanobacteria (which use photosynthesis). We evolved to save them!
Yup, bury me in a burlap sack in a deciduous forest.
Why deciduous? Because fuck pine trees, that’s why. I don’t want to feed those assholes.
Another Sapiens reader. Look, I don’t care how uppity those maize are – there’s no way they trained us into cultivating them, we slaughtered their brothers and sisters and kept only the tamer, weaker, fatter renditions that we could use for our own means.
Corn is not sentient, and I will die on this hill!
Relevant
Corn is the vegetation equivalent of a cubicle dweller.
Ah, but you forget, Maizen have a collective identity, so stalks think nothing of sacrificing their individual lives for the good of the whole.
if they compete for sunlight and happily smother their brethren in this fruitful pursuit, then they’re no better than us at chucking each other under the bus in the name of this so called collective ‘progress’
So what you’re saying is, maize domesticated us, but it’s also sociopathic and generally evil, and probably believes in eugenics with a side of racism.
I feel like I heard this perspective elsewhere…it may have been The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben. Which I really enjoyed, myself.
But everyone knows that the kingdom that’s really in charge is the fungi.
Well, you must be a real fungi at parties.
Giving in to the wheat propaganda, I see
that was an edgy idea in the book, but stuff like that happens in ecological systems all the time. I read the book around the time of the election, and it read like a manifesto to justify oligarchic takeover as the next phase of human development (see the part how societal rules where assigned to the government and how the internet will take it back)
