its funny when edgy dudes are like “humans are unnatural. we are the only species that will consume so many resources that the land can not sustain us and still continue to reproduce. name one other species that does that” because like, off the top of my head? deer.
We’re omnivorous deer
The real difference between humans and deer is the wolves can’t stop us.
What wolves?
A healthy wolf population prevents the deer in the region from getting overpopulated, which leads to more trees and beavers and basically the whole rest of the ecosystem balancing out better. A lack of wolves leads to too many deer which kills too many trees and everything starts to collapse (including the deer themselves).
Humans got too good at killing any predators who would be going after humans, so now there’s nothing to regulate us except for us.
boars. jellyfish - there is also a lot of plants that will just continuously grow and consume everything if left unchecked…
I mean, Invasive Species? That’s like the entire deal with them. Just look at what rabbits, cute cuddly little bunnies, have done to Australia.
pretty much all species will devistate an ecosystem if they overpopulate regardless of theyre native to that system or not.
dude seeing these Mega high quality images of the surface of mars that we now have has me fucked up. Like. Mars is a place. mars is a real actual place where one could hypothetically stand. It is a physical place in the universe. ITS JUST OUT THERE LOOKING LIKE UH IDK A REGULAR OLD DESERT WITH LOTS OF ROCKS BUT ITS A WHOLE OTHER PLANET?
LIKE THIS JUST LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE A PERSON’S BACKYARD. LIKE YEA A LITTLE DUSTY MAYBE THERE WAS A SANDSTORM BUT THAT’S COOL I’M JUST GONNA WALK DOWN TO THE STORE P S Y C H YOU’RE ON MARS BICH!
i hate to be rude and intrude on this post but we have decent pictures of the surface Venus too!
So it’s not quite snowing on Churyumov–Gerasimenko, unfortunately; the white specks are artifacts of cosmic rays impinging on the CCDs in the camera, as well as a rotating starfield in the background (since the comet is spinning). A few specks could be dust. But, holy shit, that’s the surface of a comet. That’s a spot you could in theory cling to for dear life sit down on. The Cliffs of Comet 76pare a place.
If that isn’t the neatest shit I don’t know what is.
