Cats are the prime example of
"I don't care and I don't need you. Bye!"
...
"Oh... Now how do I get my free lasagne?"
I think the giraffes will be okay though.
I feel so lucky with my cat. Would never dream of scratching me. Loves belly rubs. Most affectionate one in my life. If I ever pet him the wrong way he lets me know by giving me the gentlest "bite" basically just touching his teeth to my hand. I don't deserve him.
There are a shitton of examples of house cats that went wild cats. They'd do okay in the current climate. Dogs most likely as well. But I doubt any of those 3 species would survive in a climate that kills humanity...
If we go extinct, this will be the world of rats and roaches.
I don't think they are at any risk of going extinct. They are considered hyper-predators and dangerously invasive species for a reason. They have been moved to environments they weren't meant to be in and thrived there to the detriment of everything else several times over. Sure it will kill some of them, but overall they will probably come out on top.
Have you read about giraffes?
They weren't okay even before interaction with humans.
I haven't read about giraffes. Hit me with your interesting giraffe facts!

Apes love playing with puppies, they got this.
Baby cheetahs too, iirc
The alternate timeline of planet of the apes.
Instead of Caesar just shouting out against his captors, the humans just wipe themselves out. So the dogs go to the jungle and align themselves with all the remaining great apes. They co-evolve and then, and then planet of the apes.
When humans are gone dogs will be looked at as collaborators and hunted down
Oh silly animals we are taking them down with us
This one got me. lol.
Yeah, if conditions get to worse for us, those three species have little chances I guess. So, the question arises, why are they not discussing this? Is there a plan behind that?
The cats will be just fine.
Yeah, if only one of the 4 species (humans, giraffes, dogs and cats) survives it will probably be the cats.
Lots of doomer posts lately
Probably cause deep down we know something is happening and it feels like shits about to hit the fan. Ocean temperatures are skyrocketing and we can't pretend everything is fine like we have for the past couple of years 
Have you, like, vaguely gestures at everything
We hope and pray that those who doom are wrong.
Hopes and prayers are famously good science
Which is why doomers don't science. They feels.
Maybe, because, this shit is serious and we can't keep pushing it off?
Seriously it happened very quickly, what's going on? Did lemmy get linked to some sad doomer community elsewhere on the internet?
I think there was another reddit influx. Not sure how large. Or what prompted it.
OP's account is almost 1 year old. This is easy to check...
Was talking about the general tone of Lemmy of late, not the OP specifically. This is easy to surmise from context clues...
I tend to notice the Reddit Influxes because I get more people going "Religion Bad, Upvotes to the left!"
Religion do be bag tho
Things in generally seem to be getting worse for at least a decade, especially for those born in this century.
Granted, the whole Ecological problems thing has been going on for longer, though there were some improvements in the 70s (polution controls that stopped acid rain) and the 90s (replacing CFCs and reverting the hole in the Ozone layer) but even some of those things were partially reverted in the last decade or two (the whole Diesel Emissions Scandal is to a large extent about emissions of the very same stuff that caused acid rain and hole in Ozone layer is growing again apparently due to CFC use in China).
As many have pointed out, the reversal of the trend of improvement in the median quality of life is probably because we've reached Late Stage Neoliberal Capitalism.
Lots of "sticking your head in the sand" comments lately. Do you not like to be reminded of reality?
For some it’s doom and gloom for others it’s flourish and best times since forever. Such is life
Ancient cycle of bad good bad good as old as history.
Still, we are lucky to be born in first world countries, we probably share that in common, so our situation is from the start nicer than 80% of the world.
I recently discovered I suffer a lot of victim mentality which constrained me and probably made me partly insufferable so maybe it is something that troubles you too or not
I've noticed a big uptck with posts implying "humanity is dooned" today. What gives?
Edit: I meant doomed lol
*gestures broadly at everything*
Humanity is dooned
"Would you love me if I was a spicy space worm?"
Oops lol
