You know they'll start pulling shit like 'You do this new thing for me and I'll tip you for that other thing you did for me in the past '
I wasn't trying to prove what would survive, merely show how resilient life can be. If a simple microbe is guaranteed to survive in hell, something more complex able to behaviourally adapt/relocate is likely to as well. The greatest danger to complex life is having nothing to feed on.
Tropical fish might have to survive in the Arctic Ocean, or grasses in the northern prairies, insects of a zillion different types and sizes. Life, uh, finds a way.
We won't kill everything. No matter what we do. Life will continue and more of it than anyone thinks will, even of the plants and animals. It is humans and most of the large animals and intolerant plants that need fear the impending Climate catastrophe.
I feel as though the assumption that humans had the ability to kill all complex life like some people suggest is exaggerating the significance of humans
It absolutely is. There are microbes that thrive at the bottom of the ocean in the boiling acidic conditions of hydrothermal vents. There is absolutely no way anything humans can do at this point would kill ALL life on the planet. There will absolutely be some specialist microbe somewhere that looks at whatever we did to the planet and says 'yup, now is my time to shine!'.

Not an American, but AOC is who I hope the Dems go with next time. She's the only thing I envy about your political situation atm.
No, just no. If you want strangers to take what you say seriously then you should show the simplest respect by supporting your claims with the reason(s) you have them. Laziness is flapping your mouth off and expecting to not have to back it up.
And the winner for 'Worst News Headline of 2023' goes to...
Agreed. Got my revenge though. They got fired a week after I quit working there.
Good point about FB (I've been off that shithole for years now and forgot). You know what, you're right. Our only real hope now is laws for a right to online privacy. The market needs to be destroyed and I'm just hoping we can brainstorm a solution at this point. As for Lemmy: I don't think it can be fixed. The data is there for the taking. At least it's not being horded by a site owner?
Odysee
Ugh, I just took a look and made the mistake of clicking on the category 'News and Politics'. JFC I'm going to have to take a blowtorch to my motherboard just to be safe. First channel: the Alex Jones Show...
mmm, that's good ham!
