yeah I think a lot about shifting perspectives of normal. I think there’s a more well-known term that summarizes the phenomenon. like the photos of the trophy fish in the Florida keys gradually getting smaller hey old rich dude: our lifestyle has ensured that no matter how much money, time, and effort you spend you’ll never get a glimpse of the world we killed

every summer i patiently wait in my living room until i hear the noble warble of the pigeon, i carefully slide open the patio door, pick up the pigeon and place it with the rest in my bedroom. 3 more birds and i will reach 10,000 and my work will be complete.

We made a special poison that killed bugs and also made bird eggs so brittle they crushed under their parents' weight. Aside from dioxins being giga-poison to any non-human animal, or radioactivity, has anything else we released come close to the harm of DDT?

The Oldest Man posted:Lol also just transporting invasive species around on purpose has probably caused a few thousand extinctions Dodos had the largest brain of any bird that coexisted with humans. They had complex social structures and they could predict the weather, so they'd move off the beaches well in advance of storms. We think of them as stupid birds because they had no natural predators, so the sailors and dogs and rats ate them to extinction. There's a rabbit-like animal called a mara that lives in South America. Their population declined badly because of competition from invasive rabbits, so the Chilean government introduced North American coyotes that eat rabbits. The coyotes found the mara easier prey, so they started killing them all, and the coyotes had to be completely culled.

Nah, follow the line of its body up and you can see its gills and its bottom jaw (you can't see its entire head because the hook is in the lower jaw and the rest of the head is flopping down and away from the camera). That's just an absolutely massive fatty fish.
