Phlegmish posted:Australia, really? Do you have a link? https://nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.1469-8137.1998.00289.x Here you go. The aborigines started the process a very, very long time ago. There's actually a really interesting part of some aboriginal culture where "tending the garden" has metaphysical implications. It's beyond the purview of this paper and discussion, though.

Big Beef City posted:There's a vast difference between an asteroid arriving tomorrow and someone constantly believing entirely that tomorrow is and must be that day. Every generation, or at least the last few, love to imagine themselves important in that way. Boy howdy are they going to be disappointed again when they wake up one day in 50 years and the only changes of note are another 17 varieties of doritos and some sort of instantaneous delivery service for said doritos

I've basically tuned out climate apocalypse stuff because the general gist of it seems to be "If right now, this very second, every person on earth is forced to live in a tiny box and eat bug gruel and wear a grey jumpsuit and never go outside, humanity might survive 15 years before complete climate death. If not, we will only survive ten before half the world is on fire and the other half is underwater" I mean if that's the case I may as well just grill

Lmao if you think climate change will kill more than, say, 4 billion people. Just lmao if you dont think humanity wont just trudge forward after that. Some people have no idea how hard it is to do a full wipeout. An asteroid MAY do it, but just 1000 people living in, say, some Colorado caves would put us back on track in just 200000 years after impact. A cosmic blink of an eye. The earth could spin off its orbit and float to pluto and we could still survive it.

I can only broker so much internal panic at any moment so i've decided to panic about something real, that my local Hannaford stopped carrying the kind of hot pockets i like. wtf, it's literally hitler and incontrovertible evidence that as a species we've already peaked and we might as well just jim jones the whole operation

Dont Touch ME posted:Y'all are soft as gently caress. I guess this is the inevitable conclusion of screeching like a banshee over absolutely loving nothing. It becomes inevitable that when there's even the slightest bump of something not great, the screeching intensifies 10 fold. But... but... b..b..but It's too hot to go outside today so I was sitting in my room (parents' basement) reading agitation propaganda on twatter waiting on my new game to download, but I had to pause the download because it was interrupting my 4K premium porn streaming session. No, my constant consumption of narcissistic content on social media, lack of exercise, and daily porn habit are NOT lowering my self esteem. I am not going in until Friday because the boss cut my hours for being late. WHY WHY WHY does the world hate me???? .... /s I hardly consume much in terms of "opinion content" news. I try and find the long form, unedited, unopinionated associated media about whatever the "big story" is. Y'all who are freaked out to the point of depression need to check your disingenuity filter because no matter how you paint it, the world runs on money and someone out there is gonna try and sell you your demise.

Glad we have an authority like you to educate us on what a full wipeout would take, Mr. "Earth could go to pluto and we'd survive". Asteroid coming but no big deal guys we're just gonna round up 1000 people and head into a cave to wait it out. There's bound to be plenty of food clean water and medicine down there, after all bats, dragons, and hadals have lived there for centuries

Anyone tailgating is taking a liberty on the safety of the person in front. Literally yesterday I had some bone head in a beater car riding my rear end flailing around poking his middle fingers to the sky in rage at me. I won't mention his skin pigmentation, car stickers, engine size, or nothing like that. Assholes usually are good at their own self-description.

Significant chunks of your very country are literally on fire beyond any previous expectations, like 30% of population are effectively unemployed or employed and unable to achieve even the most baseline level of survival even without considering catastrophes but everything is fine, it's first world problems! While the places that aren't have thousands of refugees leaving and getting straight up genocided by the west while their nations are actually dealing with water, power and soon to be food shortages. Business as normal!
