I wish I could get the joy out of picking up an animal turd that Steve Irwin had. Every time I walk the dogs.

It's really amazing how much damage his loss probably did to the world.

I can't think of any pro-wildlife "influencers" that would be at his level today, much less wherever he would have reached in the remaining years.

David Attenborough's narrations for nature docs, maybe? But that's not really the same as watching a wildlife fanatic like Steve Irwin.

He has a son that seems eager to follow in his footsteps, so maybe he'll fill that void one day.

In the anglosphere maybe, which most of Lemmy seems to represent. I come across countless legends doing the same work but without the same recognition. When Greta Thunberg, who I admire, became big I read an article about all the people around her age that have been doing the same campaigning. They were mostly indigenous people so nobody came along with a TV show for them.

But since we shape our own environment, we are guest and shouldn't be everywhere on the planet.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Fortunately, there's enormous swaths of the planet that are totally inhospitable to human life.

Unfortunately, we've managed to deposit all sorts of toxic waste from the depths of the ocean to the hottest corners of the desert to the peaks of mountains.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Those places are also inhospitable to most life, period. Just because the TD habitable to humans doesn’t make it ours, either.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

Absolute Legend.

Rest in peace.

This is why I get so mad when people say “we don’t have an overpopulation problem, we have a resource allocation problem”.

No. There are not supposed to be this many fucking humans. Where the fuck are the animals supposed to live????

We need to return to preindustrial population levels so the animals can too

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Wildlife is now only 4% of the mammalian life on the planet, by mass. The rest is livestock and humans. https://www.ecowatch.com/biomass-humans-animals-2571413930.html

"Our wildlife"

It's not ours, just like the planet isn't.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

it is the same thing as saying my community/our community/my class/my girl/boy friend/ my favourite cafe/my dad etc. Does not necessarily mean you own it, just a short hand way of expressing a more abstract form of relationship than physically owning something.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (3 children)

The flag I shoved into this penguin says otherwise.

Evolution just needs to kick the rest of the animals into high gear and do some defcon 1 shit, like making seaguls venomous and thirsty for human blood, or inventing funnel-webbed Taipans that can fly and open doors. New airborne bacteria that feeds exclusively on the human optic nerve, and daffodil pollen that causes category 5 cytokine storms.

Level the fucking playing field.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

plastic eating bacteria seems to be on its way atleast

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah sorry, ill have to put the project on hold. My laptops got the clap again.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

IT: have you sprayed the latest antibacterial spray on the laptop?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

There's already enough suffering in the world, no need to create more! the parts of our brain that gave us the ability to shape our environment outpaced the ones with the old tribal way of thinking we needed to survive.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (6 children)

Everyone in here acting like farming and livestock hasn't been the cornerstone of human population since 400k years ago...

Eating meat is very much a part of nature, if you're implying he would be a hypocrite for eating meat
