    My sounding port is DC 24V compatible, just hook me up, I have still decades of battery to offer!

  the fact it’s spreading means that it’s perfectly adapted for survival in that environment you created, so it’s perfect for that pace.

  There is such a thing as exotic invasive species that destabilize the local ecosystem, though.

    Yes, humans.

    But I’m not just continuing a bit, humans are rally the source of a lot of invasive species introduced to local environments where otherwise that wouldn’t happen. And it mostly happened unintentionally, but intentionally too.

    The dif I wanna point out is the scale & timeframes.
    Eg naturally (by which I mean without human involvement) invasive species mostly happen really slowly, and from adjacent ecosystems (sure, there are exceptions, but it’s like spiders shooting butt-strings into the air & just by chance floating to Hawaii).

  No weed is for plant. Fir animals its pest/vermin.

    True. Which still leads to an infestation.

      The average growth rate from 10,000 BCE to 1700 was just 0.04% per year.

      Wow that’s crazy to me. I had always envisioned humans steadily spreading and growing constantly. I had no idea that we were basically treading water for so long.

        Yeah, 4 million years of various “humanoid” species cohabiting & barely making it through (one big event wiping out the whole species - that’s why are gave such a shallow gene pool & all look “identical” relative to difs in other species).

        But the rapid growth was always unsustainable, the gens lived on natural wealth that they just took out of (into?) the economy way quicker than the replenishing cycle. But the difference between a million and a billon is unimaginable, that’s why we can now witness the collapse wit within a generation.

      Love the malthusianism. Why function on person or life quality when you can terminate your thoughts with ‘human bad’?

      No need to ever fix or grow if just ‘human bad’.
