Comment on It's just loss.

There are WAY more rats than cows. Period. They’re on every continent except Antarctica, and there might be some weird subterranean prehistoric voles huddled around a hydrothermal vent pool or some shit.
OP just needs to add a qualifier to the graphic. Anything along the lines of “with respect to biomass” right at the start

So it you know that, why would you insist it’s saying that instead of immediately looking for something that does fit?
A planet is not a pen and no farmer ever will say they have 241 animals!

A planet is a pen without fences. You just have to expand your perspective. You’ve obviously never interacted with a farmer in your life if you’ve never heard them brag about how many animals they have on the property. And those are just the ones they can count. Im sure some crazy farmer somewhere in India would be mad proud of how many rats he’s got running around. They’re holy in certain parts.

A cow is a bird without being a bird, you just have to expand you perspective & neglect the original context.
What I’m realising is that cows are spying on us …
