  It’s more accurate to say all plants have always domesticated humans. We came after them, we depend on them to survive, we’re required to consume their waste to live, so we can’t live without them. They, however, have the option of consuming our waste to live, but are perfectly capable of living without us, and will likely continue to do so after we’re extinct.

    To be fair, I’m one of the 10,000, so it was novel to me!

  Does this mean we were conned into domesticating cats?

    I thought cats domesticated themselves
