Looks menacingly at nature
Imagine how much worse it would be if we were trying.
Comment on Who would win: every human in the world vs. every animal in the world?
mPony@lemmy.world 6 months agoYes, we are defeating non-human life without trying. if we were trying I imagine we could make quite a dent.
but if the animal kingdom was trying, I think that would be pretty terrifying.

We’re also killing humans almost just as well. If we tried harder to kill animals, we’d kill more humans too.

I feel like the animal kingdom tries literally all the time. Women being eaten by snakes, whales attacking boats, dogs killing babies, etc.
Even if they made a coordinated effort, they’d merely take us by surprise for a moment and then we’d kick the shit outta them once we realize what’s happening.

I’ve had significantly more animals run away from me than towards me.

I think ants alone could pretty much wipe out humanity tbh. If they targeted the food supply chain and power grid, I’m not sure how much we could really do about it.

They might do a bunch of damage at first but then we’d spray vast quantities of pesticides on everything.

What about a swarm of disease carrying rodents that when bite cause severe illness

If we were trying, we would do things like going from 30 million bison to 325 (three hundred twenty-five) bison in a matter of 55 years.
