    Long term? The ecosystem. If we don’t change course, at some point the species that goes extinct is us, and nature is going to recover. Life has survived much worse than what we can do.

      The great dying is a great example of this! 96% marine life dead and 70% of terrestrial vertebrate species dead. Planet came back no issues.

        Ahem. Trilobites would like a word with you, thanks.

        No issues, on geological timescales sure. I’m sure there were issues on human timescales though.

        Will be 100% one day no matter what unga and stick do.

      Realistically I think if humanity decided altogether to go for the genocide ending to life on earth we’d be able to kill all life on earth. We can’t directly kill all of the bacteria but if we were dogged enough we could induce the Venus ending (we will long be dead before victory is claimed though).

        Then I will use a pointy rock to break your bones and suck up their insides, after that I will male your bones into pointy sticks to hunt down your family with

    My body is a machine that turns ecosystem into stick

    Plenty of creatures have sticks. We’re monkies with fire, nothing else has that.

        They can’t make it themselves. Little fire cucks. That’s what made us really pop off. 14 billion years and only planetary scale forces could do that and then boom, some monkeys figure out if you hit two of the right rocks together in just the right way you can start fire anywhere anytime.

      We also enslaved rocks to do our bidding. I’m holding a collection of them right now to communicate with you. Hello fellow monkey!

    Careful. The one with a stick can ride it’s bicycle with no handlebars.

    Sometimes I like to imagine that we are nature’s last-ditch effort to put itself out of its misery. Everything kinda makes sense then.

      Nature will be fine, on the scale of nature.
