Yeah, 400 million years.
We are already into the mass extinction event caused by humans, the hardship for biodiversity is measured in millions of years in event we give nature back the space.
And three are no plans anywhere about that.
The hardship for humans seem irrelevant in comparison, if we have a war & kill 4 billon people that is still a 50 year setback (1975).
Also even if human population is starting to level (geopolitical prediction still point to 12bn, it’s more about the economy & living status), we will each year consume more of everything, space/surface included.

That’s so sad.
It’s hard to argue how we aren’t an infestation. The reach & environmental effects of humans per individual is outstanding even without factoring the explosive growth (globally only a few 100k or a few millions for 4 billion years, then a billon in a single millennia, then 9 billon in just 200 years).

Why would you put that uncensored comment out here for us to see? Now I’m going to have nightmares as if directed by John Capenter about spiders that look exactly like puppies to humans until they attack.
Oh, that’s a really cool thought!
(With a satisfying explanation for the biological size limits ofc. It can just be “magic”, idk, idea too nice to be cockblocked by a plot hole.)It would be even funnier if the arachnids lost some original traits in favour of mimicry & their new environments (like the jumping spoders in this post lost the jumping part for their ant masquerade).
Not the jumping, but like the way of life - they just figured dogs have it too good when bonded to nice humans so some jumping-dog spiders just decide they want to be pets so they cuddle & fetch their entire lives (sure the humans might fund it suspect how many live snacks they have to feed their pupper, or how no smol animals seem to hang around the house, but that’s not that different to having a cat).
Also nothing beats the feeling of a happy jumping-dog spider jump-hugging you when you get home with all its weight.
Also jumping-dog spiders - kinds of puppy eyes!
The mammal head tilt still needs some (evolutionary) work tho:

You misunderstood the enshitification part. \
- The thing was out before & not new. \
- The sudden influx of new ppl possibly (almost always) came bcs of interests & opportunity of a company, but certainly after it became popular. \
- Op lost the ability to enjoy or be public about the interest, that is a loss (that happened bcs of random fuckery for profit).

Politicians sponsored by the fossil lobby are the norm, even outside pressure from USA (via ambassadors, state visits, bilateral agreements and extortions, or again lobbyists) is normal.
It’s present all over Europe as well tho it’s (gotten?) weaker.

Low carbon footprint living gets way more hate it should (and it shouldn’t get any).

Yes, you are correct, I was inaccurate in my deception of events - they systematically cut grass (but also less tall grass & there are less mixed meadows).

Good, I’m happy it’s getting normalised.

I wish I could say ‘finally, I can be of use’ - but at this point I would be just feeding animals plastics, pfas, and heavy metals.

Poor clean spiders.
But I get what you are saying, it makes some intuitive sense.
In my case I think I’ve (as a kid) narrowed down the technical memetic part mostly to the very centre-point where the 8 lines end, so basically my brain recognising the legs (starting from the end of the legs) & then seeing how they “end” up in one narrow place (so, relatively to spider leg size, if the sternum looking from the bottom or the end part of prosoma from the top is “too tightly together” or even too perfectly round/octagonal shaped).
(And spiders differ very much in that regard, even the same one in relation to how well fed it is :D.)Why? Idk, but doesn’t feel learned.
That I remember (again, as a kid) I was only triggered (differently than described above) by one “too smooth” species, the poor, harmless, misjudged beneficial, cute (well, as all spiders) wasp spiders.
I didn’t harm them but it’s a sad memory for me bcs the smol town (or the whole valley?) I grew up in basically doesn’t have them anymore. Bcs we hate flowers/biodiversity, but love grass & pesticides I guess. I should be glad they were even still around for me to experience them.(No pics bcs you mentioned you only like unshaven butts & legs.)

Oh, yeah - but I don’t know what species of and it’s mimicking. I perhaps that’s just how they look too & now we are body-shaming for looking to spidery (‘sup, you 6-legged no-neck with that thicc ass’) :D.
- Comment on Spidey Senses 4 days ago:
Omg, at least it’s alive in your pic, ty <3.
And yes, we are hardwired for some memetics about spider-looking things, but being amazed by them, understanding them biologically, & perhaps a bit of co-living (about as close to befriending them without them being “a pet” & still independent - you know, just seeing & saying hi to Clara every day, watching the life of a begin with ups & downs) may adapt how the association network in your brainhole is used.
(Just guessing.) - Comment on Spidey Senses 4 days ago:
Carcinisation is a bit more of an adaption to environment (convergent evolution into same-ish shape for the chance utility of it) vs niche mimicry which is in relation to another specific species.

Asking the important questions.
I would actually like to know - did our meme vocabulary shrink? This darn kids these days!! Fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu
The other way around seems to work, likeaboss is era typical gigachad.

Looking forward to it as well, yet I think that if not for the title & locations, I wouldn’t recognize it. Need to see some gameplay. And flower gathering.
