"The planet is fine. The people are fucked."
George Carlin
Aside from the thousands of species we killed in the process
It's a recurrent theme in the history of the world you know, thousands, hundreds of thousands, tens of millions of species killed, never to be seen again.
No species ever lasts that long.
No species ever lasts that long.
Sharks enter the thread.
Awkward silence ensues
Shark species go extinct all the time. New shark species arise.
Except for these species, classified as living fossils:
- Blind shark (Brachaelurus waddi)
- Bullhead shark (Heterodontus sp.)
- Cow shark (sixgill sharks and relatives) (Hexanchidae)
- Elephant shark (Callorhinchus milii)
- Frilled shark (Chlamydoselachus sp.)
- Goblin shark (Mitsukurina owstoni)
- Gulper shark (Centrophorus sp.)
Why does the cow shark description say it’s unique in having six and sometimes seven gill slits compared to all other sharks having five. Then the frilled shark says it has six gill slits.
They're both part of the Hexanchiformes order, which are seven gill sharks. So the cow shark article is wrong, there are two surviving families with more than five gills.
Thank you, I typically default to assuming I don’t understand or I’m confused when reading up things outside of my wheelhouse. I enjoyed reading up on the sharks you shared! I was trying to decide which one I would want to be if I could decide while laying in bed this morning. Felt silly but fuck it, I’m old, it’s nice to dream.
I hope you picked Goblin shark. You get to be "ugly" and don't give a fuck and outlive your enemies lives anyways.
We're actually going through the 6th mass extinction right now, so actually we are kinda killing most everything on the planet, not just us.
We should want to preserve that. Unfortunately a handful of old rich dudes don't care.
Nature will survive, this specific bird species perhaps not.
you missed the point completely. life has always survived mass extinction events and will survive this one too. life will eventually flourish once again and humanity will have been a blip in earths history
This is so fucking stupid.
No seriously. Stop. Think. This is SO FUCKING STUPID.
Humans can live IN SPACE. We are NOT destroying ourselves. We are HYPER ADVANCED COCKROACHES. We will easily survive whatever damage we cause to the planet.
The problem with destroying the planet is not that we're destroying humanity. What a stupid, egocentric take. The problem with destroying the planet IS THAT WE'RE DESTROYING THE PLANET.
"Mass extinction? Eh who cares" is a FUCKING STUPID TAKE and I have no clue why so many people here are okay with it. What the fuck is wrong with all of you? This is NOT OKAY. MASS EXTINCTIONS ARE NOT OKAY.
Is this a fucking psyop? What the fuck?
Just to touch on a problem but there.
Humans can live IN SPACE.
Ahhh no... We can habitat space. We really really can't live there.
We can't really give birth or develop in space, gravity unlike ours will eventually deteriorate our bodies, even on Mars you will go blind and start developing clots before too long just from the slightly lower gravity. And that's nothing of the radiation we are blocked from here on Earth.
The list is long and bad. We are adaptable but mostly on Earth adaptable. Able to survive climates and regions not everything ever. We can probably eventually figure out space but we can never just live there.
So when we destroy the planet we might really just take ourselves out too.
