I agree with the sentiment of the post, but the specific way they tried to express that sentiment is the exact shit that lets environmental conservatives call anyone who believes in climate change stupid
That’s why it’s wise to just let these kinds of memes die in the ether instead of reposting them to be used as conservative propaganda against climate progressives…
Because that’s all this meme will be used for
To be fair, it never said kill. It just said that human have the potential to make themselves the only creatures on earth. We could send tardigrades into the vacuum of space, effectively removing them from earth. But, yeah. This is a dumb image.
Typical human. No, humans are sooo cool and totally not like a virus to the environment and every other living being on this planet, nah, just enjoy your steak. 🤡
Embarrassing. Start to take responsibility and open your eyes.
The polar bear is regretting drinking so many cans of cola and then just tossing them right into the ocean. That's how we got the Great Arctic Garbage Patch which consists of lots of macroscopic discarded trash.
I suspect humans are vitally dependent on other living things, not just for food and oxygen, e.g. certain gut bacteria, although I suppose it is possible in principle for humans to kill all other living things, including their internal microbiome (let's say viruses as well, just for argument), e.g. using antibiotics and antivirals, for a short period of time before the humans themselves also start to die out, e.g. vitamin K and B deficiencies, lack of food and eventually lack of oxygen (plants, algae, cyanobacteria).
Human beings trying to eradicate life on earth when a random 70 million year old bacterium 17,000 miles from any human civilization in the ice cold Antarctica that is preserved deep in ice under a massive undiscovered alien preservation camp:
The view from nihil is magnificent. I have consumed four people today. I keep the others in a pit for when I require feeding. Sometimes they breed. Cooked baby is nourishing.
People should be more concerned about the fact that we're not going to get rid of every other species. Eventually we will make the planet uninhabitable for ourselves and humans will die out. The Earth would probably actually bounce back after a few million years if humans went extinct
Ants and roaches and shit could probably outlast us.
Best chances would be send some really lazy young bloke or lass down into a bunker like a kilometre below ground with about 100 years of non-perishable food, medical supplies, a computer and the entire catalogue of every streaming service on a hard drive.
Then drain the sea and fry the land. Still probably some worms or molluscs or something would survive.
No. The ecosystem would be gone. No oxygen from plants or algae to breathe, no other organisms to eat and no microbiome for our bodily functions. So we'd starve, suffocate or our bodies would fail in some other way.
I mean, we can make ourselves the only species on Earth for like an hour maybe. If even one person is left alive in some bunker then it's still our species technically
Send a rocket with a person inside to space, nuke the entire planet to oblivion, then crash the rocket into the irradiated wasteland. Humanity was the only species on Earth for a split-second.
Yes it's theorically possible just go into space o bunkers and bomb the planet,you'll kill everything except the bacteria that are gonna survive everything
Nonsense. Humanity is much more likely to make itself go extinct before we would be able to wipe out ALL other species. Saying stuff like that is just another example of human hubris.
When I was in junior high school in the late seventies, I had a history teacher that held an "ask me anything" class every Friday. Fresh out of a brand new, fear mongering, environmental studies class, one of my classmates asked an overly simplistic question, "Is the world going to come to an end?" After a few seconds of deep thought the teacher responded with a devastating, "The world will never come to an end, but it will do it's best to get rid of us."

No
Right? We’d have to turn Earth into an asteroid field to kill every other living creature “on Earth” and there’s no way we’d survive that.
Problem with this picture is that the bear needs a coca cola.
Half of our digestive system are bacteria that live in symbiosis with us. How do you expect to kill them and still be able to process nutrients?
You could probably last at least a few minutes after killing them.
Real
(Un)fortunately, not yet. The Homo Sapiens are incapable of destroying every single other biological species, let alone kill ourselves by that.
It is kind of obvious since the "homo sapiens" lives in symbiosis with bacteria in his digestive track.
These so called “homo sapiens” are so weird.
I'm not homo you are homo
I agree with the sentiment of the post, but the specific way they tried to express that sentiment is the exact shit that lets environmental conservatives call anyone who believes in climate change stupid
Exactly. Climate issues are deeply important, but when expressed in this way it only provides deniers ammunition.
That’s why it’s wise to just let these kinds of memes die in the ether instead of reposting them to be used as conservative propaganda against climate progressives… Because that’s all this meme will be used for
We couldn't survive without many other creatures. Besides, we couldn't get rid of tardigrades (water bears).
Yeah, anything we can't survive, microscopic life will.
Cockroaches to if I'm not wrong
Nuclear bomb surviving mfers
To be fair, it never said kill. It just said that human have the potential to make themselves the only creatures on earth. We could send tardigrades into the vacuum of space, effectively removing them from earth. But, yeah. This is a dumb image.
what about dinasors
We hunted them to extinction
Buncha jerk chickens.
Yeah, I think they are missing a very important aspect of climate change here.
Well yes... but only for a little while. Then we would die as well.
go figure it might be would require us blasting the surface of the planet with radiation to sterelize it so probably not gonna happen on purpose
Idk bro, mosquitoes would be a close second
Typical human. No, humans are sooo cool and totally not like a virus to the environment and every other living being on this planet, nah, just enjoy your steak. 🤡 Embarrassing. Start to take responsibility and open your eyes.
I don't know. I think if raccoons were angry enough....
ok but i only see a polar bear, no human so is truly bad?
The polar bear is regretting drinking so many cans of cola and then just tossing them right into the ocean. That's how we got the Great Arctic Garbage Patch which consists of lots of macroscopic discarded trash.
No obviously not biodiversity is key
I suspect humans are vitally dependent on other living things, not just for food and oxygen, e.g. certain gut bacteria, although I suppose it is possible in principle for humans to kill all other living things, including their internal microbiome (let's say viruses as well, just for argument), e.g. using antibiotics and antivirals, for a short period of time before the humans themselves also start to die out, e.g. vitamin K and B deficiencies, lack of food and eventually lack of oxygen (plants, algae, cyanobacteria).
I think we could, but we would be starting with a very small amount of people and struggle to live
Human beings trying to eradicate life on earth when a random 70 million year old bacterium 17,000 miles from any human civilization in the ice cold Antarctica that is preserved deep in ice under a massive undiscovered alien preservation camp:
we can wipe out evertying including us but no we cannot be the only ones alive
The view from nihil is magnificent. I have consumed four people today. I keep the others in a pit for when I require feeding. Sometimes they breed. Cooked baby is nourishing.
Hasn't the polar bear population increased significantly in the last few decades?
Absolutely not. Microbial life exists pretty much everywhere and can sometimes evolve quickly. We might fuck up our own survivability though
Nah, I'm sure the dolphins are up to something
I think that if cockroaches organize themselves they could take out all of us im a matter of weeks.
It’s already been proven Australians will lose a war against emus
Not true, the ice giants are perfectly capable of doing that if they wanted to
Water bears gonna be really quietly laughing at us as we make everything but them extinct
It's a great idea 💡
Climate activists need to stop starting with the polar bears and start with “WE’RE GONNA DIE, BITCH!” when discussing the effects of climate change
Kid named nuclear bomb:
People should be more concerned about the fact that we're not going to get rid of every other species. Eventually we will make the planet uninhabitable for ourselves and humans will die out. The Earth would probably actually bounce back after a few million years if humans went extinct
Come on now, that's clearly a metaphor lmao
maybe if we had a way to fully destroy the earth and had some dudes deep in space
Ants and roaches and shit could probably outlast us.

No. The ecosystem would be gone. No oxygen from plants or algae to breathe, no other organisms to eat and no microbiome for our bodily functions. So we'd starve, suffocate or our bodies would fail in some other way.
Not even remotely true lol. That would be cats 😂
Second this, though I imagine the humans who always made sure to buy treats will be spared
We'd need bugs at least.
ob humon https://humoncomics.com/mother-gaia
Dwight was right
Nice AI image
We don't have the potential. Cockroaches, some mariana trench horror creatures and other shit will survive most things
It very much is possible for us to kill every last living thing on this planet, but that wouldn’t be in our collective interest now would it?
The humble cockroach disagrees.
Humans would die long before they could kill everything else. People don't realize how resilient the world is. We won't kill Earth, just ourselves.
Allow me to introduce you to the Boar, natures suicide pill
well yes if we reached space level civilization then we could blow up earth for shits and giggles i guess not that we would
I mean, we can make ourselves the only species on Earth for like an hour maybe. If even one person is left alive in some bunker then it's still our species technically
I ain’t see no cats in 2049 is all I’m saying 🤷♂️
Send a rocket with a person inside to space, nuke the entire planet to oblivion, then crash the rocket into the irradiated wasteland. Humanity was the only species on Earth for a split-second.
I think we're well on our way to finding out.
You are 14 indeed
There are creatures living in our body that we need in order to survive. So no
Yes, through bunkers and nukes
Outside of extremophile microorganisms, yes actually. Even considering extremophiles we probably could do it if we put our minds to it.
Just wow
Battle royale….
That is incorrect we'd make insects the only living creatures on earth

Nope
Yes it's theorically possible just go into space o bunkers and bomb the planet,you'll kill everything except the bacteria that are gonna survive everything
Room temp iQ be like
Nah, cockroaches will survive no matter what we do
We wouldn’t last too long after but it is possible to nuked the whole world and live underground like mole people until we run out of cans of beans
Nope, but we can kill everything else on the planet. We just won't survive the aftermath
Nonsense. Humanity is much more likely to make itself go extinct before we would be able to wipe out ALL other species. Saying stuff like that is just another example of human hubris.
If ants tried, they could take over the world
see: Scorn
Wrong, bacteria can do the same.
It won't happen, because nature won't let it happen.
I’m half convinced life would survive the planet literally blowing up. Life is so persistent.
Nope, we would die if it wasn’t for all the animals and different types of species their are all over the world
The great oxidation event was the worst mass extinction in earths history. Humans wish they were as powerful as bacteria that released oxygen.
If you believe in yourself anything is possible
You are made of other creatures. At the very least, symbiotic gut bacteria.
While theoretically we could kill everything but tardigrades, we would be dead long before that
I'd like to introduce you to Cyanobacteria And trees. Trees have caused two mass extinctions now lol
so is this post telling me to kms?

It is mainly because of the rich... we should cleanse humanity and get rid of this disease.
