Whenever I see that I've received a reply here I get a little dopamine hit and I think "oh man, time to see what my fellow chapos think of what I've said!". This is even true when I've been arguing for veganism. Sure, there may be some disagreement, but it probably won't be super, dishearteningly nasty.
By contrast, every single time I see that orange envelope on reddit I tend to feel a little pang of anxiety and my first thought is always "oh fuck, what did I comment on again? Am I about to get some literal hate speech thrown my way?"
So yeah, thanks friends! Someday I may even ditch reddit for good because of you, and my life would be better for it.
And here we're getting into the absolute weeds of what is the best thing to do? And, well, I'm not a scientist, I don't know. Once I have a place of my own where I'm going to be for the long term I'm going to do my research and see what pollinators are correct and how I can help them exist and do their best for the surrounding ecosystem. But until then, all I can do is be a little skeptical about honeybees and that's what I'm going to do, because honeybees aren't always the answer.
But yeah, I don't know, native species are pretty fucked, and honestly, so is everything else. I learned today that yeasts are evolving to live at higher temperatures and that means that soon they're going to be able to survive at human body temperatures. And that means that soon humans will be dying because they became a yeast colony. What a world, we're all fucked.
yep pretty much. agreed on all counts. if someone told me the sky was literally falling because, fuck i dont know, green house gasses are now causing boil off of the upper atmosphere or something... i would not even be surprised, cause hell world gonna hell world.
