minus-squarestoy@lemmy.ziphexbear6·3 months agoThe planet is fine, it will be fine long after we are gone. It is our civilization is seems to be fucked. linkfedilink
minus-squareCommunistBear [he/him]hexbear11·3 months agoSure but I'm including the biosphere as a part of the planet. Rocks are cool and all but life is much cooler imo link
minus-squarei_love_FFT@lemmy.mlhexbear1·3 months agoYeah. There'll probably be a long period before plastic can be biodegraded, like it happened for wool/cellulose in pre-historic periods. At some point, a mushroom will learn how to use it efficiently and then it will all be degraded. We will be long gone by then. linkfedilink
