The earth wouldn’t care if it was a barren rock devoid of life. We aren’t going extinct more easily than every other large mammal on earth, so “bouncing back eventually” misses how horrifying it would be. I’m tired of people pretending like extinction is inevitable, or even the worst fate that might await us. I’m not scared of extinction; I’m scared of us facing hopeless lives of full of suffering only to die painful deaths.
We should force these cunts that are bringing fracking and data centers to the world to live in the Atacama desert without any provisions for the rest of their short lives
It’s very easy to blame things caused by big corporations but a quarter of all emissions come from you eating meat which is your choice and you can stop doing that.
And in Germany every year there’s articles that the slaughter factories can’t sell as much as last year because people eat less meat. Yes, Regulation is needed and great and all but it won’t happen if everyone is sitting on their ass still eating meat showing the world that they don’t care about the slaughter factories. Individual people still make a slow difference and that’s better than just yelling regulation while eating corpses.
By your logic we should all use LLMs because it’s the big corpos that own the data centers so there’s nothing you can do
I completely disagree. We don’t need coordination to individually decide to eat less meat and buy more local. You don’t need to stop completely to make an impact. And it’ll be easier to encourage and convince others when you’ve already started yourself. We can do that at the same time as fighting for companies to reduce their emissions.

Earth is being awfully selfish. Does he even care about all the shareholder value they’re creating?
We just need to build more datacenters in order to compute the solution to the problem of all these data centers.
Earth will bounce back without us around being all virus-like.
Sure eventually. That doesn’t mean 80% of biodiversity has to die to increase shareholder value though
Viruses, famous for never killing their host.

Yep, you got it. But this wasn’t a post about how much life will suffer on earth as a result of humans. That is, as you say, quite terrifying.
Maybe we should all come together and do something about it.

Still corporations fault. They own the slaughter factories. Stop blaming people.

Corporations aren’t just killing animals because it’s fun. They do it because you pay them for it.
This is a very libertarian view
Asking other leftists to implement their anti oppression views in their daily life: you’re a lib actually
To be fair, me alone going vegan is not going to stop the meat from hitting the shelves.
We need global organisation and co-ordination to do this.

You want global coordination but you don’t want to be part of the change?
You’re not allowed to call out bigger sources of emissions and water waste, we have animals to slaughter, almonds to grow, and golf to play!
it comes from meat farms, i dont produce a gallon of waste and emissions from eating chicken nuggets :p
sure, supply and demand, but its less likely that if you complain on lemmy than more popular social media that you will make a difference.
aka: womp womp, look at this pro-corpo slop
