Can’t wait to hear how our society is judged in a few centuries.
Probably revolted at human overpopulation, the biggest and root cause of, amongst other things:
factory farming and industrial fishing, which slowly tortures to death 2-6 trillion fish every year, and enslaves 2-4 trillion animals (mostly fish and chickens) in torturous conditions every year;
mass-extinction causing anthropogenic climate-change;
I really dislike clickbait headlines like these, it’s Austria if you’re wondering.
Agreed. Come on Lemmy, we have to be better than these clickbait writing/pasting fuckwits.
Why does the LOC site require cookies and scripting to show and IMG? That's such an anti-library thing to do.
People are free to use hyperbole. Other people are free to be "the worst type of person" for criticizing narcissistic levels of exaggerated lies.

The reason many people say it's OK to be complicit in factory farming animals, but not humans, is because humans are smarter: "they're just animals". Pointing out that factory farmed animals are smarter than severely mentally-disabled humans, shows it's clearly not about intelligence. Speciesism is therefor similar to racism and sexism.
What's important is whether they can feel pain or not, not intelligence.
Pointing out the lie isn't gross. What is gross is torturing 3-6 trillion fish to death every year, and enslaving 1-3 trillion animals in torturous conditions every year.
Hundreds of billions of livestock are kept in torturous conditions every year. Dominion, Land of hope and glory, Earthlings.
1-3 trillion fish are kept in torturous conditions every year on factory farms.

How can I find a list of the Lemmy posts I've saved in my browser?
Saving posts are done by clicking on the star icon. Once saved the icon becomes orange.
Can't find them on my Profile page, or via the Search page, and searches seem to only answer it for apps.
Did the Staten-Generaal supervise the Heeren XVII, was it the other way round, were they usually the same people, or did it not work like that?
"LSLANDS (LSLAS MALVINAS)"
Why are the capital "I"s printed as "L"s, but the lowercase "i"s in small caps are correct?
Why is "U.K." lowercase (small caps), but "ARGENTINA" in all caps (also in small caps)?
