Scorching hot take, heard this week offline

"Climate change is actually a good thing because necessity is the mother of invention. If you have any faith in humans at all, climate change is just what we need to make humans an interplanetary species!" so-true

That take just increased global temps to the 2 degree mark.

It's also a great way for mother Earth to teach us a hard lesson. How else are we to learn that we can't have whole species on one "basket". No, a good planet to start off on could mars. Now all we need is to invent, invest and grow the smart ones. It's just so hard to do so with so many yachts for sale.

Did you forget /s after all this?

[-] SnowBunting@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago

Yeah. XD forgot that sarcasm marker. Would explain my current inbox.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 1 points 9 months ago

I barely caught the sarcasm; I've seen takes like yours non-sarcastically before so I had to squint hard. my-hero cultists have radioactive takes.

we can't have whole species on one "basket".

get in the bazinga rocket — we're solving climate change by fucking off to a planet we've never even set foot on!

Earth is the most hospitable planet to human life in the entire universe, and we seemingly can't even put in the meager effort to keep it habitable. What makes you think we'll be any better at making Mars habitable? Not just keeping it habitable as we've failed to do on Earth, but making it habitable in the first place.

It just happened to be the first planet I thought of.

Saving humanity by expecting a dead planet to be the refuge, under the leadership of the same monsters destroying the planet we're still on. galaxy-brain
