We’ve been here 300,000 years.
Polluting the planet for just 200.
Many species have lasted millions.

🐜 Ants – 140M yrs
🐊 Crocodiles – 200M yrs
🦎 Tuatara – 200M yrs
🪳 Cockroaches – 300M yrs
🐞 Dragonflies – 300M yrs
🌿 Ferns – 360M yrs
🦈 Sharks – 400+ million yrs
🪸 Sponges – 600M+ yrs
🦠 Cyanobacteria – 2.5 Billion yrs

Perspective Check:
Humans: 🧍 300,000 yrs
Pollution: 🏭 200 yrs
Cockroaches: 😏 300,000,000 yrs

I feel like we are the gene splicing of monkeys and pigs, aliens made us, but that is just my opinion.

Even before the invention of steam power, we wiped out multiple species from existence. Let that sink in.

I miss the days when there were more cows than humans. I wouldn't be surprised if the human population surpasses the cockroach population.

... And then we have people wonder why human life is so cheap nowadays.

Indeed if nature wants to throws a fit NOTHING we can do .... I mean take the countless natural disaster that take countless life's there's NOTHING we can do except hide.

Humans assume that intelligence is superior. But Mother Nature decides and if things keep going the way they are going then intelligence may just end up being a short lived failure.
