CaptainPistache··on A third of North America’s birds have vanished
Over the last 27 years, 75% of the flying insects biomass has disappeared because of human activity. But it must be cats !

I wonder how humanity would deal with a 75% of our food supply disappearing by 2050. Cats would certainly take over us...

CaptainPistache··on Mercedes beats Tesla to autonomous driving in California
> Most people cannot turn and change gear at the same time.

That's just not true. If you cannot do that, you won't get your driver's license in most countries.

That's just a bad idea. Cars passing through the street won't see the kids and kids won't see the cars.
CaptainPistache··on How I Started to See Trees as Smart
I do think trees are more evolve than us. Simply by existing, trees constantly create opportunity for life to grow.

They shelter quantity of animals, feed billions of more or less microscopic living creatures (insects, mushrooms, bacteria), induce rain, create an environment with ideal climatic conditions, prevent landslides, provide us incredible useful resources (wood, fruits, substances for medication)... Not even talking about the air you're breathing. And when they die, it's another cycle of benefits that begins.

Meanwhile we may have invented iPads, but as for now, we are at the exact opposite of trees and only know to live the destructive way.
