A planet is a pen without fences. You just have to expand your perspective. You've obviously never interacted with a farmer in your life if you've never heard them brag about how many animals they have on the property. And those are just the ones they can count. Im sure some crazy farmer somewhere in India would be mad proud of how many rats he's got running around. They're holy in certain parts.

The pic says "of all the mammals on earth". It's exactly as i said with the pen, just scaled up to a 3d spherical planetary sized pen. The numbers I'm talking about don't change.

There are WAY more rats than cows. Period. They're on every continent except Antarctica, and there might be some weird subterranean prehistoric voles huddled around a hydrothermal vent pool or some shit.

OP just needs to add a qualifier to the graphic. Anything along the lines of "with respect to biomass" right at the start

Okay, so you have 240 rats and one cow in a pen on a farm. How many mammals are in the pen?

This survey would answer that the pen is 90% cow and 10% rat by weight, therefore there are 9 times as many cows as there are rats.

In reality land, where the rest of us live, we would say that there are 241 mammals in the pen and only 1 of them is a cow.

You see why I'm calling bullshit by the way this is worded?

Well thats not what the infographic says. It specifies "mammals", not "mammals by weight".

OK so how many tons of cow are accounted for by whales?

Or does the survey cherry pick land animals too?

Source?

Im gonna go out on a limb and say this is udder cowshit. Rats are mammals, as are raccoons, squirrels, and whole fucking masses of little basically unfarmable varmints. You're telling me that there's like 12 farm cows for every wild rat on earth?

Horse. Shit.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Well and the amazing sloppy toppy pudding poppy.

Agree. Did not get sucked in like subnautica, which is weird because it's basically a small reskin and new (but much smaller) map.

It should have worked, but it very didn't.

Being dumb enough to let your infant die has a direct effect on the gene pool. Unfortunately, we only have a 50% success rate here. The other one might grow up to cook even more babies. Only time will tell.

Darwinism is pseudoscience?

Americans don't think lmfao especially the police. Did you know that it is legal to discriminate against applicants to the police if they are too smart? There's whole court cases about this. Apparently, the argument is that people who are smarter will be less obedient when given an order because they might just employ some critical thinking skills instead of blindly following directions.

Police don't want thinkers. They might be "bored" or "dissatisfied" when they figure out they're nothing but bullies to keep the citizens in line.

So no, if you see a cop in riot gear at a protest, do not expect a thinking, feeling, or compassionate human being. A cop in riot gear is a goon through and through, and a trusted goon at that. Goons only understand force, and if you show them more force than they're prepared to handle, their core programming as self serving cowards will come to the surface. Self serving cowards are people who can be salvaged. Goons are not.

Idk man baby Hitler totally deserved to go out that way imo. Mussolini, Netanyahu, and Stalin too while we're at it. Not every baby is destined for greatness.
