Love how that is being said on a phone which took international trade and industry to complain with.
It's weird reading the responses talking about how much work it took to get humans fed. Folks, every other "lesser" creature on this planet has done it while finding balance. Humans are the outlier. We truly seem more like a sickness that's infected an otherwise health host than an "intelligent" ape.
I mean this in the nicest way possible, but those other creatures achieve balance with nature through continuous cycles of mass die offs or constant predation. I definitely agree that measures should be taken to make humans less of a burden on our ecosystem, but following examples of our local animal friends is not an attractive option.
We sure are good at killing both huge numbers of humans and animals causing many of the mass die -offs you're referencing...
It might not be an attractive offer to you, but I don't want to be here for 75 years as I decline both physically and mentally so some rich asshole can continue to pillage what's left of who I am for a few more pennies.
Have you heard about ants?
I have...
Just the right season to start !foraging@lemm.ee
Rich people. The answer for how things went wrong is always rich people.
The problem is greed, and it's very deeply ingrained in human nature, even if a lot of humans don't have it or control it.
Even collectively as an species we are too greedy.
The good news is there are simple solutions for when people take too much from the commons.
Granted humanity had to work pretty hard to get the planet to grow enough food. A lot of selective breeding went into making the food we eat today what it is, and in order to achieve that you had to invent agriculture and everything that came with it.
I don't agree with anarcho-primitivists, but there's a huge gap between "mmm, those spikes are growing exactly where I threw the husks of the same spikes I foraged" and having to finance a Domino's pizza.
Capitalism is a form of feudalism. A few people own everything and the rest have to work for them or starve. Get caught trying to live off the land that some wealthy prick says he owns, even though he may have never seen it, and you get punished, maybe killed.
Well, back in the day, Grok Mugrock decided he could grow a lot more raspberries if he had plenty of wooden posts to build all the necessary supports required to maximize his productivity. Since Grok spent all his days growing raspberries, what he really needed was to barter resources with Ughugh Buh, who could provide him with all the wooden posts he needed. Problem was, Ughugh had heard this story countless times before, and way too often he would give people wooden posts in hopes of getting produce in return, only to be burnt by low lifes and scam artists. So, Ughugh decided to confer with the electric rocks and determine score for Grok that gives a very general assurance that Grok will pay many raspberry for wood posts. So Ughugh helps Grok, Grok pays back raspberries, and that asshole Goodoo get nothing because he make promise he does not intend to keep. Happy Day until sabertooth kills them all.
God dam I hate these low effort meme reposts.

Credit scores will look like a godsend compared to what's coming in our not-so-distant future
Born too late to buy a house and support a family on a single income. Born to early to experience the perfection of being a crab. Born just in time to finance my rented sleeping pod with credit leveraged against future dream-embedded advertisements for VPNs revenue and die of a seizure because the implant reacted badly to my 51% microplastic brain.
You think food just grows on trees?
When we started doing agriculture it wasn't because we wanted to: we did it kicking and screaming.
So, over a six thousand years span of time, they went from 0% dependent on agriculture to about 60 percent dependent on agriculture.
