  • Oh wow so cool and edgy.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_extinct_bird_species_since_1500

    About 129 species of birds have become extinct since 1500,[1] and the rate of extinction seems to be increasing.

    It's tragic. People get up in arms about tomato soup on famous paintings ... this is even worse because every species taken out of the ecosystem is a lost node in a complex web that sustains us, lost species represent a loss of learning about the world we live in. There are so many interesting behaviors, chemical pathways, beautiful animals, who are going to be gone forever.

  • I 💯 support work from home and understand it's benefits ... but at the same time, when I work from home I find myself way more depressed and less connected than when I go into the office. I enjoy my work and like my coworkers, which I know is not the case for everyone. I wish that affordable housing was pushed as a way to promote working in the office, rather than just banning WFH. It's nice to have the choice, people should be able to afford to live near their work.

  • Y'all are making a joke out of this headline but it really sucks

    But he was quick to raise a far more dire possibility: that the drones could prompt a stress response in some birds that causes them to flee the beach and abandon their eggs, as several thousand elegant terns did following a recent drone crash in San Diego.

    It's honestly so horrible that this was approved. Drones are banned in National Parks for a reason. Birds have very few beach areas left where they can nest.

  • I mean, yes this is cool ... but they need to be getting at the root causes.

    Idk much about the specific situation other than quick wiki read, but sounds like poaching and deforestation are the main culprits. Yes this is an important step, but conservation needs to include protection of their habitat if this is going to be sustainable and not just a project to keep pandolins in zoos. Fuck the charismatic megafauna approach... stop destroying the habitats. Relieve economic pressure on citizens to help prevent poaching, and invest in strong systems of accountability and prevention.

  • If you think I am embarrassed by people downvoting me on the forum with the worst community I have yet seen, no. lol. I go here for news stories, the community (you) sucks ass. Way too liberal (derogatory).

  • It's not really an escalation, more like a, fuck off I'm not interested in engaging in a debate with citations. Anyone else can provide any evidence one way or the other if they would like to. I am using Lemmy casually atm and a well researched comment takes quite a while, don't want to do it rn
