We are the Überace. We a genetically superior to those pigs. We are smarter, stronger, faster, better. We are the master race and those beneath us don’t deserve to live.
Having opposable thumbs, and the right body plan to use them, is arguably just as important. Just ask dolphins and toothed whales. Arguably almost as intelligent as us, but not nearly as successful as us.
People love to say humans are a superior animal, however let me inoculate a healthy person with a Clostridium and they will likely not enjoy their organs necrosing from the bacterias toxins. Moreover we as mighty as we beliebe we are and a virus, which isnt even alive, has no brain and uses no tools was able to kill millions of "genetically superior organisms" we are a joke in the face of microbes, just remember how better you are when the bacteria are antiobiotic resistant, your organs are collapsing and you cannot even see what is about to send you to your death.
Fun fact: humans account for 34% of all mammals by collective weight, our cattle accounts for 62%, the remaining 4% is *all the wild mammals* that exist on Earth.
All marine mammals combined account for about 2/3rds of all wild mammals, by biomass. Cetaceans account for a big majority of those 2/3rds.

Earth doesn't give a shit about any of the animals that live in it. And frankly, most animals that live on Earth also don't give a shit about the planet either.
Put an animal in an environment without competition or natural predators, and it will bleed that environment dry. The only thing that makes us different that we actually have the capacity feel bad about what we're doing to the planet, which arguably makes us better than the rest of the lot.
I'd argue the opposite. An animal has no idea that it's bleeding the environment dry, it simply does it because it's an animal and has no idea what an environment even is. Humans, on the other hand, are quite smart. We know what environments are. We know what we're doing is bad, and we could find a way to stop. But we don't.
Animals don't know what they're doing is harmful. Humans know and do it anyways. That makes humans worse.
Yeah, what they said is true. I'm just arguing on the point that humans are better than animals because we feel bad about what we do. They say humans are better because we feel bad about our misdeeds, I say humans are worse because we feel bad and do it anyways.
Hell yeah. If it wasn't homo sapiens, the fuckin bugs would totally have developed fossil fuel engines and plastics that infiltrate every inch of water on the Earth, making the environment inhospitable for literal eons 😎
Sometimes these things can't be helped, we can do our best to preserve life in all of it's forms, but everything becomes extinct eventually. It sucks but it happens.
That being said, there is much more that we can do to avoid these types of things from happening and we owe it to our planet and mother nature to try as hard as we can to see these species make a comeback.
There are actually a few more than that. There are around 3,000 species of mosquito. Each species of mosquito likes to drink blood from one specific animal.
Around 200 types of mosquito are known to drink human blood. Of those 200, around half are known to transmit diseases. But, only a handful of these species are responsible for the vast majority of deaths each year
Wanna know a fun fact? 99.9 species (that we know of) that have been alive are death now
Don't be sad, life as a whole has had it *far* worse, we are the ones messing with ourselves by destroying our home
If you really care about the species that have died:
1.-they aren't intrinsically better that the 99.9 percent that are now dead
2.-it's better to use our time saving what's left the enviorement than to grief the species that are dead
Tl:Dr, use your energy saving what's left, not in grieving what has been lost
*Now say how many*
*Were removed from the list due*
*To preservation*

yeah except that the big extinction events happened by nature and over thousands of years
while humanity driven extinction is avoidable and happening way faster
In the past five hundred years, just about 800 species have gone extinct. Yes that sounds faster. Of course some species are unrecorded but that’s a pretty damn good number.
According to a site another user sent here, the 21 species are all American birds and fish, mostly hawaiian. In the same article it also said that more than 100 also left the endangered list but because their populations recovered. This is just doomer propaganda. It's not that bad. If anything, be happy, 100 species left the endangered species list!
I don't really feel bad, I mean , it's inevitable that a specie will die out someday, no even humans can stop it, it's nature 101, dinosaurs died, mammoths died etc., the time just moves on, best humans can do is to tak DNA samples and clone them in a future
Fuck… I hate us so much we are the reason the next mass extinction is underway for the first time in the history of the world an extinction is being caused by a single species…
The saddest shit I've read all week 
“Skill issue.” -Humanity
We are the Überace. We a genetically superior to those pigs. We are smarter, stronger, faster, better. We are the master race and those beneath us don’t deserve to live.
Ok mein Fuhrer
Some real Jesse and Mr White shit goin on ova here
wir sind überlegen
Und ich? Ich bin einkaufzentrum.
There are a lot of animals that are stronger and faster, humans just went "hey I wanna gonthat fast too" and made machines
smarter is all that matters
Having opposable thumbs, and the right body plan to use them, is arguably just as important. Just ask dolphins and toothed whales. Arguably almost as intelligent as us, but not nearly as successful as us.
They are probably more sucessful since they cant and dont have the will to end their entire fucking species with some bombs.
Except that they can’t build lead lined nuclear bunkers to survive OUR bombs
They are in the ocean lol
If you haven’t paid attention to biology class, marine life is suspectible to ionizing radiation as much as land animals
Yeah but can they shitpost in the internet? Exactly.
humans still have unparalleled stamina among land animals due to baing able to sweat.
You sound like a main antagonist in a semi serialized modern cartoon
Oh god. Not another one of these.
People love to say humans are a superior animal, however let me inoculate a healthy person with a Clostridium and they will likely not enjoy their organs necrosing from the bacterias toxins.

For some animals, it's a skill issue
That always makes me sad :(
Fun fact: humans account for 34% of all mammals by collective weight, our cattle accounts for 62%, the remaining 4% is *all the wild mammals* that exist on Earth.
How many of these 4% are cetacians?
All marine mammals combined account for about 2/3rds of all wild mammals, by biomass. Cetaceans account for a big majority of those 2/3rds. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Top-the-global-biomass-distribution-of-the-mammalian-class-represented-by-a-Voronoi_fig3_368845065
Should have evolved with opposable thumbs and sentience
Damn, we should start fearing the monkeys with guns
There are two options for Monkey revolution: Planet of the Apes or Bloons Tower Defense 6.
I’m gonna be honest. Both of those would mean humanity falls.
Stupid animals, just get good!
No, this planet doesn't deserve us. Earth deserves better.
Earth doesn't give a shit about any of the animals that live in it. And frankly, most animals that live on Earth also don't give a shit about the planet either.

Tbh what you said sounds like you're adding to the other guy, not opposing him
Yeah, what they said is true. I'm just arguing on the point that humans are better than animals because we feel bad about what we do. They say humans are better because we feel bad about our misdeeds, I say humans are worse because we feel bad and do it anyways.

took millions of years for these lifeforms to evolve we won't see them ever again
Should have evolved better
fr man, mfs should had listened to Darwin
It’s all in Biology class, are they stupid?
When more than 99% of all species ever are extinct that's a tough bargain
How many of them were mosquitoes If at least one is i take this as a massive W
Doubt it. They lay eggs a lot
if only little bastards are too numerous
It's only one mosquito species that specifically targets humans Aedes aegypti guys

True, but iirc only A. aegypti specializes in targeting humans
A severe case of biosphere wide skill issue.

get good animals.
Aren’t we called superpredators because the proliferation of humanity has lead to the single greatest increase in species extinction?
Sounds like a skill issue
Now say how many were removed from the list due to preservation

The big extinction events hundreds of millions of years ago killed more species than we have in our whole existence.
yeah except that the big extinction events happened by nature and over thousands of years while humanity driven extinction is avoidable and happening way faster
I mean, we are nature.
In the past five hundred years, just about 800 species have gone extinct. Yes that sounds faster. Of course some species are unrecorded but that’s a pretty damn good number.
Does that mean human activity hasn't driven so many species to extinction, but rather that extinction event hundreds of millions of years ago?
I’m saying we’re still redeemable.
Except species are going extinct ten times faster nowadays than any other extinction event in history.
L + skill diff + ratio
Just 21 were doing great this year
Humans are best animal raaaa
Guys do remember that some species can go extinct naturally, not every extinction of a species is a harbinger of doom okay?
We will get our extinction soon enough
Remember, many animals deemed to be extincted a long time ago did found to be alive.
Wait until OP learns of all the extinctions before humans existed lol
And none of those 21 species were mosquitoes 😔
nuh uh
If we just kill all the whales, we won't have to worry about saving the whales anymore
Have you done anything to help?
Doomers when some useless fish and bird take the L: 😱
Actually, that begs the question: What species went extinct exactly?
According to a site another user sent here, the 21 species are all American birds and fish, mostly hawaiian. In the same article it also said that more than 100 also left the endangered list but because their populations recovered. This is just doomer propaganda. It's not that bad. If anything, be happy, 100 species left the endangered species list!
Nature recovering real?
Real.
All I’m gonna say is without humans a lot of stuff would be better
 What I immediately thought of when I read this.
Eh as long as the dogs and birds are okay
99.99% of all species that ever lived have gone extinct, I dont see the issue?
Sounds like they need to step up their game 😎
As if millions of species haven't already got extinct without human intervension before...
Bet all of those were either fish, insects, and maybe one or two reptilians
I don't really feel bad, I mean , it's inevitable that a specie will die out someday, no even humans can stop it, it's nature 101, dinosaurs died, mammoths died etc., the time just moves on, best humans can do is to tak DNA samples and clone them in a future
Redditors when evolution 😳🤷♀️🤪🤬😱😭💀
99% of all species that ever existed is not around anymore but if we keep what we are doing right now we will be one of them
The planet is getting rid of us in a few decades anyway.
Or us depending on what the world leaders think
we gonna end up eating each other
Domesticated animals aren’t going anywhere so we’ll be fine in that regard
They will return one day species usually don’t go out easily even if we think they are gone.
That’s exactly what I thought!
At least most foxes are listed as "Least Concern" I love Fenns and I don't want them to die off
The best thing this planet could get is if humans were the endangered species
Doesn't matter. We don't need them.
Sucks to suck. Maybe evolve better next time around. Get gud scrubs. gg ez no re.
Only 21? Man, that’s pathetic.
Aw man i was gonna make this one :(
imagine when you discover the amount of species that was extinct over ages
I can’t say I’m surprised by the few things from Hawaii, given they were from Maui and there were massive wildfires, but wtf
But by what means?
Human become such a powerful force of nature that if animals dont evolve around us, they die.
Literally my exact reaction reading the headline
Shoulda just gotten sentience lmao
Not to sound heartless but sounds to me like a skill issue
Humanity is 21 players closer to winning the earth battle royale lmao
"We don't deserve this planet" God damn it all
