Lol

Lmao, did you really just ask someone why they won’t kill themselves if they don’t want to have children?

And you think you respect life. What irony.

So wtf you still doing here if so miserable and zero hope?

What do you think it means when you say this?

Maybe I’m dramatic, but the other day I thought that’s not unlikely that a “western” country will experience a famine in the next 50 years.

Drought and famine are coming for everyone in the next 50 years.

Global freshwater demand will exceed supply 40% by 2030, experts warn

90 per cent of Earth’s topsoil at risk of depletion by 2050

Might want to add resource depletion to your list.

Global freshwater demand will exceed supply 40% by 2030, experts warn and 90 per cent of Earth’s topsoil at risk by 2050

Fresh water is already low in many places and with no water or arable land to grow food in, that’s not a future that anyone is surviving.

Lmao, did you really just tell someone to kill themselves because they don’t want to have children?

And you think you respect life. What irony.

Will you be telling your kids this? That you created them as a sacrifice for a chance at making life better for other people?

It’s right to be alarmed about climate change, there will be serious long-term impacts, but it seems irrational to be completely fatalistic.

Ok, what about when you also factor in resource depletion? Is it right to be fatalistic yet?

Because from where I’m standing, it doesn’t look like there’s much of a future for anything on this planet when Global freshwater demand will exceed supply 40% by 2030, experts warn and 90 per cent of Earth’s topsoil is at risk of depletion by 2050.

How will the billions of children born in this decade, survive in an increasingly polluted and hot future, with no fresh water or arable land?

That edit made me laugh.

You’d want an industrial meat grinder like what they make dog food out of.

I don’t know how well it will hold up but the book Wilt by Tom Sharp covered this in, what I recall being, quite hilarious detail.

Caveat: This book is from the 70’s and a product of its time. While I recall enjoying it when I picked it up (decades later) as a teenager, a comedy about a depressed man who hates his wife and regularly fantasises about killing her, just sounds like misogynistic bullshit to me now, no matter how funny it is. But maybe it holds up somehow, idk.

You’d have about 3 days of quiet contemplation before the dehydration will kill you.

Considering how horrifying the thought of a void is for you, at least you won’t be stuck in there for very long.

Sounds like a great place for meditation.

Pedantic thought experiment side note that is ironically long for a side note:

How is it a void if it contains the ecosystems and consciousness(ess? (Gut biome and the various microscopic skin mites, etc)) of a human body?

That’s a fuck ton of biology, physics, chemistry, philosophy, etc for a space where nothing is supposed to be. Does time also exist there? Because if it didn’t you couldn’t be aware of your self in there, so that would be a problem solved.

If time does exist in this void though, by entering the void you will have changed its nature, it will stop being a void and it starts just being more of you. …And if you still can’t feel anything, I think this is called depression.

What’s the therapeutic equivalent of mining charges?

If it’s not death, that just sounds like the best sleep possible.

Do you have access to a woodchipper?

People who enjoy breaking down and hurting other people.

Wellington NZ during a wind storm. I spent a whole afternoon jumping into the wind and practically floating down the beach, and it’s probably the most fun I’ve ever had sober.

Most of the neopets foods. I haven’t played in years but I still sometimes scroll through jellyneo just browsing the foods and thinking about how interesting and/or delicious it would be to taste all these strange and wonderful things.

Placing anything metal or ceramic on glass makes the most awful noises though, how do you cope with how loud it is?
