Humans are the actual parasite of the world?
We remove any impurities we find in our food and shoo away insects. We act as if everything belongs to us, treating other animals as invaders. Yet, there hasn't been a single day when animals haven't been affected by our actions. Every careless move we make kills the earth just a bit more. I've witnessed how the world began to heal in our absence during COVID. Doesn’t this make us the disease that just won’t stop spreading?

and what are yall gonna do? hope that humans get wiped out one day? an apolocolypse? well you cant control that can you? if and when it happens, itll happen.

Of course, humans do not fit the definition of parasites in a literal sense. But to some extent, they can be called an invasive species. Humans spread across the world rapidly, causing extinctions and habitat destruction, and still are doing so. They are the main drivers of climate change, and they exploit Earth's natural capital for their own gain...... reply
100% agree TT something I want to add is our introduction of species into native ecosystems. Our love for cats has caused mass disruptions to species who cannot outcompete cats for food, and our farming practices (I.e planting crops that are shallow rooted in areas with traditionally deep rooted plants) have caused soil erosion. In our attempts to ...... reply
