Unprecedented 2023@breadandcircuses Because it is sad.

Giridhar@breadandcircuses point the finger wherever you want. We are all guilty. Nobody cares enough. It will happen someday. We really donโt care. And before someone starts a refutal, remember that you are using a phone or computer, none produced in an environment friendly way.
Queen of Teacups@gir1dhar @breadandcircuses Many of us *do* care. I am using a phone, yes, but that does not absolve Exxon of its culpability nor mitigate the degree of its culpability. If it had not funded misinformation there would have been commercial pressure to minimise environmental damage as we advanced into the computer age.
PS What you are trying to do is called in Scotland " whatabooterie". Otherwise known as distraction.

@JMacfie @breadandcircuses im not doing whataboutism. What im doing is mea culpa. There is a big difference. Im watching my part in the process.

I like the sound of "whatabooterie" more than "whataboutism."

@TappinLisa rhymes with another lovely Scots word that always makes me smile - "sitooterie". A place where you sit outside. ๐

Mary M. Redoutey@breadandcircuses It is more pathetic than funny... Filled with pathos about the world then and now.
Migrated to @@breadandcircuses Youโre probably crying because the dinosaurs in the comic are very dear to this comic series public and have been for a while, and this strip implies their death. While the dinosaurs ending in real life is well-known, we never expected to see the dinosaurs on the series die. Seeing characters dear to you die can make you sad, and therefore can make you cry.
yofluke@breadandcircuses pretty much all their comics are fantastic.

michi@breadandcircuses Don't Look Up on Netflix sums this up nicely.
Siue Allen@breadandcircuses I know exactly how you feel, Exxon knew in the 70s that burning fossil fuels would destroy our climate but they kept quiet. Greed over planet.

hello_cerise@@breadandcircuses Your bio. I was an undergrad in ecology in the late 90s and saw how inevitable and depressing it was and how selfish people were. It's why I didn't go into the field, but went into genetics, then dropped out, and I regret it because I still cared way more about climate than medicine.
@breadandcircuses
But somewhere in the past five years I've gotten less depressed about it, I think because more people in the general public seem to care. I guess I feel that a lot is inevitable but it's still worthwhile to fight against it.

myrmepropagandistNow I want a movie about an intelligent dinosaur civilization that is aware of the the catastrophe, debates and stalls, then at last, tries at the very last moment desperately to do something --and fails.
Then at the end they suppose that future life will *at least* remember them: but of course we don't-- all their tech was made of organics, and worked in ways we don't recognize now.

The Ending To The 90s Sitcom Dinosaurs Was Depressing As Hell
@grumpasaurus underrated show tbh.
@futurebird GOTTA LOVE ME
llewelly@futurebird @breadandcircuses
in the 1980s, Harry Harrison wrote a series in which a civilization of intelligent mosasaurs (but, oddly more like amphibians rather than reptiles) develops tech, cities, etc, based on organics and genetically modified creatures. Submarines are genetically modified Ichthyosaurs, buildings are genetically modified trees, video cameras are genetically modified frogs, and so on. Unfortunately, the intelligent mosasaurs are the villains.

Henk Broeders@breadandcircuses because we do not use our intellect to mitigatie climate change?
DeusCheesy. How could the dinos have prevented that? Itโs one of those, โ..so unfunny that itโs funnyโ :D
