Yeah, they reigned the earth for over 100 million years. I'll stay drug free, thank you.

[-] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yeah, they dominated the planet for almost 200 million years.

Fuck coffee.

[-] ladicius@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Humans dominate the planet for 50.000 years now, and look how shite the biosphere is doing.

We will not make it any longer.

[-] ObtuseDoorFrame@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

I love how obtuse you are. Absolutely demented, made me smile.

[-] snooggums@piefed.world 5 points 1 week ago

They still dominate the planet. Which other animal has species on every single continent?

[-] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 4 points 1 week ago

Rats, humans, lichens, moss, cockroaches, โ€ฆ

[-] snooggums@piefed.world 3 points 1 week ago

Humans have an outpost, comparable to a space station. There are no rats on antarctica. The other things you mentioned are not animals.

Rats in Antarctica within the last decade, they have an embassy at the human outpost

Cockroach Kingdom: Animalia

Fair on lichen, which are just weird , and moss be plants

Fuck coffee.

Coffee plants feels the same about us. Caffeine is a pesticide from the plant. Same with the spicy molecule in pepers. Humans are so fucked up we crave that shit. Dinosaurs were smart enough not to eat that. Clearly there's no hope for humanity, we won't even make a single million years.

Ooooh!
Based on this idea:
Cavemen / Neanderthals never heard (of) Metal!

They only had Rock

[-] WillieShen@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

turn out that they get eaten by humans nowadays

[-] wyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago

Or, made into fuel, children's toys, and let's not forget the, um, adult items they're essential to (so far). ๐Ÿง๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Fossil fuels are the plants that didn't get eaten up by then yet nonexistent fungi.
Not dinosaurs.

Oh! I was under the impression that petroleum wasn't picky. ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ™‡๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

[-] webp@mander.xyz 7 points 1 week ago

They never had meth either

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Well, that may work out better

[-] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago

But also, they turned out fine. One of them is right outside my window eating suet at this very moment.

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

So if I don't start drinking coffee I'll get hit by a meteor?

[-] ladicius@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

New Mexico will. Is that what you want?

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

... a little

[-] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

Actually, I'm curious if the coffee plant had evolved by then. Thinking not.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 1 week ago

Drink coffee or a meteor will fuck up Earth again.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

in the futurama episode they did.

[-] Zerush@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

Without coffee the world is going to stop dead

[-] bedwyr@piefed.ca 1 points 1 week ago

Did you know they spray pfas on the inside of those paper coffee cups?

That's bad by the way.
