One time I was talking to a friend of my parents (all Christian maga) about Cicada Killer wasps, and how the female is the deadly one that provides for the colony. The response from the friend was, “That’s so backwards to nature!”
Luckily, my mother saw the ignorance and replied with, “How do you think Lions hunt?” That was just as surprising.
The only thing remarkable about humans is our success. We’ve been able to use technology to adapt to and survive in environments far from the ones we evolved in. Otherwise many insect species such as ants have been nearly as successful as humans, inhabiting every continent save Antarctica.
Couldn’t agree more. I even had the comment: “Humans are the weird ones”, but left it out 'cause some people can’t seem to handle that thought.
Some times I think we really are aliens on this world, and we only resemble some things in Earth’s nature because evolution doesn’t like to reinvent the wheel.
ETA: A lesser idea that a lot of people won’t agree with: I really wish Humans would disappear entirely. Into space or from existence, doesn’t matter, just leave Earth alone.
Lemmy gonna downvote. I say what I say because I believe in it. I’m always open to changing my mind. I think a lot of the downvotes I receive are from people who don’t like the implications of what I’m saying but don’t have a pithy response.

Humans are backwards if anything, humans are the invasive species, humans are superior only through war, killing and stealing from others.
Nature is beautiful. The human species is not.
No, humans aren’t weird at all. Read about parasites, River blindness, Surplus killing, Chimpanzee diet (note the abundance of monkeys in their preferred prey).

Don’t fall pray to the lemmy derp culture
Curious what you mean by that?
You left out your comment because people would downvote when its perfectly valid.

Ahh, I guess you’re not wrong. Thanks for clarifying, wasn’t sure if you meant subject matter or something else, glad I asked.
