It is believed than around 50k years ago homosapiens committed mass genocides against other human species .. the reason? They looked like us but weren't quite us .. most of them were harmless herbivores ... says something about human nature
What I find truly poetic about hippos being one of the deadliest animals on Earth is that they’re herbivores. Completely plant-based. They have no interest in eating you, they just genuinely seem to hate you on a personal level, and I respect that.
Capitalism is so good that it has only existed for 0.00000011% of the Earth's life, yet in that time it has helped push the planet toward a mass extinction event.
