Bacteria multiply crazy fast… as long as the food source was uninterrupted I’d almost guarantee you most people’s microbiome would be fully recovered in just a few hours and they’d not even notice.
It depends on how the snap worked. It was 50% of all life in the universe. Was that 50% of every species? Or just 50% of all living things? If it’s the latter it’s possible some species were missed entirely while others were completely wiped out.
But no one lost 50% of their own cells, so clearly if it’s alive and can be classified as a single organism. Is the gut micro biome an independent body of organisms, or is it just like any other organ of the human body, and thus would have been unaffected by the snap?
Either everyone lost almost exactly 50% of their gut biome, or, about half of all living organisms lost 100% of it, or, no one lost any part of it. Those are the only three possibilities.
The more interesting question is were viruses affected? Or did the magic stones not consider them life?
Our doubling time isn’t that bad either. We reached 4 billion in 1970s. If we round up the current population to 8 billion that’s about 50 years. That’s all that thanos would add by the snap. Even less probably because we have better medicine now so it would be easier to reach that number.
I kind of expect developed countries would maintain the current trend of being slightly below replacement value. Probably depends on the psychological impact of the snap. People tend to have fewer children when they know the ones they have are safe.
It kind of sucks infrastructurally for sure. I dunno. I’ve had the thought that at least if I could go over and harvest some of it then that might at least make it a little less stomach-churning, ironically, but that’s kind of my weird instinct.
From my experience, the animals are more the stupid ones that jump out in front of the car unexpectedly. I once tried to dodge a raccoon but every time I swerved a direction, it followed me and then jumped towards my car last second :/
It’s easy to get all sympathetic with a mammal that has a face, but insects? Have you seen an insects face? No thanks.
Cute animal = aww don’t kill it so we can live
Insect = they can all die for all I care
vegans, probably.
… And don’t at me about how many there are or anything. Or that they don’t suffer like mammals do… The biomass of cows alone outweighs humans, and I’m sure chickens aren’t far behind. I’m also certain that there’s been studies showing that insects react to stimulus, and we have just as much information about their experience of pain as we do for animals. Quiet.
To be fair, a lot of vegans have made that choice because of how animals suffer in factory farms. That’s valid and I won’t debate it; but you’re probably not crying over dead bugs. So this really isn’t aimed at you. You’re good. Your reasons are valid. I’m not a vegan but I can recognise that the treatment of animals in factory farming needs to be improved. At the same time, I have accepted that Bessie tastes really good in spite of how she was treated. I made my choice. I live with that.
If you’re ever looking for cheap jewelry/earrings, you should be very very careful.
CTV Marketplace did an investigation a few years ago, and they found that a lot of children’s jewelry contained high levels of lead and/or cadmium. These pieces were found in multiple places, including Claires and H&M. Some children’s makeup was also contaminated.
That’s correct. It’s the ‘Berlin’ riot police(for demos etc), they are shipped in from other cities because locals don’t like to hit locals, but Bavarians love hitting leftist Berlin scum climate activists. dumbest mfs you’ll meet.
