    People underestimate just how many animals are bred for meat. I often wonder what impact it would have on the environment if humans suddenly disappeared, and all these farm animals escaped.

      Even if you stretched one cow into a bunch of burgers

      lmao, I think you’re overestimating this guy, he hasn’t even figured out that you can get more than one burger out of a cow.

      Probably some significant environmental fallout from that alone as a final legacy of humanity… maybe some nuclear accidents if you time it right

        How automated are the fail saves in these reactors really? I would assume a good number of them would eventually melt down and without anyone there to stop that from going on, you’re looking at a bunch of Chernobyls, continuously spewing out irradiated particles.
