I'll do you one better: don't have kids!

[-] rayyy@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

Maybe Vote for candidates who won't FORCE people, and children, to have babies.

My trick is to not live in America

[-] rentar42@kbin.social 6 points 11 months ago

And if that's not enough, then at least there won't be any humans around to suffer through it!

But you're fighting against a fundamental urge of life here ... kinda hard to achieve that at a large scale. At least that's why I tell myself and my kid.

[-] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 5 points 11 months ago

Yea, you're absolutely right. Humans are just animals in the end. Tho it is important to remember that your impact is absolutely microscopic, and even if 95% of people suddenly had the willingness, income and ability to make such changes to their life..

..there would still be a market for it, and we'd barely make a dent in the problem. Big corporations and billionaires are so much worse

Yeah... after having a child we needed to double the size of our trashcan just because of diapers.

What else were they going to use all those diapers for?

Lmao, wow. That's bleak. I hope you tell your kid this, they're going to be living through collapse and you forced them into this because of fucking FOMO and peer pressure.

Yo here's some fun links from the World Economic Forum and United Nations for you:
Global freshwater demand will exceed supply 40% by 2030 and 90% of global top soil and arable land is at risk of depletion by 2050.

I hope you're proud of yourself.

you're spreading eugenicist propaganda and you should stop.

[-] Locrin@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

It was a joke you ham-sandwich. I and my wife wanted a family. Now we do. And so far it’s going quite well so I will take my chances. :)

[-] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 1 points 11 months ago

Dayum, and the smell of that must be horrid

[-] Locrin@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Not really. We have one of those smell free diaper cans. They close after you put something in them.

malthusianism is gross.
