#overpopulation

Let’s all collectively turn gay to fix the overpopulation crisis

Giving birth makes you an abuser.

So ofc overpopulation has made some pretty obvious changes to the world in the last century (well obvious to anyone not intent on ignoring it) but what I think is really interesting/depressing is how different my life is from someone a century ago, solely on the basis of there just being a shitload more people. Even in my short life I've noticed the changes soaring population has caused. There are less wild animals, I haven't heard cicadas in years, now when I do see a koala, a kangaroo, hell even a rat, I'm aware that my species outnumbers theirs. I go out to country towns, I spend a lot of time in remote areas, and people are always so friendly simply because they don't see too many people. That used to be a thing Australia wide, but now even the 'outback wave' is dying and you only get it on truly remote dirt roads. There are the big things like climate change, wage stagnation, dwindling resources. But the little things really make you think.
