Oh really?

Then let's accelerate climate change. I won't let those green fuckers win

That's right! Besides food, clothing, housing, tools, weapons, erosion control, and beauty, what have the plants ever done for us?

Medicine. A lot of plants are used in medicine as well. Asprin came from tree bark.

Okay. Food, clothing, housing, tools, weapons, erosion control, beauty, oxygen, and medicine. But other than that, what have the plants ever done for us?

Yeah but they do them for the wrong reasons. If you were a slave and your master gave u food, clothe and housing would you think "wow what a wonderful master, I'm gonna work extra hard for them"? Well its like that but with the plants. They are enslaving us and we can't just let them get away with it. /s

I'm Jewish, so unfortunately, Kanye has already taken me to death con 5. But I'm not sure if those are related.

Actually Kanye took you to Death con 3, then admitted he chose the because he couldn’t remember if 5 or 1 was the worst one.

Won’t the extra CO2 just help the heartier plants (weeds) take over?
