Would be interesting to have the opposite, animals bred since opening this page

  Or plants killed since opening this page.

    Or thoughts dying in an empty brain. That would be something.

      I"m assuming you're being sarcastic, but I would love a similar style page showing how many trees are burned and how many fish are harvested vs. how many fish are repopulated. Thinking about memes as living organisms (infomorphic beings?) would be an interesting way to frame cultural decay.

        I wasn't. Plants are clearly important to our well being, more so than animals.

          You are being equidistant. You can't compare the suffering of a pig or a cow with the suffering of a lettuce. Considering we have to eat, we should try to minimize the suffering.

            I'm not, and I can. Just because you choose not to, doesn't mean that I can't. Life is life.

  Presumably the same, within a rounding error.

  Would it be any different? I mean, we breed as much food animals as we slaughter, the only difference is a time lag e.g. today's number of slaughtered chickens should match the the number of chickens bred in March; today's number of bred chickens will be a bit different than today's slaughtered chickens if farmers expect that in June people are going to eat more or less chicken due to Covid or something.
