Good on you perhaps for injecting a lighter note, but I'd personally rather that these very upsetting events retain their gravity and perhaps shock us into action.
Case in point the Australian bush fires earlier this year.
Half a billion or so dead animals and millions of hectares of habitat burned to a crisp.
But cue happy news stories about someone rescuing a koala and feeding it milk from a baby bottle - something that makes absolutely not one jot of difference to the massive death and devastation contributed to by our (humans) shitty environmental stewarding.
- pengaru 6y agoDid we read the same article? The cause isn't known yet. I'm not in favor of "shocking us into action" when we're not even informed of what it is we're acting on. Quick, act! Sign this petition banning dihydrogen monoxide!

- pengaru 6y ago> Any action is better than diluting the discussion with irrelevant information At least you're aware enough of how embarrassingly dumb your comments are to use a throwaway account.
- throwaway384629 6y agoIts even more dumb of you to think that i created a throwaway account just to reply to you!
- dorkwood 6y agoWhat if the action causes harm?
- rkhassen9 6y agoWhat about action to figure out what happened?
