We absolutely could help by not fucking spreading an invasive predator to every corner of this globe just because we find them cute. That’s morally reprehensible considering how dangerous cats are to local fauna:

https://www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.1602480113

“Introduced rodents and cats are major agents of extinction, collectively being listed as causal factors in 44% of modern bird, mammal, and reptile species extinctions.”

That’s honestly an awful comparison. Wild predators don’t consume more than the environment can sustain, domestic cats represent either an artificial demand for farmed meat, which is bad for the environment, or they hunt themselves which is awful for the environment as well as they’re an invasive species everywhere and already the cause of dozens of extinctions.

Everyone obviously already gets that

The first comment of this chain literally says:

easily prevent all the damage to the local environment by just keeping your cat inside.

So no, mybe it’s not obvious for everyone and maybe even obvious things need to be said occasionally for oblivious folks.

As opposed to 2001 I understood Interstellar, which means it must be worse

Enlightened take

Rocky Horror “so bad it’s good”!?

I’ve never been this offended by xkcd
