Upon further investigation, it appears that only SOME species of fireflies are at risk of extinction. Others are so common they are of “least concern”.

If foreign propaganda bots are bombarding us with doomer memes to instill apathy and depression in the younger generation, this fits.

Wikipedia says the species near me (southern Ontario) are of Least Concern for extinction:

I don’t understand how Reddit is still alive when they’ve made it impossible for regular human beings to post to it.

The only people willing to go through the effort anymore are the people being paid to.

This is like the time Bernadette Nere turned out to be a real person.

99% of those comments are either state propaganda bots or corporate marketing bots anyway.

OP should have posted that instead of this weird fascist 3rd party.

Should probably stick to better sources like that in the future. How did you end up on the Gray Zone in the first place?

Hmm…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grayzone#Reporting_and_reception

The Grayzone’s news content is generally considered to be fringe,[16][2][17][18] and the website maintains a pro-Kremlin editorial line,[26][49] centered around an opposition to the foreign policy of the United States and a desire for a multipolar world.[2] The site has been criticized for defending Russia and other authoritarian regimes.[2][20][39][42][50] In Reorienting Hong Kong’s Resistance: Leftism, Decoloniality, and Internationalism, The Grayzone was described as “known for misleading reporting in the service of authoritarian states”.[25] Nerma Jelacic, writing in the Index on Censorship, described The Grayzone as “a Kremlin-connected online outlet that pushes pro-Russian conspiracy theories and genocide denial.”[51] In 2019, The Grayzone had claimed the Commission for International Justice and Accountability, of which Jelacic is a director, collaborated with ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra affiliates.[51]

I’m gonna assume the headline is a lie.

Yeah but also, Whole Foods and Amazon and other companies absolutely are doing this. They’d be stupid not to. The companies that aren’t paying for spam bots online will go out of business soon.

Every time I go to the grocery store, I notice the Tazo Tea shelf, and every single one is in stock except for the “Calm” one.

Yeah but so is North Korea. Plutonium, that is, not uranium, but still. Who cares? Could you imagine if South Korea just randomly started bombing their “nuclear engineers” + civilians and then US piped in?

No because Kim said nice words to Trump and wrote him a love letter.

I saw bats. Like that guy from bat country. Hunter Gatherer.

Facebook has been advertising scams and bogus health products to me for a while now.

“You keep your wives in cupboard.”

“It’s not a cupboard!”

Lovin Spoonful wrote a song about it in 1968:

Why must every generation think their folks are square? And no matter where their heads are they know mom’s ain’t there 'Cause I swore when I was small that I’d remember when I knew what’s wrong with them

Determined to remember all the cardinal rules Like sun showers are legal grounds for cuttin’ school I know I have forgotten maybe one or two And I hope that I recall them all before the baby’s due And I know he’ll have a question or two

Like “Hey, pop, can I go ride my zoom? It goes two hundred miles an hour suspended on balloons And can I put a droplet of this new stuff on my tongue, and imagine frothing dragons while you sit and wreck your lungs?” And I must be permissive, understanding of the younger generation.

And "Hey, pop, my girlfriend’s only three She’s got her own videophone, and she’s takin’ LSD And now that we’re best friends, she wants to give a bit to me But what’s the matter, daddy? How come you’re turnin’ green? Can it be that you can’t live up to your dreams?

I’m convinced the whole “your computer will instantly turn into a botnet that cripples children’s hospitals the moment you disable Windows Update” thing is part of Microsoft’s internet propaganda.

Like there are sysadmins for pretty big industries that schedule updates, sometimes once a month or even less frequently. Why aren’t they worried about all the 0-day remote code execution exploits that supposedly exist every single day?

Why doesn’t China, North Korea’s biggest trading partner, pressure them to be less authoritarian?

They’re definitely among the worst.
