I like to think all the stuff that we think is extinct just learned to avoid humans very well
Mammoths are just in a hole somewhere
A place for optimism, relentless positivity, anti-doomerism, and snuggle sessions.
We're all in this together, and a better world is possible!
This is now also a space for organizing tips for our collective survival as we confront climate change and everything else. Still no doom-posting. We're here to work together, support each other, and boldly face the future.
Rules:
Familiarize yourself with the site-wide Code of Conduct
No doom, no gloom, only bloom. There's plenty of room for doomerism elsewhere. This community is solely for having a positive outlook on the future and spreading good vibes.
Be kind to your fellow users. This also means no arguing in the comm. Arguments and negativity are not conducive to blooming. Constructive discussion is good. No interest-policing. Support your comrades in their joy!
Always share good news. We can't exactly enforce this one, but if you have good news, please share it with us! Keeping happiness and positivity to yourself is the twelfth type of liberalism.

some of them went and got super inbred on an island, but that group died out too
Yooo look at that snoot! I hope they make a comeback with the reintroduction of the fungus resistant hybridized american chestnut
Now that's what I call proboscis vol #65

CUTE <3 Welcome back, little weevil!
That's a snoooooooot if I've ever seen one... booooooooooop!
She's gonna shlorp into that nut
oh boy can't wait to have larvae in all my chestnuts
They just want to be friends!
Just randomly thinking of what a staggering agricultural loss 4 billion nut producing trees represents. JUST in the eastern U.S.? That's insane. That's more than ten trees for every person in the country. Hunger would not exist simply from chestnuts
