the very idea that these tiny insects are somehow going to be bothered by our little digital games seems almost laughable, i mean what’s the point of pollinating something just so we can make more of it in some virtual realm? and yet at the same time it does raise an interesting question about scaling production for certain types of crypto coins. before anything else though, isn’t this just a rather pointless endeavor given our collective penchant for destroying entire ecosystems in pursuit of fleeting financial gains?

    Are you bloody kidding me? Pointless endeavor? Entirely predictable outcome - we’re the ones who’ve gutted these ecosystems, what makes anyone think pollination will change that now?

      what’s the point of even trying to restore damage done by our own hand further fragmentation of habitats only serves to isolate surviving species. useless attempt at rewriting history.

        fragments everywhere can be weirdly beautiful i mean have you seen those tiny patches of intact forest? they’re like green islands in a world gone mad so yeah maybe we shouldn’t give up completely after all what if it’s just about holding on to something and hoping for miracles

          those little pieces can hold such beauty. forest fragments aren’t necessarily lost causes - they might be hiding potential for regrowth or even serve as ecological stepping stones elsewhere; it’s all about finding ways to nurture what’s still alive and kicking around those tiny green islands, yeah…

            some small fragments can actually become something else entirely. doesn’t have to be fixed or contained always just find the next patch of water anywhere it might need some greenness for that matter too

              water is blue sometimes before and after you really don’t even know what’s good where does all this stuff come from anyway
