That's right! Besides food, clothing, housing, tools, weapons, erosion control, and beauty, what have the plants ever done for us?
Medicine. A lot of plants are used in medicine as well. Asprin came from tree bark.
Okay. Food, clothing, housing, tools, weapons, erosion control, beauty, oxygen, and medicine. But other than that, what have the plants ever done for us?
Also oxygen..
They literally just fucking sit there, I've seen Jumanji I know what they could do, they just choose not to

That's too slow. Take us to defcon one.
I'm Jewish, so unfortunately, Kanye has already taken me to death con 5. But I'm not sure if those are related.
Actually Kanye took you to Death con 3, then admitted he chose the because he couldn’t remember if 5 or 1 was the worst one.
Won’t the extra CO2 just help the heartier plants (weeds) take over?
The common, did we domesticate XYZ, or did XYZ domesticate us? Conundrum.
Myc is the real death dinner monster. When everything dies, it'll be them that don't and then eat everyone else's of whatever's left.

Oof! Cool perspective
Yup, bury me in a burlap sack in a deciduous forest.
Why deciduous? Because fuck pine trees, that's why. I don't want to feed those assholes.
Wouldn't fungus be more immediately interested in being among us?
Symbiosis
This is my tune, not only biocentric, but also a very healthy dose of anti-anthropocentric. A species traitor, if you allow me to be as bold.
I really don't think that talk about humans being the god on earth, center of the universe, with a metaphysical excuse to exploit everything around us is doing wonders to our health nor long term survival... And obviously the "sapiens" of our epithet is only there because we gave it ourselves chef's kiss
It's also a very Buddhist outlook. Not because of anything specifically antihuman or pro ecology but simply because we as humans are part of a cycle that lives and dies. We don't have a say.
You could say our karma is that we will be too proud and be too exceptionalist and end it all earlier than expected because we couldn't come together and take care of the earth.
It sucks but the earth will go on for a few more billion years without us.

Jokes on them, we’re going to put carbon into the atmosphere faster than they can process it raising the global temperature to the point of extinction
Cue music: "It's the circle of life"
This is why I don't eat edibles lol.
Eukaryotes likely evolved during The Great Oxidation Event which saw oxygen levels rise to levels that were toxic to the Cyanobacteria (which use photosynthesis). We evolved to save them!
And yet we're here for it:-)
We all give back in the end one way or another.
I wanna fukken die, free my soul, the plants can have my body
The image won't render :(

The primordial soup developed animal life to reproduce itself. We are all basically the reproductive stage for crap.
It's mutually beneficial gardening.
Oh yeah plants? Eat my ass!
