    😭 the only thing worse than an animal going extinct, is being the last member of the species who still has a life left to live. Jesus, that’s some profoundly, cosmically depressing shit. And I’m not sure if it’s better or worse for the animal to be aware that it’s the last of its kind. Fruitlessly calling for a mate, or knowing there’s no point bothering.

    Pointlessly gendered, but at the same time, what’s an alternative to this template for this meme?

      It is not necessarily saying only men find this sad, just that most men don’t care about the Titanic movie. But as far as an alternative template, the Mr. Incredible one might have worked.

    Bird: “WHERE IS EVERYBODY?”

      Man that bird was living a straight up nightmare.

      And from the comments I saw it gets worse for this bird - apparently after the bird flew off, the scientist who captured this call played it back to check they had recorded it properly, only for the bird to come back and start calling again.

      These scientists accidentally played the cruelest prank imaginable on this poor bird, and it was likely not smart enough to ever realise it.

      Like imagine living years of your life desperately calling out to someone, anyone, and you finally hear someone - you desperately rush over, but there’s there’s nobody there. You’re sure you heard someone, but there’s nothing, except you.

        That’s like the time researchers were monitoring elephants after a member died.

        A researcher once played a recording of an elephant who had died. The sound was coming from a speaker hidden in a thicket. The family went wild calling, looking all around. The dead elephant’s daughter called for days afterward. The researchers never again did such a thing.

        Animals grieve over the lost connections just like we do.

        You just basically summarized the experience of people deconverting from fundamentalist Christianity.

        This could be a great short film, with the footage and story at the end, Twilight Zone style.

      Oh no, no way. I’m not clicking that.
      I’m having a bad enough day, I don’t want to add existential crisis to the list.

    Monogamy = extinction. No wonder humans cheat

      More like having your habitat invaded and destroyed equals extention. Penguins and swans mate for life, as well as a plethora of other critters, and they’re fine. Just say you got a wander dick.

      No, humans were the cause for their extinction:

      "The species became extinct from a large range of problems, including mosquito-transmitted diseases, introduction of mammalian predators, and deforestation. "

      I agree. I hate monogamy and traditional families. Cheating, cucking and orgies should be mainstream.

      What even makes you think they were? Aren’t singing birds as a general rule polygamous?
