Why don't we all just put each other on IGNORE?

Then we'd all be ignore-ant.

I can go with that. I'd rather be ignore-ant than, well, let's just say more of a jerk than I am now.

FYI Everything you touch, smell, drink, eat (organic 100% natural or anything) is made op of 100% Chemicals.
That 100% pure water you're drinking? It's a Chemical.

It is ironic that someone so opposed to chemicals would be using a device whose very existence is wholly dependent upon the discovery, via science, of those chemicals, their extraction and processing, via science, their incorporation in microprocessors, whose function was discovered via science. As Spock would say "It's not logical Captain."

And yes, the capricious and exploitative consumption of substantive quantities of di-hydrous oxide with non-linear bond angle goes on unabated.

Even more immediately, they still continue to consume the chemical diatomic oxygen with its linear molecular form.

And season their food with, what, the explosive
combustion product of an extremely corrosive /
toxic metal and WW1 era poison gas.

Just read the msds safety overview!

Good science did not ,would never, develop such
a grim and unnatural chemical. Shame, and fie!!!

Aww, adorable.

Here is a graph (or maybe heatmap) of Koala population probabilities directly from the article that you posted, cos graphs are cool.

To tourists unfamiliar with koalas they can make terrifying sounds.
As a fun fact in the film Jurassic Park koala sounds were used for the T-Rex.

Wow, this is awesome, and kinda freaky. Never knew that koalas growled, and never knew that the koala growl was sampled for the Jurassic Park movie. We learn something every day.
