Fair enough. The way people are treating me for advocating against the destruction of nature is fucking disgusting. People are taking your point to mean that it’s totally fine to trample meadows because worms will fix it and I’m an asshole for saying anything negative about this person fucking up a meadow for a photo.

Ugh. Sometimes Lemmy is exactly like reddit.

You are a piece of shit.

The level of cope people will produce in order to refute my request to not destroy fragile meadows is nuts. I thought I was being polite. And I’m right.

Once the meadow is trampled and the soil is compacted, and all the native flowers are gone, go ahead and plant some plantains there up on that mountain in the compacted soil. Problem solved?

No, earthworms cannot undo the damage from soil compression caused by humans. There are ancient trails that have been found by archaeologists that haven’t been used in thousands of years and yet are still compressed. Human foot traffic is incredibly destructive.

The rule for hiking is that you hike and camp on durable surfaces only. Meadows are extremely fragile. There are visible rocks in this photo right behind this person, which they could be walking on. This is a selfish thing to do.

If you come to the Cascades in Washington, please don’t stand in our meadows like this. These plants do NOT survive being stepped on and you’re compressing the soil, preventing regrowth. If everyone walks in the meadows they will vanish forever. There is no natural mechanism to uncompress soil.

I never understood why people are annoyed by tourists until I moved to the mountains…

Are you suggesting 14,000 > 34,000?

Dogs can see better at night than they can during the day. A head lamp makes it more difficult to poop at night.

And honestly, I’ve seen people with headlamps in lighting conditions where the head lamp wasn’t needed to see if they would just allow their eyes to adjust to the darkness, which their lamp makes impossible. People use technology even when it hinders them, just because they can.

Cute pic though!

This is murder with extra steps. The genocide has already started. I genuinely thought we had more time before it started…
