A planet is a pen without fences. You just have to expand your perspective. You’ve obviously never interacted with a farmer in your life if you’ve never heard them brag about how many animals they have on the property. And those are just the ones they can count. Im sure some crazy farmer somewhere in India would be mad proud of how many rats he’s got running around. They’re holy in certain parts.

The pic says “of all the mammals on earth”. It’s exactly as i said with the pen, just scaled up to a 3d spherical planetary sized pen. The numbers I’m talking about don’t change.

There are WAY more rats than cows. Period. They’re on every continent except Antarctica, and there might be some weird subterranean prehistoric voles huddled around a hydrothermal vent pool or some shit.

OP just needs to add a qualifier to the graphic. Anything along the lines of “with respect to biomass” right at the start

Okay, so you have 240 rats and one cow in a pen on a farm. How many mammals are in the pen?

This survey would answer that the pen is 90% cow and 10% rat by weight, therefore there are 9 times as many cows as there are rats.

In reality land, where the rest of us live, we would say that there are 241 mammals in the pen and only 1 of them is a cow.

You see why I’m calling bullshit by the way this is worded?

Well thats not what the infographic says. It specifies “mammals”, not “mammals by weight”.

OK so how many tons of cow are accounted for by whales?

Or does the survey cherry pick land animals too?

Source?

Im gonna go out on a limb and say this is udder cowshit. Rats are mammals, as are raccoons, squirrels, and whole fucking masses of little basically unfarmable varmints. You’re telling me that there’s like 12 farm cows for every wild rat on earth?

Horse. Shit.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Well and the amazing sloppy toppy pudding poppy.

“I see what he’s worried about” they mumble around a mouthful of profit oriented testicles.

Nissan does this too. I leased a new Kicks when they came out and HATED it. Seats were terrible, car was underpowered, and some jackass decided to program the cvt to “shift” because Nissan got complaints that the car was stuck in gear. Just learn how a CVT works.

Anyways, 4 years later, I still get emails about monthly maintenance work, tow alarms, and tracking updates. I never asked for them to begin with and I guess I’m stuck with it as a VW guy now.
