Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It’s insanely egotistical to think humans could possibly destroy an entire planets worth of life lol. A meteor 200 miles wide impacted the earth at 100 million megatons of impact pressure…the Tsar bomba the biggest nuke ever made is 54 megatons lol. It would take 2 Million Tsar bombas to even match the destruction of that meteor.

I'm tired of refuting that strawman shit. Please stop putting words into my mouth. They taste funky.

You make a strong argument against... something, probably, but I'm not sure why you're posting it here.

Here, let me hold your hand through this one. The meteor is an example of the extreme strength in energy that was exerted on our planet. The force of such a force was about to shake up the planets health shortly. Humanities strongest "machine" is 1/2,000,000 that force.

When humanity slowed down their societies even for a couple weeks (covid) the air pollution dropped so drastically they saw positive air quality in c02.

When the towers fell and all airplanes stopped and we're grounded the same occurred with air quality as with covids air quality change.

The information above are examples of two things...

1.humanity can have a direct impact on the future of our environments.

Humanity is not capable of "destroying" all life on the planet. Even if we drop 2 million nukes, or a 175 mile wide meteor 59,000mph into the surface.

Your original comment was extreme hyperbole. It's not a good start to a conversation about this in a level headed discourse. When you use hyperbole to exclaim an opinion you wind up being overlooked because of how ridiculous your claims may be. It's childish.

Here, I hyperlinked each part of your post to the corresponding fallacy you're attempting.

You do have one line in there that I got nothing on, so... cheers to that. Edit- to be clear, the line above that one isn't itself a fallacy; the hyperlink in that one is to label what the "above examples" amount to.

Fun. I mean really. Lots of fun to be had here. Never mind you are correct. 100%. Good job winning an argument on the Internet to prove how fucked humanity is. Whew, almost got caught being optimistic for a second there. Good thing I have you guys...
