For what it's worth, it probably won't go extinct. Even if there wasn't a more resistant cultivar, they'd probably just get really expensive. It's still possible to get gros michael and others, just not as easily or for less than $1 USD unless the buyer lives near a plantation.

A walrus typically weighs over 2,000lbs. An outsized one could weigh as much as 3,700. I think it's reasonable to assume that their family of 4 likely weighs over 8,000lbs. I would disregard the weight of supplies and equipment as being negligible, given that Walruses typically don't use much of that. Although, they also usually don't drive vehicles, so perhaps all bets are off at this point.

This is perfect for the NYPD entrapment operations mentioned by another comment under this post. Imagine their surprise when they realize they have ro deal with a urine-soaked wallet now. You'd probably still get arrested for disturbing the peace or indecency or whatever charge that jurisdiction uses to arrest people without an actual cause, but it would be worth it.

It's like a Tolkien-wannabe imagined a bigoted, food-and-sex-based caste system. Just look at the sheer amount of implied lore. It is kinda weird that it ends so abruptly at cokroaches and rats. I would have loved to hear their take on eukaryiotes and prokaryotes. Let's take this down to the origin of all life. What do I have to do as a human to become a bacterium in the next life? How can I be a good bacterium to make sure my soul doesn't dissipate? What if I want to climb back up the hierarchy and take the slip'n slide all the way down again? Do I only get so many rides or is it just limited to however long there's life in the universe?

The intent is to provide workers with a sense of pride and accomplishment for increasing stakeholder value.

As for hours, we selected initial values based upon data from the free market and other adjustments made to milestone rewards before hiring. Among other things, we're looking at average per-worker income earn rates on a daily basis, and we'll be making constant adjustments to ensure that workers have challenges that are compelling, rewarding, and of course attainable via employment.

We appreciate the candid feedback, and the passion the community has put forth around the current topics here on Lemmy, our forums and across numerous social media outlets.

Our team will continue to make changes and monitor community feedback and update everyone as soon and as often as we can.
