Maybe I'm just like every other generation that came before me but I really think that theres going to be some kind of mass extinction event soon. It just seems like with BILLIONS and BILLIONS of people the probability is so high after a certain amount of time!

Has there been any mass extinction event in the history of life on earth that was caused by an excessive population?

Pretty sure usually when a species reaches its carrying capacity thats not how it works, yes a lot of them die, but the result isn't that their population plummets to zero, its that it caps at the carrying capacity, hence the name. Any more of them and the ecosystem depletes too much to support them all, resulting in a large death toll, resulting in fewer of them being around, resulting in the depleted ecosystem recovering, it's a stable loop that prevents the population from persistently growing any larger, it doesn't just wipe the population out entirely.

overpopulation is a meme lmao

Garlic Salt wish our carrion capacity was more liek 200,000

We have survived as a species for very long time. It does seem that exponentially rising population might become critical st some point, I mean surely there must be a limit to how many can be sustained in terms of food and water and such. But I hope that "necessity breeds invention" holds true and some solution is found before it all goes tits up. Unfortunately, that solution might mean a drastic change is necessary, such as a culling or restrictions on reproduction etc.

The world would have to be a very empty place for that to be true

it wipes out anyone that doesn't have money to escape

So s4s is doomed

yes, the internet will be going down when such a scenario starts to take place
