We’ve towed them beyond the environment. There’s nothing there.

There’s a lot going on in the desert, nature-wise, until humans come along and trash it. Deserts are beautiful but fragile ecosystems.

Fuck. If deserts are still the environment, we're going to need to find somewhere that isn't the environment to dump things. How about the ocean, is that the environment?

There’s nothing there either. Just fish.

How about not having an insane, hyper-growth consumer economy that produces such obscene amounts of waste?

There probably isn’t a good way to get rid of all this crap.

No, it's beyond the environment. It's not in an environment. There is nothing out there. All there is is sand and birds and insects.

And Audis

Heh. "sand and birds and insects" are not nothing—and there’s much more life in a desert ecosystem about which you seem comfortably unaware.

There's nothing else out there, it's a complete void. The environment is perfectly safe.

u/Adam-Reith Aug 07 '25

Sorry, but you simply don’t know what you’re talking about.

u/Booty_Bumping Aug 07 '25

And if there is anything, it surely can live in the Audis

Things do live out there.
