movies about apocalypses: it’s every man for himself!! you can’t trust anyone, it’s a wasteland of solo travelers and sad families, we’re alone out here
humans irl: *pack bond with strangers*
*pack bond with large carnivores*
*pack bond with robots in space thousands of miles away*
Apocalypse preppers who fantasise about all our artificial rules and governments falling away in times of chaos seem to forget that we invented those rules and governments. Over and over. When you put humans near each other, they group up and make a society; that’s why those governments exist. Do they think we magically stop doing that in dangerous situations? Because… we don’t.

I once helped a complete stranger care for her infant on a bus ride across two states. We took turns so we both got sleep. We bonded over the fact we were a similar age, sitting next to each other, and both on this ridiculously long bus ride because we were broke. The fact we were different races wasn’t a factor?
Two guys I couldn’t even communicate with because I was in a foreign country and didn’t speak the language once pushed my car out of a snowbank. Another time a bilingual complete stranger helped me catch the right train when I couldn’t read the signs because I didn’t speak the language.
One of my favorite thing I’ve learned about animals studies is that you should avoid using colorful leg bands when you’re banding birds because you can accidentally completely skew the data because female birds prefer males with colorful bands
Apparently if you put a red band on a male red wing blackbird his harem size can double
So like you can completely frick up the natural reproduction of a group of birds by giving a guy a bracelet so stylish that females CANNOT resist him
