2 years agoIf any of you are interested in a book that talks about new bizarre fungi associated with the increasing climate, I really recommend “The Fifth Extinction:An Unnatural History”, by Elizabeth Kolbert.
The book was published back in 2014, but scientists were already seeing similar effects on animals within the amazon. A lot of animals are thought to be at risk of extinction because of fungus associated with rising temperatures. There was a very big focus on amphibians and small animals. I could totally see that trend expanding across more species, especially after nearly another decade.
The customer called it racist. The person you were responding to said that discrimination would be a better descriptor, but also that the customer was still silly for thinking they had a case because of it, regardless of what words the customer used.
It takes a certain kind of person to get upset that a store isn’t treating you like an employee. What’s next, demanding access to the private areas? Wait, people already do that too :(
