274. I'm going to put it in perspective for you people.



"During lag phase, bacteria adapt themselves to growth conditions. It is the period where the individual bacteria are maturing and not yet able to divide.

During the exponential phase, the number of new bacteria appearing per unit time is proportional to the present population. This gives rise to the classic exponential growth curve, in which the logarithm of the population density rises linearly with time (see figure). The actual rate of this growth (i.e. the slope of the line in the figure) depends upon the growth conditions, which affect the frequency of cell division events and the probability of both daughter cells surviving. Exponential growth cannot continue indefinitely, however, because the medium is soon depleted of nutrients.

During stationary phase, the growth rate slows as a result of nutrient depletion and accumulation of toxic products. This phase is reached as the bacteria begin to exhaust the resources that are available to them.

At death phase, bacteria run out of nutrients and die."

From Wikipedia "Bacterial Growth".



See this? This is what is goig to happen to us. This is what is going to happen all the precious children you have. They are all going to starve, or die in resource wars. Unfortunately, there is no way to stop it.

It happens in EVERY case where there is exponential growth. And unlike other animals, we can't just move to another environment. THERE IS NO OTHER FUCKING ENVIRONMENT.

Either we, or our children, or our grandchildren, are going to starve to death because we have no control. All of our fucking reason, all of our fucking techonology, and all of our fucking "intelligence" isn't going to mean ANYTHING, because we have to many goddamn baby factories out there.
