I did some low-effort Googling and now I’m seeing that maybe some sea critters like krill have the highest non-bacteria biomass.

Either way, none of these are beetles!

The world truly belongs to bacteria, and we're just along for the ride.

But biomass shouldn't be relevant here, right? Individual numbers determine how many friends you might potentially have.

Keep arguing folks, i'm learning so much that i never knew i needed to learn. Quickly turning into my favourite community here <3

The takeaway message: to maximize your number of potential friends, focus on making invertebrate friends and don't bother with the few billion humans ;)
