>>11639155>How?Generalists anon, generalists. Multicellular life on Earth evolved over hundreds of millions of years of the rotational axis being more or less where it is today, which means that a good amount of complex plants and animals are highly adapted to their specific climate conditions. On a world where the degree of axial tilt can vary over a few million years between close to zero and close to 45 degrees, these hyper specialized organisms simply wouldn't evolve in niches where they couldn't be mobile enough to migrate to better areas or simply be generalistic enough to hunker down and survive. In fact, a rapidly changing environment is what lead directly to the evolution of humans from less intelligent apes, because as Africa dried up and we were forced out of the trees, we were also forced to use our brains to think of more efficient and effective ways of gathering food. Fast forward a few hundred thousand years and we're jerking off to giant anime tits on fictional 12 year olds.
I defy anyone to tell me that rats and dandelions could not survive on a planet with a variable climate.
Oh, also, while rotational axis certainly matters a lot for our planet's climate specifically, it'd have less effect the more surface area was covered in water and the denser the atmosphere. For planets orbiting lower mass stars than the Sun, with much shorter years, rotational axis matters even less, because even if it were tilted by 90 degrees the planet would have sunlight falling on every square kilometer of land every few weeks, for a few weeks. Also at some point the tidal effects of the star have the same effect of stabilizing rotational axis anyway, and planets around red dwarf stars locked in 3:2 orbital resonances could end up with a 100 hour long stellar day-night cycle that would be stable for hundreds of billions of years.
Basically stop thinking that having a big moon is the only way to solve the problem, or that the problem would even BE a problem.
