I like city building games and puzzles. I like other things as well, but that's not important right now.

My fediverse philosophy is that we should avoid emulating the bad and crude aspects of reddit - don't abuse the downvote feature, don't chase 'karma' and don't overuse the word "porn" in subreddit names.

  • isn’t this preferable to just letting the animals just rape each other indiscriminately?

    That's not why people do it though. It is wrong to make up new justifications for actions after the fact. It exists as an industrial process to get animals pregnant more often than they'd naturally choose to.

    isn’t all sex between any two non-human animals rape?

    And no, not all sex between 2 animals is rape. Animals can consent to sex with other members of their species, animals can't consent to sex with other species because of communication differences (the big one being any animal with a human).

    If that’s the case, isn’t this preferable to just letting the animals just rape each other indiscriminately?

    The same way that hunting is more moral than farming, letting animals go at it in a natural way is way better than 1. tricking bulls into ejaculating into tubes and 2. forcibly inseminating cows with that genetic material.

    You need to quantify the rate at which animal rape is occuring to justify using this method on the basis of "preventing rape."

    Also if you sought to prevent any animal rape, you'd have to seperate them all by sex. As far as I know this doesn't generally happen except for their specific breeding season, and it would be cruel to seperate male and female livestock for their entire existence, just as it's cruel to deny them their natural sexual intercourse. Humans aren't supposed to play God with every facet of an animal's life.

  • Veterinary in the sense that "it's a duty a veterinarian might perform do," but in this context it's done to create more animals for us to harvest food from. Because letting them do it at their own rate wasn't fast enough for this industrialised society's appetite.

    It's disingenous to call it a veterinary procedure; we're under no illusions about why this is being done. The cow didn't ask for a bloody sperm donor, lol.

  • idiot

    Don't need to say that

    I think it really depends where you live and what your lifestyle demands of you.

    Where I live, meat is on sale a lot at supermarkets, lots of frozen food meals have meat in, and people might not have time to shop for ingredients or even to cook all the time - which i presume is the key to making veganism cheaper.

    If you want to convicne people veganism is cheaper then you have to unfortunately (for you) "spell it out for them" - e.g give examples of vegan meals against meat meals, tell us where you're shopping.

  • What I don't like about them is that it makes it seem like you've cast your butt in pottery or something, just completely rigidly fixed into that shape. To be fair I also don't find leggings good looking, but they exist also for a functional, exercising purpose, and they're good at that (afaik)

    How could we go about making a jurisdiction where advertising is illegal?

    Jump

  • Maybe - i suppose one way around it is newspapers run by specific organisations or for specific topics. For instance, universities have their own free newspapers, there are newspapers in my city for artists and musicians to share news relevant to their craft and any gigs going on.

    Or you coukd have a completely digital one run by volunteers who have an interest in journalism, websites, and are willing to pitch in a bit. Also they can charge fees for anyone who buys it.

    Could ban ads but allow for "free space" for local businesses to put ad spots or for people to advertise their freelance services or make headhunting requests. Remember how people used to seek dates using newspaper spots? I guess thst's obsolete now. But still.

  • I have heard so many bad things about Eucalyptus trees.

    In fact, the latest bad thing i heard about them was in a koala copypasta submitted to the animal thread from last week, where it was insinuated that the abundance of eucalyptus trees is a large reason why Australia is barren/ecologically weird, due to their very low provision of calories. This obviously will not do. A mammal's main love of trees is their ability to bear fruit.

    Likewise, in California, the mass plantation of Eucalyptus trees led to very severe wildfires in the future (our present day). In part, this is just a debuff of any forest monoculture, but i have similarly heard that they're actually more flammable than many other types of trees. [Edit: while source hunting, it looks like Eucalypti are actually known to BLOW THEMSELVES UP to remove competition. This makes them the suicide bombers of the natural world!!]

    And what really bites the biscuit is that Eucalyptus trees STINK!! Their ultra minty sour fragrance seems so artifical to me - like worn down tyres, melted down and mixed with equal parts of antifreeze. I had the misfortune of trying eucalyptus flavoured chewing gum on a few occasions and it almost killed me. Psychologically. One of the worst things i've ever tasted and smelled. It's like an alien plant trying far too hard to get us to like it.

    An absolute outrage. "look at all those lemmy users having fun! I won't stand for it" ~ the crator, probably.
