Hey, it’s great you contemplated my point this much, I do not expect this when arguing online :) While I would prefer there to be less animal suffering, I don’t think demand for meat is going away anytime soon, but I think it is realistic for lab grown meat to replace actually raising the entire cow in the not too distant future, making this discussion finally obsolete. In the sequel to Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy there are actually some form of livestock that actively want to be eaten and even recommend which parts of them are most delicious. The Matrix comparison is great as well, I did not think of that yet.

I have heard that argument for animal husbandry, but in today’s world the comfortable environment is provided to only a tiny fraction of livestock. If I had the choice to either be a random pig or chicken nowadays, or just nothingness, I rather not exist at all. What’s the point of living 3 times longer when you hardly have enough space to even turn around and stand in your own shit? If anything, the longer life span makes it worse.
Welp, exactly. Fixed it.
And especially the French, who just barely did not elect a fascist very recently, must be really behind Harris

There seems to be a fan at the top. It’s a weird layout regardless.

49·2 years agoNo no, that would be absurd. You’ll also be turned away if you are not on the list if you’re unlucky.
Come on this is not complicated. To imagine electron spin, think of a ball that is rotating. The election is the ball, except it’s not really a ball, and it’s not rotating either.

Ah my bad, I did not see the comment had a picture attached. There’s probably a mathematical way to derive the shape of the euthanasia coaster as well, but I don’t know.
It’s the Weierstrass function, a function that is continuous but not differentiable anywhere.

Technology@lemmy.world•Can an online library of classic video games ever be legal?
15·2 years agoIt can, if some laws are changed. Which is possible, although the largest video game producers will probably raise hell to not release any control they have.
I am not expecting every person on earth to stop consuming meat immediately. If some people in Mongolia have some cows and sheep on their farm, sure, that is already so much better than factory farming. Factory farming makes up about 90% percent of worldwide meat production, and that is the main thing people are talking about when discussing meat production. Factory farming is responsible for massive ecological damage due to animal waste, ie their shit and cows farting methane, on top of being extremely cruel. And then there is the overabundance of antibiotics used to keep the animals somewhat healthy (“healthy” is really a stretch here), which helps diseases build immunities to those antibiotics.
As for cost, meat is heavily subsidized (at least where I live), so we are all paying part of the cost for it through taxes. It is not as cheap as you might think when seeing it in a supermarket.
As for stopping exploitation of animals, that will never happen. It’s wishful thinking.
That’s just baseless conjecture, just because you lack the imagination to think of a world without or at the very least way less exploitation does not mean it cannot be achieved. And I’d rather have little exploitation than a lot, it’s not a binary choice between “changing nothing” and “completely removing exploitation, which is impossible, so let’s just do nothing”.
There is a difference between not doing something that is purely done for enjoyment (eating meat, you can live perfectly fine and be healthy without) and not taking medication. Additionally, vegans want to stop exploiting animals for human benefit, so they are in favor of not doing animal testing anyways.
Consciousness and conscience are not the same thing, this naming is horrible
Of course not only women are sexually assaulted, but it happens to them a lot more often, to the point that a good amount of women have some story to tell about it while for men it’s rather unusual. That’s not to say that sexual assault of men should not be taken seriously, but I don’t think the comic makes that statement.

I wish, but I don’t see it happening. Most people are just content with seeing ads absolutely everywhere, I just don’t get it.
