  One thing I will note about generative AI images is the use weird color gradients so it would be really obnoxious to cover over the text and have it not look like shit

  Claiming that all textiles should be derived exclusively from plants oversimplifies the ecological tradeoffs involved. Animal fibers, particularly wool, are not a major driver of environmental harm compared to many common alternatives.

  Wool production relies on sheep that have been selectively bred over centuries to continuously grow fleece. For most modern breeds, regular shearing is not optional; without it, the animals are at risk of heat stress, impaired mobility, skin infections, and parasitic infestations. Shearing itself is not inherently harmful when done correctly and is a routine husbandry practice required for animal welfare rather than an exploitative excess.

  There are documented cases of escaped domestic sheep accumulating extreme amounts of fleece over time, resulting in serious health detriment for the animal. These cases illustrate that wool removal is not merely convenient for humans but necessary for animals that can no longer self-regulate their coats in the wild.

  From a materials perspective, wool has several environmental advantages. It is biodegradable, long lasting, naturally insulating, odor-resistant, and flame retardant without chemical treatment. In contrast, most synthetic textiles shed microplastics during washing and wear, contributing persistently to aquatic and terrestrial pollution. Even plant based fibers often require intensive land use, water consumption, pesticides, and chemical processing, particularly for crops like cotton.

  This of course does not mean wool production is impact free. Poor land management, overgrazing, and methane emissions are real concerns and should be addressed through better agricultural practices rather than ignored. However, when evaluated relative to synthetic textiles and many industrial plant fibers, responsibly produced wool is among the lower-impact options available for clothing. I read that bamboo fiber actually takes an immense amount of water to produce for example.

  The broader point I’m trying to establish is that ecological harm is not determined solely by whether a fiber is animal or plant derived.

  Durability, biodegradability, land use, chemical inputs, and pollution across the full lifecycle matter more than origin alone. A blanket rejection of animal fibers risks replacing a relatively low-impact material with alternatives that cause greater long-term environmental damage.

  I’m terribly sorry but boneless wings are dog s***, regular wings or bust. Boneless wings are basically just chicken nuggets but somehow worse.

  This reminds me of how my speakers work.

  I have a 3.5mm jack for my speakers that converts to an RCA jack at the end, I also have T-intersection that goes between an amplifier and the RCA jack to intercept the signal and send it BACK to a set of desktop speakers.

  Why? Bootleg surround sound, I know it’s just stereo, but hey, more speakers! Also it sounds better, and it can get louder.

  A reminder and suggestion to down vote any AI slop images and block the account so we can all collectively see less of this shit as time goes on.

  I tried productive bees, made them a little garden area in my base. And they just don’t seem to do anything and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I captured some end bees and they just disappeared while I was away, coooool

  I fuckin hate this mod I have no idea what I’m doing wrong and the tutorial videos are not helpful.

  I wouldn’t be caught dead ordering food from a service like uber eats. The amount of distress that you would have to inflict upon me for me to even consider Uber Eats would be insane.

  Purchasing a meal from ubereats means suffering an obscene markup that means it will always make more sense for me to go myself.

  Here’s a hypothetical scenario to illustrate:

  In-store price for a meal: $20

  On Uber Eats:

  Restaurant might mark it up 15-30% → $23-$26 just for the food, that’s not so bad, buuuut…

  Plus delivery fee (say $4) + service fee (say $3) + tip (say $3) → total $33-$36

  That means you’re paying ~60-80% more than going to the restaurant or picking up.

  In some cases (especially for smaller meals or chain fast-food), the total jump can exceed 100% more just because you don’t want to drive ten minutes down the road.
