  Look up “pink tax” and “gender pay gap”.

  Me talking at dinner: “Will you pass me the peas?” Cut to 5 people confused about whether I mean just one of them or if I want the whole table to all hand me the peas.

  I get why they/them can be confusing because of the plural thing, but we are used to a quirky language. With a little practice, the tone and context clear up nearly all confusion. The rest is as easy or hard as what we have to do with an ambiguous “you.”

  PS Sorry to the “yous/yous guys” people. I am not trying to turn a blind eye to you obviously superior usage. It just really ruins my point.

  Their point is that if plants can suffer, and assuming we still want to eat, less plants die or are maimed on a vegan diet than on an omnivorous diet because livestock eats plants too and the conversion to meat is inefficient.

  That means vegan diet is the way for less plant suffering even though you eat them directly. In fact it is because you would eat them directly.

  I love seeing the concept that people come up with for eternal motion. It is great that this video leads with them being bunk, but I wish they had shown some of the complex machines that don't have constant external input.

  Also, we're not taking the extremely long lasting batteries apart because we want to see exactly how long they last? What if that would've been the leap we needed in battery tech that we needed 50 years ago? What if it is still applicable? Seems silly to leave it unexplored just to keep an experiment going since the result could be essential to the survival of our species.

  Yep, or vaccination was too slow to stop the spread and we should try to do better. Y'know whatever fits what you already believe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you ever pooped outside?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  I work in remote areas, sometimes for days on end. Yes. I have pooped outside.

  This is a great one. I worked with a guy who worked all year gathering, gardening, hunting, and putting things up so that he could try to go the whole month of January on only that for him and his family. He never quite made it, but it was very impressive anyway.
