  Is kangaroo meat vegan?

  Not strictly speaking, no, but I don’t blame you for eating it.

  Honey can be farmed with almost total freedom for the bees (can be, not necessarily often is)

  This is why I don’t eat honey. The profit motive incentivizes unethical practices, so the logical choice is to deprive that industry of its profits.

  Also, we will never meet the current demand for honey sustainably, so its necessary for some of us to voluntarily go without. I’m more than capable of being one of those people.

  Can honey be produced ethically? Theoretically - but you could say the same for any animal product if you get theoretical enough. The truth is that it frequently isn’t produced ethically, and that’s enough for me to opt out. And I think anyone with the ability to stop consuming animal products ought to do likewise.

  Precisely! I pay for Dropout, but i’m not paying for Netflix.

  And this is what they proudly claim to be serving, the actual portions are smaller and the food is worse. This is the equivalent of the photos mcdonalds takes for their menu.

  These pictures look pretty good for prison food. Source: friends who have been through it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Food served to US service men & women.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What do you think that story is about in the first place? It’s based on a true story, just painted over to seem like fiction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Food served to US service men & women.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Now that’s worth a salute, comrade 🫡

  I hole you’re in a better spot now.

  I mean, yes, gambling is part of the fun XD

  I don’t actually think gambling is the problem, capitalism is. A healthy amount of low-stakes risk taking is a perfectly good activity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨one step closer to 100%'ing life!!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think digitally verifiable ownership could be cool for, like, a digital TCG or something. But you’d need an actual use case for why this ‘ownership’ matters, which just isn’t true of the most noteworthy use of nfts.

  Ghandi wasn’t actually a pacifist, though, it was just a tactic that happened to be expedient at the time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No Enforcement ⚖️⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would run that campaign, and yes it would be extremely dystopian

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I will say that it isn’t usually like this.

  I mean there’s always drama somewhere but this drama is especially big because a LOT of people found out all at once that either:

  1. their content feeds were being censored/manipulated without their knowledge

  Or

  2. They were being shadowbanned (either as an individual or because their home server was censored)

  by a developer who went to some pretty incriminating lengths to obfuscate the censorship he was baking into a tool that lots of people were using.

  Most of the time I look at my memes and the drama passes me right by. It’s there if you look for it, of course, but this particular snafu is a bit of an outlier.

  No, maybe that will activate my trans powers

  I’m incredibly mid at chess. Is it because i’m nonbinary? 🤔

  Congress, probably. Or a roomful of republican politicians and lobbyists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Urine Luck⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Your nostrils, eyes, and ears are also connected to the inner-outside part of your body via the sinuses. So we’re not doughnuts, we’re something much stranger with 8 holes all connected in the middle.

  Urethra and vagina are pockets, not true holes, since they don’t go all the way through.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well you see, uh...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I tend to think if they’re old enough to ask the question they’re old enough to (attempt to) puzzle out the answer. Obviously there can be too much of a good thing, but I think on average most parents hand-hold too much (the ones that aren’t simply neglectful)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well you see, uh...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean I think i’ll be a more gentle mom than that, but essentially, yeah. Kids are actually super great at learning. If they already show interest in something, they just need support and guidance, not someone to do it for them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well you see, uh...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If I were a parent I wouldn’t answer questions like these.

  Instead i’d ask “why do you think it is?” and use that as a teaching moment about how to do research and how to test a hypothesis.

  Oh, yeah, the forces are very intense. But it isn’t at all the same as coming to a complete stop - closer to the water hammer effect if anything (since the air becomes incompressable at those speeds). There’s also a lot of turbulence, vibration, and heat from the drastically increased air resistance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The red bull guy who jumped from space what was going on with his body when him and his suit broke the sound barrier?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The “sound barrier” is not a physical barrier, like a wall. You wouldn’t come to a complete stop. It’s just the point at which you’re moving so fast that the air no longer has time to move out of the way, and so it behaves differently.

  It would be really rough on your body, to be sure, but not as bad as hitting a magic wall that makes you come to a complete stop.

  I’d second this question - I use a lot of bancamp and so far it seems pretty ai-free

  You must be somewhere other than the US. “Jelly” is preserves/jam, not gelatin.

  Entertainers are valuable and skilled workers. They don’t want to have to advertise to make ends meet, that’s just how our economy is right now.

  We tear the whole thing down and start fresh. Outside of that, nothing changes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘I wish I could push ChatGPT off a cliff’: professors scramble to save critical thinking in an age of AI⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Right? The idea of a natural language user interface isn’t a bad one, and I think it will actually have positive impacts in the long run. We’re just running into a “calculator problem” where people think that if you have a calculator you don’t need to understand math.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is #FFFFFF white, but mixing red green and blue paint is black?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A good way to get experience with the subtractive system would be to use watercolors, markers, or dip pens with ink, since those are transparent.

  I suppose that depends on if you have consent 🤷‍♀️
