Who says I can’t be depressed about both? I can even be depressed about the present for a trifecta.

You could do both, being curled up on the sofa with a sandwich and make the world a little better, by reducing your meat consumption. There are very nice vegetarian/vegan sandwich options.

Even the snails are Illuminati now! /s

Sir, this is a Wendy’s

Might be an AI Bot?!

Just waiting for the definitive edition to release 🤞

Props for putting your question in a comment and not the post body!

The only thing that I can think of right now would be a handheld 3D-Scanner. But I’m not even sure what kind of software would be needed to capture/use the information.

the human population is very much reliant on animal sources to sustain itself

Do you have a source for that? What % of the global meat consumption is actually necessary and what is just for pleasure? And don’t get me started on food waste…

what is required to continue existing as a species

Do you mean scale up as a species? We’ve existed for how many thousands of years in a sustainable way?

the distinctive categories of pets and livestock are an unfortunate requirement of our current situation

A requirement for what? You said we need animals to sustain ourselves. What do we need the distinction of pets for?

People who treat pets animals as property are not good people.

FTFY

I’m not a militant vegan, I do make occasional exemptions for ethically sourced animal products. But the distinction between pets and other animals is just hypocritical.

I guess he’s lucky eggs aren’t affordable. Otherwise people might stock up on them for this occasion.

Since they went extinct they really were in dire need of resurrection.

You know what would help? Steam releasing a console. Valve, please just do what you did with the Steam Deck and put it in a box, offer 2-3 variations of specs and refresh them every 3-5 years.

Weren’t microplastics found in plants already? Take that naturalists!

When using a metal spatula carelessly in a teflon coated pan just isn’t hitting hard enough.

Man, those suits really scream fun don’t they?

Organisms like viruses, bacteria and fungi don’t care about country borders. The US withdrawing from the WHO sadly just means that the world will be less capable in responding to emerging threats overall.

Edit: Still a good joke though ;)

Ah cmon now, stop spreading conspiracy theories. They probably just couldn’t prove citizenship and were deported.

Why is this commentworthy?

Yes, you need internet to use the “smart” features of the TV. No, you don’t need internet to just use the TV. You can connect any device that is supported by the ports on the TV, for example a Raspberry PI with a DOS emulator or for example an Apple TV to replace the “smart” part of the TV.

Giving me news about US “actions”…

You do realize that OPs article is about a US “action”? You’ve now been informed and might be able to take action like voting accordingly, writing to your representatives etc.

Or, as per my initial comment, you could’ve ignored US news and would be none the wiser.

Edit: one more thing, you know the US-made/Tesla boycotts happening all over the world? They’d not be happening if everyone ignored US politics.
