Animal husbandry doesn’t require fossil fuels. We’ve only been doing it for tens of thousands of years before fossil fuels were ever extracted or used. Separation achieved and it was easy.

Livestock is typically kept on marginal land that’s unsuitable for most crops. If you manage livestock correctly you don’t need to feed them anything, they’ll go find their own food. If you’re really smart you put them to work for you. This is something they call permaculture. Or regenerative farming.

No, again. If you know what you’re doing then you are not going to be poisoning the groundwater.

Global warming is almost entirely due to fossil fuel usage. Again we were raising animals tens of thousands of years without any global warming. When did global warming start happening? When we started burning fossil fuels. Do you not understand this? Do you disagree?

And again tens of thousands of years we raised animals and (excessive) greenhouse gas emissions were not a problem. That started happening when we started burning fossil fuels. You seriously don’t get this? Do you work for big oil or something? You can’t be serious…?

I’m not sure what you don’t understand? Is it the water cycle? Nitrogen cycles? Carbon cycles? Methane cycles? The difference between extracting things that were sequestered for hundreds of millions of years? Versus not doing that?!

Again, for tens of thousands of years all animals on Earth ate only what was on the surface of Earth. Fertilized with what’s only on surface of the Earth. Whatever gases they burped out or farted or whatever… They went into the atmosphere for a short while. Methane will react with hydroxyl radicals and turn into CO2 and water vapor over time(within a decade.) Which is plant food! Thus completing the cycle! Plants don’t want Brawndo. They want to dig their roots into organic matter that’s been broken down into rich soil, and they want some water and they want to inhale CO2 and exhale oxygen while enjoying a sun bath. Thus photosynthesis. Surely you follow?

Their pees and poops didn’t accumulate because we didn’t concentrate them in feed lots. Instead they’d walk around and they would spread that wonderful fertilizer without the human having to do any of that work themselves(and it is hard work). That’s because we were good shepherds. We aren’t good shepherds anymore… And for some of us I guess we forgot or we never knew any better. But that’s a pretty shitty excuse because we have libraries and the internet and ultimately humanity does know better. It’s just not as easy. It’s not as convenient. It’s not as exploitable in terms of capitaHELLism.

That’s the problem with the world these days. You can’t beat mother nature at her own game. But somehow you think you can?

So what’s your solution to deal with all the livestock? Eating them is not the problem. Them existing would be the problem. So I guess your solution is to kill them all? Should they go fully extinct or do you want to keep a few around to put in a zoo?

When you dig up the sequestered remains of plants and animals that have died and accumulated over hundreds of millions of years and then we take that and then we burn about 100 million barrels of oil every single God damn day… That was previously sequestered deep in mother Earth for hundreds of millions of years… That’s a ‘cycle’ that’s going to take hundreds of millions of years to correct, potentially. That’s a really really really really big problem… Conservation of matter and energy, and all.

That looks like aluminum…

Don’t smoke out of aluminum.

Good things come to those who wait.

You can be anything you want.

You just need to claim that you’re disabled. You don’t need proof or be getting SSDI/disability. This also means no work requirements.

That’s the only exemption left. Homeless? Veteran? Homeless veteran? You don’t qualify…

I hear crucifixion is nice this time of year.

If you’re going to make him a martyr you might as well do it right.

And Molotov cocktails

Phase-Order Candy Prism.

Picture a small edible prism made of ultra-thin layers of sugar glass and gelatinized starch, but the trick is in the internal structure of each layer contains flavor “micro-reservoirs” embedded in lipid membranes tuned to dissolve at different osmotic thresholds, not time.

Find equally awkward friends.

Wow… That’s… Delusional.

Fossil fuels dominate. It’s not even remotely close. Especially if you think about what leaded gas did to the boomers and the silent generation and gen X. And lead poisoning is something that tends to rub off on the next generation.

I’m thinking the oligarchs are cool with massive depopulation of poors. That seems to be the plan, imo.

Many embrace being a “trad wife,” short for traditional wife. There’s also TERFs.

Just go to your nearest Pentecostal and/or Evangelical Church and you’re going to find a congregation full of such women (and men.) These people make up about a third to maybe a half of Trump’s base. Warning: they mostly all openly hate lgbtq, and they’ll do it from the podium to a cheering congregation. If you’re any sort of ‘out of the closet’ I do not suggest going.

There’s also this company called Barna research. They’re the biggest religious research institution in the world. And they also own a ton of companies (subsidiaries). Some of which produce these weekly planners for churches of all sorts of denominations. They are remarkably similar in their talking points over every Sunday in the year - all 52 of them.

It’s almost prophetic how relevant they can be (probably due to the prevalence)… Very conservative/traditional messaging. Very doom and gloom - that the end is coming, and the world’s going to shit. Very anti-progressive/anti-socialism even anti-Jesus’ teachings! And it’s the same core messaging and talking points whether it’s a Lutheran Church or Catholic Church or whatever…

Inertia.

Bets on polymarket are largely favoring the strait will return to normal flow by the end of June.

Trump is deploying 15,000 additional troops…

Pretty relatable.

Yeah soldiers do things that if ordinary people did them they would be crimes.

I still don’t know what the hell your point is.

Some teenager was getting too close to JD Vance’s motorcade is what the news here said. He’s been hospitalized and is stable.

I give Iran a month, tops. Trump going to get in there one way or another, as one does.

Hopefully a hell of a lot worse. Hopefully so bad people can’t afford gasoline. Imagine the fresh air. Looking forward to it.

What about the sewage of billions of people?

It’s like people talk about cows and their 50 kg/head/yr of methane they burp up. And sure there’s a billion cows! That’s 50 million metric tons! The sky is falling everybody!

Wait…

How about the 8 billion people with their four metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions every year? That’s 32 billion metric tons.

I’m afraid human hubris beats cow gas by three orders of magnitude.

The downfall of civilization will be civilization itself.

That’s a secret Christian nationalist commandment: thou shalt starve the brown people.

Tiny penis syndrome.
