One of these is so far removed from where my personal feelings stand on what is right, that I simply cannot condone that type of behavior!

I mean really??? Just NOT eat meat every monday??? No thanks. If anything I'd rather have cannibal mondays. Where we eat the corpses of all the billionaires we'll be killing. No sense in letting that meat go to waste!

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 37 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Meat is back on the menu, boyz!

[–] Prathas@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That Lord of the Rings quote had massive implications of Orc society:

  1. Orcs could be (and were) vegetarian
  2. Orcs have menus, a.k.a. restaurants and civilization
  3. There could be boy orcs instead of ones formed as adults (though to be fair, the movie showed only an Uruk-Hai "formed," from what I can remember)

Furthermore, from the orcs enthusiastic reaction to meat's reappearance on the menu, we can surmise that orcs were formerly omnivorous and were forced into a vegetarian diet for unknown reasons.

You know you can just compost it, no need to eat something bad for you.

don't eat junk food! instead, compost and eat the veggies.

Shameless vegan plug

No sense in letting perfectly good plants that can meet all our needs go to waste!

So, yes make EVERY day meatless

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Your just trying to shill for big ai. By cutting meat we could shift MORE water to data centers!

Ok it's really just beef basically every other live stock uses fuck all more water then stable vegan crops. It's like 10-15% compared to beefs like fucking 100%+

Seriously fuck beef uses a lot of water! The poor data centers need it!

[–] Resonosity@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

I know you jest, but a sustainable future really does look vegan

AND. NO. A. I.

We can do both ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Recycle as the last step before reusing what you can and reducing your consumption. For example, instead of buying a new 2 liter of coke, wash out your old bottle and fill it up at a McDonald's soda fountain with better mixed coke. 😌

[–] bonsai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Reducing our consumption is part of the third panel ;)

When your guillotine gets chipped and dull, don't throw it away! Sharpen it, and continue using it!

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

or not.

I'm okay with taking multiple tries.

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 5 points 1 week ago

Alternatively, add more weight to the blade!

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Reduce

Reuse

Recycle

In that order.

[–] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I recycle but my garbage company puts recycles together with the trash it seems when they pick it up

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

If I recall, it's like the majority of all recycling in United States isn't real recycling since almost all plastics. Even ones with the recycling logo aren't actually recyclable. It's like 2 out of 10 types of plastics are some nonsense.

Recycling in the grand scheme of things does f*** all into nothing. There's a reason it's the lesser of all of the r's. Reducing and reusing are the actually useful to recycling. Might as well be f****** pointless.

If we shifted back to glass bottles for everything, paper for everything, recycling could be somewhat useful but so long as we mainly use plastics recycling is just trash. It's it's pointless.

There's a reason why the vast majority of the US celebrated when one millionaire, mass-murdering piece of refuse was gunned down in the street.

Imagine the party that would erupt if it were one of Donald's golf buddies.

That bicycle is so cursed.

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That bike looks like what someone who's never ridden a bike thinks a bike looks like.

Are we sure it's not ai?

Of those things, only one will reliably work though.

Plastic recycling is a scam, otherwise perfect.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How did we get lumbered with that chud of a packaging material.

Glass: rinse me out, use me again. 💪

Metal: melt me down, good as new. 💪

Plastic: I can't be shredded and turned into road surfaces without my lid...

[–] Stabbitha@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Money. It's the consequence of living in a system that prioritizes profit over humanity and environment. Metal is expensive, glass is heavy and doubles shipping costs. So we created a cheap, non-renewable non-recyclable material that we can use once then bury in the ground (or simply create random environmental disasters) for future generations to deal with. Profit today, consequences tomorrow.

Every healthy society needs a robust guillotine repair and maintenance workforce.

[–] MithranArkanere@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (4 children)

A lot of people are seem to be fans of murder.

Personally, I see it as a waste. I'm partial to creating a project to establish a mining colony in the asteroid belt, and sending them there, never to return.

[–] musubibreakfast@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The thing that a lot of people forget about the French revolution is that much of the same ruling class stayed in power and it was mostly common people that got the guillotine under the guise of revolution. If we were to establish a mining colony, Trump and JD Vance might get sent to space but the same institutions and practices would stay in place under a different name because I assume we'd be mining for profit. Let's find a way instead to dismantle capitalism.

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

What a lot of people also forget is that the french revolution resulted in an absolutist dictatorship. It took a few revolutions and centuries to get France into a somewhat democratic shape.

The issue here is that a revolution requires a strong leadership that is fast, decisive, and unquestioned. Good revolutionary leaders rarely make for good democratic leaders who voluntarily step aside to let the people choose another leader.

If the french revolution were to happen in the 21st century USA, it would be much more likely to be done by white supremacists or some other exteme radical group than by anyone non-radical, and chances are that the US would end up with a totalitarian regime afterwards that would make the orange clown and his gang look like school kids.

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Costs too much.

Could instead be turned into Soylent Green. Or fertilizer.

I agree with the intent of this 100%

I tend to think the people who might not don’t have a clear understanding of what “for profit” means. My dad heard “for profit” and goes “yeah, that’s a good thing. I work for a profit too”

We need some clearer way to express “exploitative and extractive profit”

When my local mom n pop shop makes a profit, it’s so they can maybe expand their menu or open another location across town. Maybe send their kids to college. Or even buy a summer home, extravagant for most but still pretty reasonable. When ketamine king makes a profit, it’s by exploiting millions so he can feel like the worlds most special little guy and light another 5 years of global breathable air on fire in the process.

We don't need a different work, we need people to learn what they mean.

Your father does not make profit, he makes a salary/wage. Profit is the surplus revenue after expenses.

Hmmm doing 3 of the 4. Doesn't seem to work. It's time for the 4th one?

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Yeah, I think I should really take recycling more seriously too.
