  • bro, you have not gotten an answer because every vegan is tired of that question.

    The answer is that you obviously shear the sheep, but don’t force a migrant worker on minimum wage to do it for 12h a day with tight quotas. The problem isn’t the suffering inflicted from sheep existing, but it’s the current conditions where exploiting them is financially viable.

    Take a look at vegan.bingo, I can guarantee whatever further questions you have are thoroughly answered there.












  • to add:
    In Firefox, go to Settings>Search, scroll down and add it to the list of search engines with this url:
    https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?q=%25s

    edit: /?q=%s is the right ending for the url, no idea why it adds a 25 every time I send the text ugh

    That way, you can set it as your browser search engine and use it from your top search bar.




  • If a chicken egg is an egg that hatches into a chicken, then unfertilized chicken eggs would not be chicken eggs. But if you took an alligator egg and transplanted a developing chicken embryo into it, that would become a chicken egg.
    You’d get the heuristic “All chickens have hatched from chicken eggs”, which sounds pretty elegant.

    If a chicken egg is an egg laid by a chicken, then you couldn’t reliably say that a chicken egg hatches into a chicken - the heuristic from before would become “Not all chickens have hatched from chicken eggs”. And that one, while it feels a bit imprecise, might be closer to what we observe in reality, especially with that Proto-chicken argument. So the Proto-chicken would have laid a Proto-chicken egg, which hatched into a chicken, which laid chicken eggs.
    And it would work with the current scientific hijinks like hatching chickens from different eggs or straight from test tubes.




  • Yesterday I woke up and decided to set up a Jellyfin server (never done anything like that before). By the end of the day I had flashed Ubuntu server on a spare notebook and configured the local network so that my household had access to a network folder to put the media in. We already have 250 songs on that thing and it’s working surprisingly well. There is also about 3 m³ of cardboard in my room that I have been procrastinating on taking to the trash bin outside. And the dishwasher has been waiting to be emptied for a good 3 days. oh well
