“Remove the label”

Hoss, we’re in a Wayfair 3 piece faux leather sectional.

Let that poor mouse go. He has stories to tell his friends.

Why wouldn’t you fight against animal cruelty?

I’m afraid I’m going to need a better argument than “I support killing animals because it makes me feel good.”

/But hardware stores don’t want to sell it tooooo youuu…/

I won’t speak for other vegans, but my research into beekeeping and honey production turned me against the industry for the following reasons:

• Beekeepers will commonly clip the wings of queens to keep them from swarming or leaving.
• Semen is commonly extracted from bees by crushing them.
• Honey taken from hives is commonly replaced with a nutrient-devoid sugar solution, affecting the health of the bees.
• Selective breeding of honeybees has made them more susceptible to diseases which can also affect native insects.
• Honeybees have been shown to cause serious disruptions to plant-pollinator networks, putting local pollinators at great risk.

The Lemmy equivalent of a “subreddit” is called a “community”.

Here’s a table of markdown formatting that Lemmy supports. Unfortunately, not every Lemmy client supports all of the formatting, meaning some people may still see the spoiler regardless.

I run but never leave your sight.
You can follow me if you think you’re right.
Hold me closed to alter your voice.
You may pick me, but I’m yours without choice.

Oh, you’re talking about Targ the Ruthless! That dude is a beast!

Dried prunes, apples and pears have, I believe, the highest poop to volume ratio of any food.

Just be careful you don’t accidentally connect your earbuds to it.

Skeet? Really? Lil Jon’s “Get Low” came out 22 years ago.

Now if they had said “Skibidi” that would be a different story.

Can you share the source for this chart? It doesn’t list whether this is for a specific country, region or global.

The chart also considers protein supply for this reason.

It’s extremely rare that grazing land is used for anything else. In fact, over half of tropical deforestation is done to create pasture land for cattle.

“Crop residues” or “crop seconds” only account for about a quarter of global animal feed, and the grain fed to cattle in the US alone could feed a billion people.

Please don’t present this as the norm for animal agriculture, as it’s disingenuous at best. The rare instances where this occurs are far outweighed by the habitable land use that animal agriculture accounts for globally. And even in the countries you call out, such as New Zealand, factory farming is on the rise, and pigs are almost exclusively factory farmed.
