Deep insecurity.

They see others doing the right thing & that makes them doubt their entire "purpose" or world view.

Chicken sashimi is a delicacy in Japan, and so easy to prep at home! Just leave your chicken breast out until it assumes room temperature, slice into thin strips, and serve over rice or with seaweed!

The best way to consume raw chicken is in cocktail form, specifically the pollo colada. It's like a piña colada, except you substitute raw chicken for the pineapple.

Oh god, I fucked myself up with some drunkenly not-grilled-right chicken a couple weeks ago, still not in the mood for chicken lol.

That’s also really weird because when I was growing up cigs and coffee, at the same time, was like an inner city liberal stereotype.

Combined with H5N1... thy won't be missed.

You forgot the one about gas stoves in homes.

To be fair, there are so many examples of this lately, it's impossible to keep track of them all.

I said it a million times, if Obama simply came out in favor of lowering the minimum wage then we'd all have six figure salaries.

Humans are famously garbage at comprehending statistics, and most Darwin Award winning conservative behaviors are born of it.

Take any mundane thing that was part of a status quo of a previous era in recent memory. Anything at all. Research comes out suggesting that thing has a small, but non-negligible risk to be quite harmful. So we collectively shift to a new behavior that tries to eliminate the risk. A shift that, in most sane and civil peoples' opinions, is so unobtrusively small that any theoretical benefit we're trading away is probably well worth the risk elimination.

But oh, a certain group of people will bitch and moan and scream and piss all over themselves in rage over how you dared to take away something so integral to their culture and lifestyle! The risk aversion is never worth the vain fringe benefit of whatever perceived quality was lost because the risk is completely invisible until it actually hits them personally.

Milk used to taste so great! God's gift to the world! Then we all started boiling it and now it tastes worse! And for what? Because a couple of weak-bodied cosmic lottery losers were getting a few tummy aches? The vast majority of us are all suffering over nothing! Life was so much better when we weren't all scared of things that won't happen! We did it for millennia and we turned out just fine!

Then you point out all the people actually getting hospitalized from pathogens in raw milk, the very thing we were trying to avoid in the first place, and if they even believe you at all they simply consider it an acceptable price to pay. Better to live in a rich and interesting society where you're free to risk harming yourself and others than a milquetoast one where imperceptible threats have been preemptively eliminated at great cost.

And then they turn around and work to ban books that mention trans people or ban porn websites to save the children or some other dumb shit.

Imagine being so vapid that the extent of your understanding of the world boils down to just being contrarian.

I have lived with lactose intolerance for almost half my life. For a while I drank raw milk, and could digest it. What I read is that while it does have lactose, it also still has the enzymes to digest it, that are lost when it is pasteurized.

But these days I don't bother with any milk from cows, I like oat or coconut milk.

Yeah, but the second half of this AI-generated summary is crap. Lactose and milk proteins that cause intolerance don't go away with pasteurization, you get sick with UHT milk too.

political beliefs aren’t genetic. Nazis tries to exterminate every communist and it didn’t work.

I’m sure it’s usually ok. That’s kind of the problem: if they only get sick 1 in 10 times, for example, they won’t connect the two enough to learn their lesson. Humans are dumb that way, and looking at prevalence of disease in the population is apparently now “woke liberal bs”

These people fundamentally don't understand nature. We had cows for 8,000 years or so, we existed at least x200 that. So it's 0.5% of our existance which means it's a relatively new technology. Even if you appeal to naturalism here it makes absolute no sense.
