Cats (which are what all this nonsense is about) are obligated carnivores, so they'd either find meat elsewhere (and probably move to another home were they weren't mistreated, if able) or die.
They're not being downvoted for their veganism, they're being downvoted for their defence of animal abuse.
(Same reason the lemmy.world admin seems to have taken these actions; as much as I despise lemmy.world admins and their attempts to bring everything bad from reddit to lemmy, in this particular case they seem to have been in the right, if maybe excessively hamfisted as they tend to be).
Completely fubared.
we can't throw out all progress
Well, of course with your puny little arms you can't...
A SPEAR
Hypocrite.
One stick, two sticks, who cares. If you want to throw a rock, throw it with your hand, as nature intended.
Tying it to the end of a stick is as much cheating as using another stick to make your arm longer.
Real rock throwers don't need sticks. If your arms aren't long enough that you're dragging your knuckles on the ground like our forefathers you're as weak as the kids you're criticising.
Is a forest with a good mycorrhizal network a huge lichen..?
I'm sure it's not unusual for Florida men to have lichen growing on them, so we're probably halfway there already.
If I wanted to be creeped out I'd go to a haunted house or something like that, not to a store.
One hundred push-ups, one hundred sit-ups, one hundred squats, and a ten kilometre run, every single day.
Also, never, ever use the air conditioning in the summer or heat in the winter, to strengthen the mind.
And of course, eat three meals daily, but just a banana in the morning is fine.
Eventually you'll go bald, and become fast enough to be able to, while standing with your back to a mirror, turn around and see the back of your head.
retail employees have to act friendly and be nice to you
As an European, if a retail employee ever acts friendly or even smiles at me I'm not setting foot in that retail chain ever again.
I don't want creepy freaks bothering me while I'm trying to shop, I just want to shop and be left alone unless I ask for something (which would also be a red flag, the products should be sufficiently well organised and labelled that asking will never be necessary).
AI might miscount fingers, but looks much better than that, and frankly I doubt it has the nuance to make someone look so realistically old, tired, and bedraggled, since it's mostly been trained on pictures that tried to look good, and not like the human equivalent of that famous poorly taxidermied lion.
