the human population is very much reliant on animal sources to sustain itself

Do you have a source for that? What % of the global meat consumption is actually necessary and what is just for pleasure? And don’t get me started on food waste…

what is required to continue existing as a species

Do you mean scale up as a species? We’ve existed for how many thousands of years in a sustainable way?

the distinctive categories of pets and livestock are an unfortunate requirement of our current situation

A requirement for what? You said we need animals to sustain ourselves. What do we need the distinction of pets for?

People who treat pets animals as property are not good people.

FTFY

I’m not a militant vegan, I do make occasional exemptions for ethically sourced animal products. But the distinction between pets and other animals is just hypocritical.

Ah cmon now, stop spreading conspiracy theories. They probably just couldn’t prove citizenship and were deported.

If you try to solve everything you won’t solve anything. Life is just too complex.

There aren’t only solvable or unsolvable problems. You also have to consider constraints like time, money, physical and mental health and whatever else you can think of. Which becomes a murky soup of tasks.

Sometimes it’s just best to say “it is what it is” for your own mental health. I’m sure you’ve done it, you just haven’t thought or said those specific words. Otherwise you’d not be posting on lemmy, you’d be out there solving problems.

Ok, so you’ve got it all figured out huh? You earn a lot of money, are in really good shape, eat healthy self prepared food, have a good relationship with everyone around you, have everything in your home organized and tidy, have hobbies that fulfill you… and you still have enough time to post on lemmy.

All by the power of never giving in to “it is what it is” but instead carefully dissecting and solving everything in your waking life.

Props my man, what shall we call you? Captain Solveitall? Supersolver? Something else?

Who’s gonna set up the tent and put on a fire? That’s a job for peasants! /s

I can already hear “The mainstream media is playing tricks on us to keep us from enjoying ourselves by [insert any dumb shit like rolling coal or something]“

with little to no harm

Not sure how resource allocation works and how quickly you could be sent back to earth but someone may have to be sacrificed.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

Since everything seems to be going downhill right now, how would I harness that power? You telling me the crystal peddling influencers were right all along? 🤣

I don’t understand. You think Factorio is visually not pleasing but Mindustry is? Are you for real?

Have been using it on the side for a couple of weeks now and it’s pretty nice. Hope they don’t fuck it up, I could see myself using it as my main browser in the future.

You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have mice with frickin’ laser beams attached to their crotches!

You just have to Nix it all together.

Not if you want to promote a website.
