Comment on The moment we've all been waiting for: you now can have targeted ads on your 2k smartfridge
sauerkrautsaul@lemmus.org 11 hours agono I hate, and I mean hate smart speakers and all generative ai.
I would 100% be up for a fridge that keeps track of its contents’ expiry dates via qr and could display warnings when things are going off. I hate wasting food, especially animal products (I already feel guilty enough) so if my fridge said the smoked salmon had 3 days left I’d be into that. now, it retaining my data and sharing it with anyone would be a complete dealbreaker so

If it’s dead, it’s dead. Whether you eat it or not, it won’t change anything. The purchase kills the animal, not the consumption.

the animal is usually dead before someone walks into the grocery store

Sure, but let’s assume you want to eat x grams of animal products a week. You could either buy them and eat them, or buy them, have them expire, and then you have to re-buy them. The second one clearly sucks more.

Sure, that would indeed be a shame. But nobody is dependent on animal products unless there’s a medical reason.

Fair point, and I am not going to argue that. I am just pointing out that eating animal products you have already bought is the less bad option compared to not eating them.

Nobody is obligated to inject vegan philosophy into every irrelevant discussion unless they have a mental disorder.

hm. Id see it differently. kill animal -> eat animal 👌
kill animal -> let its body rot in the refrigerator while my hungover ass orders thai food is the closest I get to calling something a sin. its a crime against ecology imo.
I get what youre saying though, I just definitely see it through a different lens
