I guess I should have said we don’t make friends with them. I could have also drawn attention to the awful living conditions, but getting all Dominion-y wouldn’t have the pizzazzy oomph that I was going for

It definitely only got popular because of the hype re: “Pokemon with guns,” but it’s legitimately better than the game it actually copied, which is Ark. You know what’s cool about Palworld? Me and my coplayer were able to stop playing without losing everything we’ve built
Anyone who thinks Palworld is actually a Pokemon ripoff either hasn’t played Palworld or hasn’t played Pokemon

I don’t need to come up with any revolutionary ideas, the open source folks are already creating without patenting their creations
Here’s a revolutionary idea: universal basic income. No need to prevent other people from monetizing your idea if you don’t need to monetize your idea in the first place

Over the years, I’ve tried three different times to fix the backlights on three different TVs. At this point, I understand that I failed backlight is a failed TV

Not to jump to the defense of the cheapest Chinese manufacturer, but my parents’ TCL TV has survived for like 6 years

legally not Pokemon
You mean Shin Megami Tensei? Or Digimon? Or Monster Rancher? Or Cassette Beasts? Or Temtem? Or Kingdom Hearts DDD? Or Ark? Or Yo-kai Watch? Or Telefang?

A shitty solution for a shitty situation is not a good solution

The butchering thing always bugged me. Where tf do you think your chicken nuggies come from? The only difference is that we don’t let real animals have friends before we kill em

Oh damn, I just checked and found a massive hole on every physical copy I own…

I mean we can simply let the kids handle the .22s, and adults like myself can stop the .45s and shotguns

Yeah unfortunately the only flaw in this plan is that they’re simply aren’t enough fingers for all the guns

Very Lain adjacent! Yoshitoshi Abe did the character design for Serial Experiments Lain before making Haibane Renmei. There are many Lain fans in the Haibane community

Can’t wait for 0 people to join my Haibane Renmei community that I don’t have the experience or patience to mod, nor the understanding of the source material to justify creating it in the first place

Hell yeah, that’s what sets humans and non-humans apart: if part of our pack can’t survive on their own, we take on the burden of surviving for them. No other animal can survive a broken femur like humans can, and it’s not because we have some incredible healing factor. Whenever I’m on the verge of feeling despair, I think about that 15,000 year old broken femur

Plus of course capable of coming up with ways to cheat
That’s the biggest one! People like to talk about how a naked human with no tools is weak, and like yeah, but that’s like saying your average house cat could kill a gorilla if you simply removed its muscles
- Comment on bitey 3 weeks ago:
I got a bone to pick with this kind of diagram. Everyone likes to talk about how much better other animals are at things than us, but if you look at animals holistically, humans are really fuckin good at everything. Like yeah there’s a bunch of animals that are faster than us, a bunch of animals that bites stronger than us, a bunch of animals that are more muscular than us, but we’re consistently in like the top 10% overall
Finna make a version of this meme where it’s mice and rabbits

Yeah, I’ve never seen a vegan say that either. Didn’t say I did. It’s always carnists trying to catch vegans on some imagined technicality to show how hypocritical they are. I put the word “debate” in quotation marks because there isn’t one—it’s not a debate if one side is founded entirely on if orance of the other’s position

Unfortunately, honey bees aren’t the bees we need to bee helping
- Comment on Honey 4 weeks ago:
Entirely true. My favorite stupid argument is about lab-grown meat. People don’t seem to understand that veganism is practiced for a variety of reasons. Is lab-grown meat vegan? It depends on the vegan.
My rule of thumb is that I’ll eat it as long as nothing was injured or killed to make it. Factory farmed eggs? Nah, I’ve seen videos of macerators. My neighbor’s chickens’ eggs? Hell yeah, I’m friends with those chickens

Hey quick question what the fuck
- Comment on rabioli 1 month ago:
Yes, but also no. In a very literal sense, human beings are animals, and our modification of the world is technically the same kind of thing as, like, a bird building a nest. But I think there is some utility in distinguishing between human activities and non-human activities. We are uniquely capable of altering the environment in ways that no other creature can.
