  I know you don’t really mean it, but I’m going to use your bad faith arguments to point out some things you should know but have probably never thought about.

  Let’s accept that you are a fully committed plant’s rights activist. You considered killing yourself out of respect for your plant brother’s experiences, but ultimately you decide that no creature should be obliged to kill itself simply because of its own inherent nature. You cannot help that you need to eat. So what do you do?

  You decide that while you have to eat to survive, that doesn’t mean that you can just eat wantonly, whatever and however the urge strikes you, because there are these serious consequences to your plant friends. You look for the way of life that minimizes the number of plants that you have to kill. Easy, you think, you’ll just eat animals!

  Until you realize, those animals eat plants. Those animals ate WAY more plants than you would have if you hadn’t eaten any animals. Oh. Shit. The more animals you eat, the more of your plant sisters you are killing. You realize that your ethical convictions demand that you instead eat only plants, and only as many as you need to survive. Because that is the only solution to this ethical quandary.

  But of course, in real life, you are not actually concerned with plant’s rights. It was just a ruse you were pulling. You did not go down this train of thought to its logical conclusion. These are not issues that you have spent years and years thinking about. Rather, like most people, you have been trained to not think about them. You’re not engaging with intellectual honesty, you have begun to attempt to frustrate meaningful discussion. I’m giving you a lot of grace here because I don’t think you realize you did it, and I’d like to give you a chance to see it.

  Okay, I can see you have become defensive. It’s understandable. When I finally accepted the vast cruelty and violence I was a part of, it fucking broke me. That is what you are trying to avoid. That is what I tried to avoid for a very long time. Eventually I accepted that I could not be a kind, decent, good person, and continue to use cruelty and violence to exploit unwilling individuals.

  I’m going to let you take back your bad faith arguments.

  Just for clarity, I don’t accept that it is okay to keep animals as pets. But that isn’t relevant to the current discussion so I didn’t get into that.

  Those chickens didn’t just happen. Their very existence is abuse. Creating an individual with the preformed intent that you prevent it from becoming able to care for itself, that it will be dependent on you for everything for it’s entire life, that is one of the most abusive things you can do to another individual. Fine, rescue your cats or whatever, but that’s not what you’re talking about right now. You’re talking about a captive individual who exists to convert calories for you, like a machine. They wouldn’t lay eggs anyway; they wouldn’t EXIST. Not as an individual, but also not as a genetic line that is cursed to lay far more eggs than its own interests have any reason for it to lay. It lays so many eggs that its body becomes depleted. It is not natural for chickens to lay eggs so often! That is something that we did to them. And it’s yet more abuse!

  The abuse in inescapable when you use an individual’s body for your own purposes.

  And again, we are talking about fucking eggs. There is no food shortage. So there is no justification for even a little bit of cruelty and violence. Plus, eggs are not good for you in the first place!!

  Individuals must be treated as ends, never as means.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aside from possible allergy concerns, what's stopping people from grinding all the food waste into a mixed paste?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s cruel and requires violence. There are situations that justify cruelty and violence, but given that there is no food scarcity, it is not justified now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aside from possible allergy concerns, what's stopping people from grinding all the food waste into a mixed paste?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  We can easily grow more plants than humanity can collectively eat, and still have plants left over for global industries. There is just no need to be that frugal with food.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pissing in the shower is better in every way than pissing in the toilet.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not just that the phenomenon isn’t familiar to my experience, it doesn’t even theoretically correspond to physics as I understand it. Probably you know the things I’m about to say and are speaking informally, but for clarity and to establish common vocabulary I’m going to nail some stuff down according to science.

  You can’t see water in its vapour form. You can see when vapour condenses back into tiny liquid droplets in midair (fog, mist, or colloquially “steam” but not really steam) or on cold surfaces (like when it fogs or “steams up” a mirror).

  Water vapour can’t carry substances with it when it goes through the phase transition from liquid to vapour. Anything that is dissolved in the liquid water remains behind as residue. When water vapour condenses back into liquid, it is pure water. This is how distillation works. Piss is just water with stuff dissolved in it. If you evaporate piss and then condense the vapour in a separate container, you get pure water.

  (Things get complicated when there is something dissolved in the water that has a similar (vapour pressure)[en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_pressure], like alcohol or solvents, but those shouldn’t be present in your urine.)

  I think maybe you just have pee that has an unusual or unusually strong odour, and the hot, continuously agitated water makes the smell more obvious than when you use a toilet or urinal. But the scent doesn’t mean you are being bathed in piss vapour, it’s just a normal smell.

  I’m imagining this sizzling noise when the piss and water mix, and a pale yellow fog collecting around his ankles like he threw some dry ice in the water
