  • Been around chickens quite a lot, and around cows a bit. Chickens don’t produce nearly as much methane as cows, chicken manure is an excellent fertilizer, arguably even higher quality and lower footprint than cow, their food consumption even per unit of mass is quite small, they don’t take much space, and overall, they’re relatively easy to work with.

    That said, plant-based options are even better in that respect.


  • I’d argue voting system is overrated.

    I had quite a few comments downvoted into oblivion because my opinion was unpopular in some corners of Lemmy.

    Like, go ahead and make a same political statement at .ml or .world, or come to some specific community to argue against the OP.

    Or, in reverse, there are plenty of examples when hateful or wrong BS was upvoted to infinity.

    I’ve seen this again and again with others, and I can confidently say voting is not a good metric for reason.

    At this point, it’s not a race to get people to Linux, but rather a race to get people off Windows and MacOS, which is almost the same thing practically.

    We really don’t want them to have it their way, as it’s detrimental to digital freedom.





  • Short answer? I don’t.

    What if your worldview just happens to align neatly with your temperament, your social environment, or whatever gives you emotional relief?

    It does. The things is, though - I happen to prominently share basic human values, such as kindness, mutual aid, cooperation, and care, all of which are normally seen as “good”.

    My social environment is very median, and I do understand the regular person as I am one. I know the struggles people in my group face, and am open-minded about struggles of others outside it.

    I feel relieved in the world where people are good to each other, and if that’s not what we strive for, then humanity has abandoned the very core of its own morals. When such basic things are betrayed, it’s always a sign of corruption, an attempt to justify greed, or selfishness, or something else.

    Then comes the critical examination of ideas that claim to lead us there, whether they could be contradictory and leave us with a very different place than we intended, either because not enough thinking went into original concept, or because it was a con to begin with, clearly serving the corrupt interest of the few.
