I'm not sure it's helpful to share things like this, especially to the group who already knows the issue, but it couldn't hurt I guess.

Just another tragic story that will be reduced to a +1 death by automobile.

Frustrating that the reporter doesnt at least touch on the epidemic of such "accidents", and how they might be prevented in the future.

1kg of steak waste is orders of magnitude more wasteful than 1kg of rice waste

Dont forget subsidizing animal agriculture

[–] Xanderill@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

If youre talking strictly about emissions being impacted, what youre saying is close enough to accurate, still, it would make a difference, only a small one. The thing is theres a long list of destructive effects of these two industries, therefore, not supporting them reduces there harm in many more ways than just emissions.

Seems to me the two biggest personal changes one can make are related to diet and transportation.

Realize the destructive nature of the animal agriculture industry, as well as the automobile industry and adjust accordingly.

Go vegan, and swap car for ebike. Hopefully inspiring others to do the same eventually.

Not true. For example, people with epilepsy use to be considered demon possessed, and were sometimes executed. This happened for at least thousands of years. There's a ridiculously long list of examples of how we have come far.

Burying lines may or may not be progress. That's not what I said

Glad to hear it's going well in Western Europe, but that's far from the norm.

My point is trees are much more than wood.

2 big problems with that statement. 1st, it's being harvested at a much greater rate than it's being replenished. Second, old trees and old forests are far more valuable to the ecosystem than the cookie cutter "forests" planted after harvests.

The first article title I read on the story only said that he died. Just now ran into the more accurately titled article here on Lemmy

 

Sure, don't give dogs twinkies, but for that matter, don't give humans twinkies either. The idea makes it seem like dogs are aliens or something. Dog food ingredients are usually meat, grain and veggies, just like our meals. Food that is healthy for you is healthy for your dog, and vice versa.

First of all, I find this picture hilarious regardless of whatever. It was in a healthcare textbook, baby reflexes.

Also, sorry I didn't know how to rotate. Is it something easy on this app, Jerboa? I'm clueless

Anyway, thought it could be good material for one of those "what people think child free is vs what it really is".

It takes a village (lemmy.world)

Listening to a book..."Sapiens". Author talked about how dependent kids are. How compared to other animals, our babies need alot of support in the early stages of life.

Like alot of you I'm sure, I've got a fair amount of kids in my life...none of "mine" but some kind of are. I guess my point is we may not have kids, but really, they are all our kids, as supported by evolutionary biology, it takes a village.

Edit: Going a bit deeper...the author explains that for millions of years, while we were tribal, nomadic gatherer/hunters. We didn't know who's kids were who's, obviously the mother was primary caretaker, but, circling back, we evolved to raise kids as a community, not so much of the "traditional" mom/dad/child dynamic popular today.

I don't plan on "having kids" but still, I think it's all our responsibility (hopefully a partially enjoyable one) to help. Hard to argue anything more beneficial for our societys future than having well developed youth.

 

Ran out of my ritual multi vitamins and wanted some quick, got these from Walgreens.

What do yall use? I know I've heard it's best to use multiple bottles for different nutritional needs but that sounds super inconvenient.
