wrong text on the picture. that one should read: “getting 200+ gambling ads daily while having the gambling gene and not gambling anyway.”

The picture that goes with the original text would be someone not even noticing the bullets flying and missing.

And people say studying philosophy is irrelevant for every day life.
here we were just laughing about a bird / venting about a predatory species, and suddenly we are talking ethics and the question if moral(?) applies to animals when discussed by humans.

You are obviously right, in that i place my “pets” over a random predator. but then again, is the comparison truely equal if the heron is your “pet”? the fish seem to me pretty passive in all this, except in their inability to not attract things that want to eat them.

Is good and bad or right and wrong even applicable to animals in nature? and does a fish in a domesticated pond even fall under “living in nature”? would that even make a difference?

Or is the fault my own for not making sure the fish are protected?

Getting back to the beginning, do i have an obligation to moderate my language in any way?
Is it mean to wish for the heron to starve?
Could maybe a case be made that it is a request for poetic justice that one heron lives and a fish dies, and another one starves and a fish lives.

Philosophy is the shit.

I wonder if he used Gemini or chatGPT to generate the speech.

I wonder if the people defending the damn bird would have reacted differently if they had watched it pull a 30 year old Koi out of their pond and flew away with it.
I knew that fish for more than half my life. My kids grew up feeding and watching them.

There is always more to a story, and it’s good to remember that first impressions of a situation are often only that.

They are trying.

Life is more than just survival.

Well, i’m not munching on your chicken nuggets, am i?

exactly!

let him stand there until freezes, stupid git.
Probably the same one that steals fish from our tiny gardenpond.

would be nice if it worked like that.

I will look this giraffe thing up, that is madness.

Evolve some more bones you weird yellow sky-lawnmowers.

That is a great Headline(?) of the post. Took me a minute to get.
Also made me think, do especially tall people have more vertebrae?
Do all humans have the exact same number of bones?
why?
that seems incredibly random.
Not even one little extra bone?

well… if you put it like that…

no.

pack it as tightly as possible, and put it in a stage-box (think musicians, drum set, etc). Go to random hotel check into room with your “instruments” for your “gig” tomorow. switch mattress before leaving next moring.

no, didn’t watch it. He’s obviously wrong if he cooks eggs for that long and expects anything but firm yolk. Anyone can boil an egg. the very slightly more complex task is boiling a soft egg.

You should have added that you live above 4000m where water boils at 86 degrees centigrade.
Then 7 minutes to soft yolk make total sense.

Oxygen starvation might then also explain your very strange insult game.

😁

Both of you. please buy a cooking book. I’m sure there is something like “Cooking for men living alone for the first time in their lives”.

• you always poke a hole in the bottom of the egg, otherwise it will split the shell.
• 7 minutes?? what are you cooking? Ostrich eggs? at most 4 minutes for runny yolk, maybe a bit more for large eggs.
• rinse the eggs in cold water when finished. more cold, more better, helps detaching the shell.
• how do you even measure time when you put them in before the water boils??? don’t do that. smh
