Excellent show. It’s very underrated, especially the early seasons. Got my friend into it and he’s very picky when it comes to everything basically lol.
Some ancient women gets defrosted and doesnt have time for our shit so just immediately starts having babies and thanklessly tidying up after all the men.
Lemmy’s userbase is currently skewed very left wing, many people on the left are vegan or vegetarian or at least care about climate change enough to see reduction in meat consumption as a necessity to fixing it.
So it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that you see more anti-meat discourse.
I’m confused by this and totally open for evidence that proves otherwise, but literally everyone I know who is vegetarian or vegan is a bit more or…insanely more on the conservative side.
I think you know some crunchy people. Or some republicans with a little bit of extra brain damage. There is a very strong left bias in vegan circles and vegetarians to a lesser extent
I think overall I associate more people on the left being vegan than the right; however, anecdotally I know more vegans that are conservative/right leaning. I don’t know why that is other than maybe it being a fairly well off area with hippie roots.
That’s fascinating, here in Germany it’s the opposite, at least in my experience. Everyone I know who is vegetarian or vegan (including me) tends to lean more left than those who eat meat.
Vegan here. I don’t know any conservative vegans, except for a single YouTuber. From an anti-oppression perspective, being on the right doesn’t really make sense for veganism. The right will perpetually define the needless taking of conscious life as personal choice as if the choice itself is morally relevant. Anyway, perhaps you live in an area with lots of repubs and neolibs?
Depends on where you’re from. There are countries like India where being vegetarian is a conservative, religious policy, where as in the US, being vegetarian (mostly vegan) is a liberal choice.
I am left wing but I’m not vegan and I’ll never be vеgаn and that is my personal choice
I don’t mind if others are vеgаn or vegetarian but when you start bullying people off a platform for not being vеgаn then that’s when I do mind
If I do see any of that bullying I do report it and I suggest you should too
I don’t think many on the left are vegan or vegetarian, I think that those two groups tend to live in the left spectrum. They’re far outweighed by those that do eat meat.
True, but the proportion of non-meat eaters is certainly much higher with the sort of people that make up the majority of this community than with the whole population
I suppose. but I worry about those who cannot biologically process a vegetarian diet no matter the supplements they take. If they get bitten by the tick, they’re fucked
That’s a thing? I mean, non-meat products are… well, an absolute fuckton. Obviously I know there’s stuff like gluten or fructose intolerance, allergies, etc.,but the spectrum of “things that aren’t meat” just seems too large for somebody to be incapable to live without it. Like, you would have to be absolute stacked with rare medical issues affecting your dietary options.
This is kind of like time travel in a way. If one were to go back in time, you would mainly need to worry about the diseases and parasites you bring back with you. You are descended from those who learned to survive the diseases of the past so you are likely to have some resistance to it. You wouldn't be perfectly safe of course, but not likely at more risk than if you stayed in your own time.
On the other hand, if you travel forward in time, like this nematode did, you are entering a realm that is full of virus, bacteria, and even fungus that have had decades to learn new tricks to survive that you would have no inherent resistance to.
The chance of there being some sleeping time bomb in the permafrost seems low to me since everything alive today is descended from those who survived that germ or parasite in the past.
Good point. I never thaught about it this way. Maybe these nematodes will not introduce diseases. But will they suppress recent fauna? Will these worms displace current worms or other species on a microbiological level? Or maybe these worms have a cure for recent diseases?
They could have also just been endemic to that area, and a host’s resistance possibly linked to a recessive gene. (like sickle cell and malaria in Africa) Following their period of removal from the environment, and with the traveling and immigration of humans and other animals, those genes could be dominated by another form or missing altogether.
Anyone wanna hook me up with their weapons dealer that could hook me up with a smol piece, so in case these science fucks up and starts an apocalypse they won’t be able to get to me alive?
I wonder if that’s where they got the inspiration for the conservatory in the abandoned Chateau Picard in the 20th century in the second season of Picard? It looks really similar.
