QuaffPotions, in This

How many burgers were served? Multiply that by a hundred to get an estimate of how many innocent cows were slaughtered for this circus. But sure, it being cheap food is the thing to complain about.

washingtonpost.com/…/there-are-a-lot-more-cows-in…

psud,

I wonder how many mice died for the bun (and forests too)

QuaffPotions,

If you’re referring to crop deaths, you should know that nonsense has been so thoroughly debunked that anyone should feel embarrassed to be perpetuating that lie still.

surgeactivism.org/…/debunked-do-vegans-kill-more-…

commie,

what they asked is how many died for the bun. not whether you think that line of reasoning is sufficient to discourage veganism.

QuaffPotions,

Yes, and odds are they are asking as a way to bring up the idea of how many animals are killed in order to harvest plant crops. If you had bothered to go to the link, it would have at least somewhat answered your question because the short version is: fundamentally, significantly less than the amount of animals killed to produce meat.

All it takes is to think it through. If harvesting crops kills a lot of animals (which as the link shows, is already significantly less than some assholes made it up to be), then raising animals for food automatically kills even more animals because it takes way more crops to feed the animals that are raised for meat or dairy, than it takes to just feed humans directly.

commie,

your assumption of bad faith is itself bad faith

QuaffPotions,

This isn’t formal debate school. Welcome to the real internet.

commie,

this is a thought-terminating cliche

commie,

If you had bothered to go to the link,

Ed is quoting some pretty misleading statistics to support your point. if this is the best that you have, you might want to reconsider your position.

QuaffPotions,

Would you care to elaborate on what’s misleading about these statistics?

commie, (edited )

about 85% of all soybeans are pressed for oil for human uses. but a soybean is only about 20% oil altogether. that leaves 69% of the soybeans as industrial waste. feeding that industrial waste to animals is actually conserving resources.

so it’s not even true that the land used to make food for animals isn’t used to make food for people: it’s the same land.

QuaffPotions,

That makes no sense. Every part of a soybean can be made for human uses - textured vegetable protein (tvp) is de-fatted soy, for example. 7% of soy is going for human consumption, because that’s how much demand there is for it. Just as the vast majority of soy production is being used to raise animals for food, because that’s how the economics works. You can see the cited study and more in greater detail in this article - which also shows how cattle farming is in and of itself the single largest driver of Amazon deforestation.

ourworldindata.org/soy

And this article is a primer on feed conversion ratios, which demonstrates why eating plants directly will always be fundamentally more efficient and better for the environment than raising animals for food ever can be.

pbs.org/…/feed-conversion-ratios-help-explain-mea…

commie,

Every part of a soybean can be made for human uses

sure, but there are not enough people who want to eat soycake for the amount of oil that we produce. so giving it to animals is as good a use as any.

QuaffPotions,

Where are you even getting this nonsense about using soybean oil waste to make feed? Where does it say that is what’s happening?

commie,

if you don’t know how the industry works, maybe you shouldn’t be the one deciding how it should be run

commie,

cattle farming is in and of itself the single largest driver of Amazon deforestation.

what does this have to do with what we are discussing, or how many mice were killed for that bun?

QuaffPotions,

Are you a human being, or a mechanistic formal debate bot? I’m informing you on a complex subject matter with many important interrelated issues that range everywhere from ethics, to personal health (yes that animal flesh is killing you), to environmental issues, and even the grave risk of pandemic potential.

Your narrowmindedness is a symptom of typical carnist mental gymnastics.

commie,

I’m informing you on a complex subject matter

no, you’re not.

commie,

the vast majority of soy production is being used to raise animals for food, because that’s how the economics works.

the vast majority of soy (85%) is pressed for oil.

commie,

ourworldindata.org/soy

i’m so glad you used this. you can find this graph there that shows that almost all the soy we feed to animals is the industrial waste from oil production

commie,

If you had bothered to go to the link

like I don’t know who earthling ed is

discostjohn,

Your logic implies that a hundred cows are killed to source a single burger. That’s not how that works. Be vegan, but don’t be stupid.

archonet,

Be vegan, but don’t be stupid.

I think you found the problem there, sport.

QuaffPotions,

My math was bad admittedly - I didn’t take into account that most or all of those patties likely came from the same processing facility; so that even if 100 body parts are in one patty, 100 patties might contain the tissues of the same 100 cows that were slaughtered. In all that table might be a picture of 100, 1,000, or 10,000 body parts mutilated beyond recognition and mixed together.

My intent was not to suggest that it takes 100 cows to make one burger, that would be untrue. My intent was to point out exactly what the article was getting at, which is to recognize that when someone looks at most ground meat products, they are looking at a grotesque slurry of what used to be not just one living being, but the combined flesh of as many as a hundred or more once-living sentient beings.

discostjohn,

Yeah that’s true. Pretty horrific when you picture it.

byroon,

Starting to think it’s deliberate now.
I remember seeing a clip of Jackie Chan in a documentary talking about why the fight scenes in original kung fu movies were so much more visceral than American made ones, one of the techniques he describes is filming a punch from a wide-angle, then using a close up for the impact, but importantly having the same half-second of action in both shots so you would connect the two. Anyway i think of that every time I see this phenomenon

lseif,

did it give you the images in base64 from an llm, or from an image generation model ?

MacNCheezus, (edited )
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

I think it was one first and then the other

ChaoticNeutralCzech, (edited )

I think you can guess that part. I doubt a current LLM can create a valid PNG, even if it’s just a 1x1px one that has been created before. This is partially because PNGs have a checksum and the LLM has definitely not seen enough PNGs in base64 to figure out the algorithm, and is not optimized to calculate checksums. In fact, I analyzed the image and the image header checksum is wrong even though the header makes sense (was likely stolen). Also, it gets penalized for repetition, which occurs a lot in image headers.

AFAIK, the smallest valid image you see mentioned on the web is a 35-byte transparent pixel GIF, and the smallest PNG is a black pixel with 67 bytes:


<span style="color:#323232;">data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBAAA=
</span><span style="color:#323232;">data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQAAAAA3bvkkAAAACklEQVR4AWNgAAAAAgABc3UBGAAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==
</span>

Testing rendering: Alt text for the GIF; if you see it, it failed, Alt text for the PNG; if you see it, it failed, another 67-byte PNG but 8 px wide: data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAgAAAABAQAAAADLe9LuAAAACklEQVR4AWNgAAAAAgABc3UBGAAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==, or 1 gray pixel: data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAAAAAA6fptVAAAACklEQVR4AWOwBQAAPwA+Eq7IEAAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==, or a green one: data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAYAAAAfFcSJAAAADUlEQVR42mNk+M/wHwAEBgIApD5fRAAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==

Yes, I do remember the meme about that being posted here a few weeks ago.

JaymesRS, (edited ) in Also, the doors actually open.

Related: The actor who played Bo Duke just called for Joe Biden and Hunter Biden to be publicly hung.*

*One might say that based on the pictures shown during the congressional hearings, Hunter Biden has already been shown to be hung publicly.

rwhitisissle,

Unless he wants them to have large dicks in front of a large crowd, I think you mean hanged.

JaymesRS,

You know, given I made a dick joke as part of the post; I might already be aware of that…

rwhitisissle, (edited )

I didn’t read that part. So there. Oh, also, you changed the title of the article you linked to intentionally misspell it. Which, y’know…kinda disingenuous.

JaymesRS,

Actually, the article corrected the original quote in the headline, I used the original language in my link and never suggested that I was providing a copy of an actual headline.

TIL Pizza is a cylinder

Evil_Shrubbery,

Like a round toast with stuff on it

victorz,

Let’s face it, pizza is an open face sandwich.

Evil_Shrubbery,

(I like that my first thought reading that was like a comic/meme of intentionally faceplanting (your face) into the middle of a (hot) pizza)

victorz,

lol, I supposed it should really be “open-faced sandwich”. My mistake! 😁

Evil_Shrubbery,

Rofl, I genuinely didn’t even notice your typo, I was just entertaining myself … or maybe I have unresolved pizza issues :|

Iron_Lynx,

If we’re gonna insist to go morphological, then it depends on the edge crust.

If we count that as added thickness, a pizza is a quiche or a pie. I’m pretty sure Chicago Deep Dish would classify as such unambiguously.

If we don’t count the edge as upstanding, a pizza is toast.

victorz,

I’m not insisting, just joking 😅

PetteriSkaffari,

Why is a sandwich pizza not a thing already? Like a calzone, but without folding anything.

victorz,

Curiously, today I had a “kebab roll” (“kebabrulle”) which is a big thing in Sweden. Essentially a kebab pizza with a salad on top, some onion pieces, and dressing, rolled up into a roll, wrapped in tinfoil.

Very good, very heavy meal.

It would be 2PiZA, since ZZ is Z squared

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

It’s a 2-for-1 deal! Like Little Caesar’s! Pizza pizza.

Crozekiel,

Wat? It is supposed to be squared though…

reattach,

That would be the surface area of the crust, not the volume

victorz,

How does that work out? It doesn’t take into account how large the crust is in relation to the rest of the pizza.

reattach,

Sorry, the surface area of the “vertical” side of the crust, not including the top or bottom surfaces.

victorz,

Still not right, I think. That would be 2πZ, not 2πZa, right?

reattach,

No, you need to include the height of the cylinder (a). Imagine a deep dish pizza (big a) versus a thin crust (small a) - the sides of the deep dish pizza have more area. Your formula returns the circumference of the pizza.

If you’re interested in dimensional analysis (and why wouldn’t you be?) the formula you proposed doesn’t have enough length units. It would return a value of length (like inches, or cm) not area (like square inches or square cm).

victorz,

Oh gosh, my mistake. Had just woken up.
