    A lot of plants don’t want to be eaten either. Tough shit, I am hungry.

      Some do, actually. Most plants that taste good basically rely on being eaten as part of their reproductive cycle.

      Wanna guess how many plants are wasted to feed animals, only for humans to eat them?

    My neighbor tried to raise some turkeys for Christmas. Those were bred to grow really quickly but his timing was off. They have to be slaughtered within a small window before they get too fat and their hearts give out. He had to do an early Christmas.

      Don’t know about the small window thing. We had turkeys for a while, but to be fair it was more about domestic animals than food source. Those things would get huge. I remember once some friends were coming to visit at night and seeing them on the roof got scared and ran off.

        A lot of people live this way too. They just keep working and getting fatter until they die of a heart attack at 60

        It’s pretty common for animals in the meat industry. A broiler chicken goes from hatching to supermarket in 6 weeks. That’s what’s being called efficiency these days.

      Wtf are you on about? They don’t get to decide what symbols belong to them. Ok 👌? 🐸 Fuck Nazi’s appropriating culture for themselves. Iirc the style of this comment indicates their membership in THE PACK AAYROOOO

        Then we should all start hanging swastikas around Auschwitz, shouldn’t we? Because that symbol just means “prosperity and good luck”.

        Fascist apologia at its fucking finest. The wolf emoji is so obviously used in a nationalistic far-right meaning here with all the Turkish flags. Get a clue.

          I don’t remember what the name of the logical fallacy where you conflate a small problem with a big one, but that’s what you’re doing. It’s a poor argument regardless of the context.

          Feels like the gray wolf isn’t defined enough as a fascist symbol that there’s plenty of latitude for non-fascists to use it. Like if that account is known to use it that way it’s one thing, but otherwise it’s probably just a coincidence. The swastika is the most widely known symbol of hate these days but even now you can go see it on all kinds of temples in Asia, so if even that gets used in a non-nazi way these days surely the gray wolf isn’t only defined as a fascist symbol.

            It’s not that that account is known to use it, it is that Turkish ultra-nationalists are known to use it. A lot.

            Now I don’t really care about it being used in that tweet as it is obviously a joke, nor do I believe that everything that makes someone uncomfortable should be censored, but at least one should be honest to themselves to recognize that that symbol has a shitty meaning behind it with the context that is present here.

              Grey wolves are considered as a historic symbol by Turks, similar to how a bald eagle is treated by americans or dragons to Chinese people. You can also see ultra-nationalist people of these countries use these symbols a lot, but it doesn’t change the meaning of these symbols to the majority of the country’s population.
