If Bernie’s 5% a year billionaire wealth tax had been enacted in 2012, Elon Musk would be worth less than $365 billion instead of the $1 trillion he’s worth today. He’d still be the wealthiest man alive & every senior in America would have dental, vision & hearing under Medicare.

There IS consensus on vegan diets for cats. It’s animal abuse. Cats are obligated to carnivores.

PETA tried having a “vegan lion”. The animal starves because their bodies do not get the proper nutrients from plant based foods.

Yall are fucking insufferable it's a diet. It is a white savior diet. It's so you feel better about your consumption because it hides under the lable as ethical when it produces more harm and waste than eating meat does. Yall will go as far as forcing it on cats. I hate you

Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a utopia of peace, unity and happiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology

humans used to make gay sculptures carved from a piece of stone and you expect me to believe that I cant live without ai and huge data centers sponsored by useless billionaires

OK this genuinely makes me mad.

Sony explained a few years ago that they won't add PS3 emulation on PS5 because emulating PS3 games is simply difficult, yet the console is powerful enough to emulate PS3 games.

What a joke of a company, seriously. 🖕

When Republicans talk about "deregulation," here's what that means in practice:

Companies are allowed to cut corners on food safety to increase their profits and our food becomes unsafe to eat, and shortages drive up prices for consumers.

So, apparently, the Cornell r*pists have tried to dox Jane Doe, but can't remember her. Do you realize what that says? If they can't remember which victim she was?
How many were there?
HOW. MANY. WERE. THERE?!

[Maw @TheEbonyMaw]

This isn’t a matter of “please just text me”, nor is this like some Gen Z hates phones type thing. This is spam callers completely obliterating the trust of the common man answering the phone because so many of us get bots calling our number almost every day.

Will more monsters emerge from the V-pets?!

Fact about ovaries they didn’t teach you in school because most men think they are just a cupboard where eggs are kept :

1. At five months old before she’s even born she has about 7 million eggs that’s the most she will ever have and by birth its down to a million or two.
2. They don’t take turns left right left right no it’s basically random which one goes every month
3. The ovary isn’t even attached to the tube. There’s a gap so when the egg comes out the end of the tube reaches over with these little fingers and sweep it in and sometimes the tube on the other side reaches across and catches it instead.
4. The egg is the biggest cell in the human body. You can almost see it with a naked eye and the sperm one of the smallest
5. We were told it was a race faster strongest winner it’s closer to a job interview the egg gives us chemicals that pull in sperm and early research suggest it pulls harder for some men than others. We turned up thinking it was sports day wearing shorts but really it was her choice all along
6. To let the egg out the surface of the ovary actually opens up some women can feel it on one side a sharp little pain midcycle and Germans have a word for it 'MittelSchmerz' then it heals every month
7. Her ovaries make testosterone and for most of the month that’s actually more testosterone in her blood and than there is oestrogen
8. The ovaries age faster than any other organ in the body, scientist and now studying them to understanding ageing itself and after menopause they don’t just switch off. They keep making hormones for years
9. Every cell in your body runs on tiny power stations called mitochondria and near enough every one of yours came from your mom through her egg. Your dad‘s got binned and Hers came from her mum and hers from hers all the way back. You’re running on your mother‘s batteries everyone is and yet for some reason we think heritage goes through the men

becoming an adult is realizing that the laws they taught you about in school mean nothing. this is clearly a monopoly

[onyekachi @honeycaki3]

electric toothbrushes were originally made for people with disabilities but now everyone uses them. the same with velcro, & even curb cuts, which were designed for wheelchair users, but now useful to cyclists & pram-pushing mothers. rights for a subgroup can end up benefiting all

We own nothing. We keep nothing.

THIS is why scanlation groups still exist and why we don't openly talk about our favorite piracy manga/manhwa sites; because even though people would pay for a proper service that provides translation and access, it's always TAKEN AWAY.

How about someone starts decompiling Photoshop and Premiere Pro?

You will not read about this in your media but French high schoolers have completely shut down the country’s school system and are furiously protesting the government’s relentless austerity measures. Of course the government has responded by brutalizing the kids.
