  • Scavenger animals are pretty cool and some of the few times where people living in cities get to observe wildlife doing their thing, but comparing scavengers to “workers” vastly underestimates the level of exploitation workers face.

    Remember, it is literally illegal in many places for humans to pick expired food out of grocery store dumpsters. Police regularly get called to protect the trash from starving people. We are literally treated as less than raccoons and opossums.

  • It’s honestly hard not to say we as a species don’t deserve whatever happens from this. This was 100% our own choice and we have no one else to blame.

    Think about it as a sci-fi film. If an evil alien civilization breeds humans specifically to subject them to a life of constant suffering and experimentation, and some humans they deliberately infected with deadly diseases escape, would anyone in the audience feel bad for that alien race when those diseased humans infect everyone and wipe them out? It would be the most classic poetic comeuppance trope and the humans would be uncritically hailed as the heroes.

    Spoiler alert, we’re evil civilization doing that.




  • Doubt I’m the first to figure this out, but putting broccoli in instant ramen. I like the texture of softboiled broccoli and it soaks up the salt from the broth.

    Definitely don’t just put raw broccoli in your bowl and pour boiling water on top of it though, that will barely even cook it let alone make it soft. You need to boil it properly in a pot which will also make the noodles taste better. At least put cold water in your bowl and microwave boil it.
