  • Omg, ikr?

    People automatically start bitching about anything ever so slightly restricting harmful corporation's actions even when they aren't even involved with the profits (which also shouldn't matter, but it's funny that it's not even their greed, just brainwashed by propaganda they happily repeat & would die for).

  • Lol, yes, posted at late American time, mentioning "feds" in EU, for a split second I thought we had a major international incident because some stupid badged individuals powertripped to Spain 'to bust a crim'nl'.

    I'm glad they didn't, tho it would be at last something to read about.

  • There are WAY more rats than cows. Period.

    So if you know that, why would you insist it's saying that instead of immediately looking for something that does fit?

    Also a planet is not a pen and no farmer ever will say they have 241 animals!

  • Yes, that describes the complexities of language perfectly (and the process of how you decipher the meaning)!

    We tend to forget how complex communication is, expressing huge concepts with a few sounds/characters/gestures is one of the greatest achievements of Earth's animals (humans included).

    It's amazing it even works. But requires a lot of brainpower to encode & decode.

  • Exactly.

    "Let's have less regulation so it will be simpler!" – I think having more or less of it is so irrelevant that 'why not more'?
    \ (It doesn't hurt the people, the opposite actually.)

    Especially when the talking point (almost the opposite of what you said) "we need less regulation but better regulation" is promoted by individuals looking for deregulation for their personal financial gain regardless of consequence to anyone & anything.

    Also let's not forget there is a thin line between regulation & corruption bcs with (regulation) corruption the law framework stops working correctly & gets over-complicated for the sake of it, in some cases such laws even protect specific companies & hurt everybody else.

    It's not the lawmakers or the public that makes for complicated laws, it's the companies that want very specific things achieved & at best look for compromises adding complexities to regulation.

    But by default I believe that with more "regulation" comes more professionals in the specific field & the larger the work force (and their personal agency & personal responsibilities & normal lives) the harder it is to corrupt. People revolt & people generally want to do their jobs good & for good (evidenced by a myriad of public minimal wage workers doing real important shit with all their power).

  • Oh, no, I knew that (it fascinated me before), this isn't even the first such study, but mammals are there dominant species, a lot of other biomass is supporting it (eg oxygen, weather, etc).

  • I'm basically saying that you can see from the context (the numbers) that it's biomass - the same-ish as below even when/if the first thing you think about doesn't make sense, you search for the way it does (again, not dissing, but strictly technically it is about literacy, which in this case the pic is at fault for not all of the audience not getting it, and you for not understanding it, an overlap just didn't happen):

    And yes, since this is pun-ish territory, it's normal to feel some anger, puns are there worst.

  • Oh, I see now, thx.

    For me (how I perceived the simplified pic) the main difference was that I didn't think 'in a pen on a farm' but 'on a planet'.
    \ And your example also screams of 'it's not comparable, don't do that, in what scenario would you need a number 241 that would made sense?'
    \ (I really can't think of on answer short of making a Twitch channel for each individual animal.)

    Also that question is leading bcs you ask how many, whereas the pic in the post doesn't specifically say anything (which is the complaint as I gather - but we deduct the meaning of words from context all the time in all languages, if the 'by individual' doesn't make sense, it's obviously not that).

    you have 240 rats and one cow in a pen on a farm

    Do you not think the farmer saying he has 241 animals would be made fun of?

  • A planet used up for specific food cultivation (which left no ecosystem unaffected).

    Should have invented (energy to) food replicators before having the hubris to feed 100s of millions.
