  • Most pet food is made from the unwanted scraps/guts left over from processing human food. There are not additional pet food farms - they’re the same farms. Where will the guts go if pets don’t eat it? Cheaper fast food, probably, i.e. more fast food, or waste.

    I don’t know that this would reduce anything - just move resources around and probably have other effects that you and I aren’t imagining.

    Cats and dogs do require meat to live, unlike humans. Reducing the meat industry will drive up pet food prices, and that may reduce pet ownership. But we better fucking make sure pets are spayed and neutered - doubly so if that ever happens.

  • I think they meant in the future when the form factor is the same as wearing glasses.

    My glasses are on my face every minute of every day, except when showering and sleeping. I’m uncomfortable when they’re not there - and not just because I can’t see, but because I’m so used to it.

    That’s probably the future - people being uncomfortable if a screen isn’t in their vision every waking moment, because it’s as physically comfortable and as “normal” as wearing glasses, and more comfortable than looking down at a phone.

    It’d be an amazing feat for technology, but similarly as dystopian as having a social media-feeding PC in your pocket, or just any PC if you’re another generation older. Future people will eat it up though, just like we eat up the phones.

    Now I’m imagining marketing where the old millennials are staring at their phones, and the young people are complaining about how grandpa never engages with other human beings or makes eye contact - but they’re still scrolling TikTok while talking to him.

  • 1998: That would be a waste of a perfectly good cable. Never know when you might need it, so it goes in the box with the others.

    2023: The fuck are all these cables for? I’ll make a meme… but only with one. Never know when you might need the others.
