Why do some people say "I wouldn't want a government to dictate what I eat"? This would mean they'd be against food safety regulations, would it not? Context was the idea of a government banning meat

  • In the 90s they linked hot dogs to cancer.

    But EVERYTHING is linked to cancer.

    But also everybody is getting cancer.

  • Oddly enough, so is horse dick!

    Now, anyways.

    It wasn't always the case. It took a porn star dying after porn makers in the 2000s forced a horse to rape a woman (yes, I typed that right), and film it. The practice had been going on since the 70s, but now a woman died. So lawmakers got together and said "Ya know what? No more sleeping with horses. I don't think anyone will argue that proposed law, and I can use it on the campaign trail next election!"

    And so it was. No more horse fucking porn.

    And I guess the meat is also illegal. I'm sure there's a story there too.

  • Kinder eggs should NOT be banned, and Americans have an inferior product because of it.

    ........but also I agree with the banning of Red dye #3.

    • Im not familar on how to make meth. But is my mom in trouble with amonia windex bleach 2 empty 2 liters, batteries under the sink?

    Jump

  • Amonia and bleach don't make meth. It makes mustard gas.

    As for what the police will think if they search your moms house, you're thinking about this from the wrong perspective.

    The cops are never there in good faith. The cops are never there to get to the bottom of the real story. The cops are not an element of justice. We don't have a justice system. We have a legal system. If the cops are already searching your place, they don't give a shit about your intentions, your behavior, your motivation, or your innocence. They already made up their mind long before they showed up.

    It doesn't matter what they think. They'll plant evidence if they find none. They are not above being dirty cops.

    If they're already searching your house, it's too late.

    • How do you gently tell someone you only want to keep seeing them if it's on a dating level?

    Jump

  • See.....this is why you're having trouble finding dates. Women love a man who has his shit together, and has multiple hampster wheels!

  • See, what you do is, step 1, buy a mansion. With a huge basement.

    Step 2, install several cages in that basement. Full iron bar.

    Step 3, hire ninjas to use sleeping darts on her to knock her out.

    Step 4, imprison her naked in one of your many basement cells. Each of these cells has a human sized hampster wheel. She now has to run on this hampster wheel all day. Doing so produces electricity, which powers your house.

    Step 5, repeat steps 3-4 until all the cells are filled with more naked slaves!

    Step 6, install webcams and start a business called "WeRunOnHampsterWheels.com". Create a new fetish based on bouncy boobs running on a hampster wheel, which you now have a temporary monopoly on, and a head start, and an unfair advantage in being able to create live content 24/7 for free.

    Never once show your face in this house. Ever.

    Step 7, after years of hampster wheel slavery, you "break into" the mansion, and find this woman you used to know who hasn't been seen in like 15 years.

    Step 8, tell her you COULD get the key hanging on the wall, and set her free......but you only want to see her in a dating sense.

    She'll be so thsnkful that she'll agree to anything.

    Checkmate!

  • I understood nothing you just said. Are you an alien from mars, who's almost learned english, but not quite?

    Because if so......that's pretty impressive. But also, you should leave earth. Humans have been known to kill other humans for having a different skin color, or for believing in a different magical man in the sky. I can't imagine what they'd do to someone from another planet!

    Earth is not tolerant of others.

    Jump

  • I have a feeling that people will downvote you, because on the surface it SOUNDS like you're defending tesla.

    However, I'd like to point out AI doesn't give a shit about accuracy or context, or being right.

    AI can reaffirm your already held beliefs, and still be bad for doing so. Because if you let yourself be led by self reaffirming beliefs, how is it any different than people who watch fox news and say "Yeah! All the people I already hate ARE the source of my problems! Even the TV says so!"

    If NPR or BBC or any other news outlet just started reporting "trump bad! Other people good!" but it was based on an AI overview that viewers leaned a certain way, and therefore would be profitable to slant news that way, then you aren't getting news. You're getting artificial opinion pieces written by a computer.

    Now, that being said, even human news outlets slant their stories. So the issue isn't exclusively with AI. Real journalism is dead and has been dead for decades.

    The point I'm making is, just because the story says "tesla bad!" and we all hate tesla, doesn't make this story legitimate journalism. Even if the story and facts presented are true.

    And I think most people will not grasp that concept, and downvote you.

    Yeah, no I did read this title right. That's the topic.

    Someone took time out of their day to post this. Intentionally.

    sigh

    Now, OP, let me ask you this. Did you mean for all those words to come out of you in that order, or were you just as surprised as the rest of us?

    • TIL the term 'blockbuster' came from a time when blocks of ice in front of a fan were used to cool movie audiences. A large audience required more cooling thus "busting" the block of ice.

    Jump

  • Thats an outdated term which was eventually used by a VHS rental store after the term was outdated. And NOW, the VHS rental store is outdated. Maybe in 30 years there will be a post "TIL people used to rent VHS tapes as their primary source for watching movies at home. It was called Blockbuster!"

  • I saw that once on fetlife, but I assumed that was a sex thing. The whole profile was based around this guy being degraded, and humiliated, but he kept refering to himself in the 3rd person as "it".

    I didn't realize that was another gender identity. I just thought it was a fetish thing.
