Also, I searched and could only find suggestions for https://www.biocraftpet.com/ which synthesizes meat from stem cells, I’m curious what your take is on this approach.

Indeed, the cat appears to have less capability to adapt to most changes in dietary composition because it cannot change the quantities of enzymes involved in the metabolic pathways. This evolutionary development has resulted in more stringent nutritional requirements for cats than for omnivores such as the rat, dog, and man.

Biologically, humans are omnivores. Your suggestion would work great with other omnivores. I’m all for balanced healthy humane diets for the animals we are responsible for feeding! But not to the point of neglect.

And now we have a convicted felon poised to be dictator.

The only way to not participate in this industry is to not have any carnivores as companions. Because otherwise you are killing your own sentient creature.

It’s not a “moral” obligation, it’s how their body actually processes and uses proteins and nutrients… you know, it’s probably better for me to not engage here. Stop neglecting animals based on your own beliefs.

Go get a rabbit for a pet instead.

This all sounds great but I’m right in the middle of a multi year self destructive streak, maybe later.

Oh good job, you found another thing we need to reduce!

You sound pleasant. Is the most important thing about relationships always being right? 🤔

Sounds like you need a train. Not a car.

My brother is an astrophysicist, and a Catholic. It’s fascinating to me, honestly.

You’d become a homicidal maniac if youtube makes you pay to remove ads?

Not appreciating basic storytelling isn’t the flex you think it is…

Let’s give them a suspension, send them to their lead painted home with a pack of smokes, just like every generation.

The research showing the impact of cellphones during class outweighs an individual’s opinion. This has nothing to do with fashion and can’t be compared to hats or locker decorations.

Okay but vote if that hasn’t happened by election day

My main issue with the serious journalism is that there’s apparently no way to sort a feed by time/latest date anymore… what is the point of seeing a random assortment of news from any number of years? Maybe it looks different if you log in, but it used to be my main source of local news & weather before.

Jokes on you, my corporate job has crippled the Mac they gave us so much that EVERYONE has trash hardware!

Steam Deck is extremely capable.

I have an e-ink ereader (Kobo Libra Colour) that makes it way less intimidating. Just turn it on any time and read just as much as you can whenever you find a moment.

My husband’s favorite treat is a KitKat, he’s also deathly allergic to shellfish (my favorite food). I sent him this immediately.
