  • Immediate ban on boiling crabs and lobsters alive is called for after disturbing study

  • People split the crab right on the docks after catching them sometimes.

  • I think the reasoning would be that a nervous system to convey pain would be complex and in a smaller body there's less room to have complex systems. You can only fit so much into a package. Another thing, not necessarily for lobsters since they are so long lived, is smaller creatures also tend to have shorter lifespans so a system to convey pain wouldn't be as helpful if you only live for like a year instead of 100 years. It might help you survive another month or two but would it be worth all the resources and space? Who knows.

    Can crickets and grasshoppers feel pain? Would pain help them live significantly longer and produce more offspring than grass hoppers who could not feel pain?

    That's all that really matters in the end, if pain helps them breed more. If it doesn't then that nervous system would never develop or eventually be bred out of the gene pool.

  • From what I've read about lobsters (not sure about crabs) is they have a decentralized nervous system, not a singular brain like mammals.

    So how do you humanely and quickly kill a lobster? If you are using a knife it would basically probably have to bleed out, which would not be quick, since you can't just stab it's brain or cut its head off like we do to cows, chickens and pigs.

  • Could he 0ass the test?

  • I would be curious if it's the educational component or the money component that influences people to be right or left leaning.

    Yes more people who have second education degrees lean blue, but how many of them are arts degrees and whatnot where they never got to work in their field and are wage slave baristas at Starbucks or whatever.

    Meanwhile a lot of people who never went to college went to trade school and are making bank, but most lean towards Republicans.

    There was one article I read where people tend to move from Democrat to Republican as they get older, since they eventually amass wealth and net worth and then all of a sudden have more to lose by taxes going up or other policies benefitting those with less then they have and they won't benefit directly anymore.

    I'm sure higher education has a role to play, especially down south where even grade school public education is abysmal and most lean to the right.

    But money plays a big role too I imagine.

    Trump announces annexation of Venezuela

    Jump

  • There are dozens of countries that have dictatorships and dangerous drug smugglers

    There is no reason for Trump to picking on Venezuela and only Venezuela other than for their oil.

    Stop trying to make it sound like it's some justified righteous cause MAGA

  • Microsoft kills official way to activate Windows 11/10 without internet

    Jump

  • Ugh I fucking hate Microsoft so much. Why does it exist.

    Hey, you. Yeah, you. The person who currently is reading this and works for Microsoft. Fuck you. Quit your job and find something else.

  • Trump rings in 2026 at Mar-a-Lago with $2.75m auction of Jesus painting

    Jump

  • It's the perfect thing too, because everyone knows that's exactly what it is, even the cops and government, but since only rich people are able to do it no one does a thing about it.

    If they saw a poor person pay $1M for a painting they'd shut that down real quick though.

  • Snitches get switches

    Jump

  • Well not as an individual but the owners/caretakers of the land are legally required to remove it and remediate the area.

  • White House demands British supermarkets stock chlorinated chicken

    Jump

  • I'm Canadian and live close to the border. Growing up my mother would always cross into the states to pick up cheap food like chicken, cheese, milk, etc.

    I could ALWAYS tell if it was American chicken we were eating for dinner... Always had an off-putting taste to it.

  • Canada's grocery code of conduct kicks in today, with buy-in from 5 major grocers

    Jump

  • Voluntary.... What a waste of tax dollars developing something people won't pay any attention to.

  • Snitches get switches

    Jump

  • Depends on the rules. Some places it would be illegal to disturb anything in conservation areas like parks but other areas it would be illegal to ignore invasive plants and not remove them.

  • How many countries has Trump bombed in 2025?

    Jump

  • I mean, technically the US was at war under Obama so some of those can be somewhat excused.

    Trump matching the number of countries while not being at war is probably a little worse.

  • If only...

    Jump

  • Unless you lived in an area that had winter, and had to stockpile resource so you didn't starve for 2-6 month soft the year.

    Then someone had to pick the berries and then someone had to preserve the berries or cook the berries and someone had to store or transport the berries as you moved camp around etc.

    I hate it when people make it sound like cavemen lived in some sort of equalitarian resource rich utopia.

  • Xi Jinping vows to reunify China and Taiwan in New Year’s Eve speech

    Jump

  • I wonder how many people living in Taiwan were alive back when China controlled it. Probably 90% + of the population has never known anything but independent Taiwan

  • My kitten loves his hammock in the bathroom window, but my neighbor's trash pile ruins pictures

    Jump

  • I would probably send it a complain to the city.

    Although you might not see it often due to the fence (can you not smell it) that much garbage probably is enough to cause substantial pollution being exposed to the sun and rain, and could also pose a fire risk if any batteries or chemicals made it in there.

    There's a reason people can't just open up a business as a private landfill wherever they want.

  • German bank heist: Thieves use drill to steal €30m from savings bank

    Jump

  • Eh, the bank probably won't be inconvenienced much. I imagine they have insurance, so the insurance company will be fucked, so good cause fuck insurance companies.

    Although for something this big the government might be the insurance for the bank, so taxpayers might foot the bill.

    So fuck us I guess, we lose again.

  • Gen Z men are moving away from MAGA in droves, polls show

    Jump

  • These ChatGPT articles are ruining the internet, it's almost all I can find now when searching for information.

    I ask a question in google and then get sent to a website which has a novel about why my question is a good question and then gives the simplest 5 outcomes/solutions (i.e. did you turn it off and on again?) with zero photos or diagrams or anything and it's just a giant waste of my time.

    I only need to open a webpage for like 5 seconds before I know it is going to be worthless.

    Is there a way to blacklist a web domain from ever popping up in your Google search results again?

  • I think it's a terrible idea to run a sitting vice president as the candidate for the next election.

    Since people often want change, they will ask "what will you do different?" And the VP will have to respond "Nothing" otherwise people will ask "Well, why aren't you doing that now?"

    It will be interesting to see how Vance responds to these questions if they decide to run him to take over for Trump.
