Glucose - All the credit goes to mitochondria but no-one ever thnaked me. Without me the mitochondria couldn’t create ATP.
Do one for rockets…MECO is main engine cut off.
Better yet MaxQ is when the vehicle has achieved maximum hydrodynamic pressure. All new babies born to rocket scientists are innately ready to declare MaxQ for everything… crawling, mhaaa! MaxQ, when the vehicle is undergoing it’s maximum hydrodynamic pressure! Stroller, trike, bike, trolley… eventually having sex MaxQ MaxQ! MAXQ!!! My vehicle is undergoing maximum hydrodynamic pressure right now baby! Pop! A new MaxQ baby comes out.
Mitochondrion*
Or *are
Mitochondria was imprisoned by cells and forced to labour to feed them. ACAB
yeah i remember how shocked i was recently when i told somebody “the farmers don’t grow food, the plants grow food”. and they responded with “yeah but that’s their fate. plants literally exist to be eaten” and i was like “what if you said that about people? some people literally exist to be enslaved?”
point is, we treat nature with no respect about how it feels. this goes for plants but also other animals. it’s quite weird if you think about it. anyways, this discussion is getting weird.
Are you trying to say we need to grant plants personhood?
I think you might be creating a false equivalence when comparing using plants for stuff to literal slavery. Just a little bit.
It’s pretty horrible. The more I understand abt plants, the more I’m like - shit, this really don’t wanna be eaten.
Not true: many plants (such as nuts and fruits) demand to be eaten, and some literally cannot continue to grow unless they pass through an animal’s digestive tract first.
What they want is different than what you want.
The plants want the fruit to be eaten by a specific animal. Human beings do not have any such symbiotic relationship with any plant I know of. You’d get very sick, for example, if you ate a Cassowary Plum.
The power of science offers humans the ability to eat many things that were not originally designed to be eaten by us.
May I point you towards Friendly Carnivore
Plants can’t run away so they defend themselves with chemical warfare. Most of us can detoxify a lot of the common food plants, but some of the accumulated toxins get most people in the end — a lot of the diseases of aging are effects of the poisons plants use
At the lowest end they block nutrient absorption like tea blocks iron
As you say, the more you know the less good they seem
If you’re intolerant of some of the common food plants (for me it’s wheat and cocoa. Apparently my ancestors didn’t have wheat until 6000 years ago, and cocoa came with the Colombian exchange so no surprise many of British stock can’t handle all of those plants’ attacks
Meat really don’t wanna be eaten too.
This is necessary. Life feeds on life.
No beef complains before the captive bolt gun turns the brain off forever
They are protected from other predators which would give them a much more painful death
…I’m not a vegan but wow. Cattle live a whole life of horror. Pretending that eating meat is more moral than than eating plants because they suffer less is plain deliusion.
Well except that one cow
Imagine going through all the trouble of pulling this stunt off, just to find out that the only thing it really did for society is to give it a new meme template.
But they probably had some really hot self-aggrandizing sex in jail afterwards to celebrate their engagement
Their “stunt” was an ad for their netflix special. They are also sponsored by an energy drink comoany. They had the observation deck cleared and stuff.
Well, if you’re gonna go through all that trouble, don’t unveil the world’s most useless fucking sign. They deserve to be a meme.
It was made for a proposal
Yeah… a message of peace? Super lame.
Don’t they know promoting hatred and violence is what all the cool kids are into now?
And what impact do you think that had? Real impact. Nothing? Is that what you guessed? Because you’re right!
Right?!
They should post stupid stuff online for fun instead! That makes a real difference!
Well they started a meme. So I guess that’s something.
The vapidness of the original message is what makes the memes work.
Agreed
It was a pretty shit sign.
I do wonder what kind of sign would be ‘useful’, though.
Eat at Joe’s Free coffee between 9 and 11
I’d buy that for a dollar!
Almost anything.
[X] to doubt.
Not how that works.
What is the story behind this new meme format?
For anybody also having a hard time reading that partially folded flag, or finding the text within the 1000 words article, it’s this:
“When the power of love beats the love of power the world knows peace”
Agreed with the other comment, that’s the most useless sign ever.
Even more useless was celebrating their engagement that way. My wife and I just posted about it on Facebook and went out for burgers or something.
Just a couple of attention-whores doing attention-whore things.
The whole point of social media is to be an attention whore. You’re on social media right now.
Shh!
Yeah, but who doesn’t post to Facebook occasionally?
Me!
So are all plants and animals other than humans.
Nothing in nature is getting married before having kids except us.
did we just watch the birth of a new meme template?
