Alarm as bird flu now ‘endemic in cows’ while Trump cuts staff and funding in c/news@lemmy.world

You’re accusing me of not knowing how cows are fed when you’re inventing a world where farmers spend extra time growing crops to make it taste nicer to cows. Be real.

Maybe this is bias from 20ish years of not eating meat, but most of the time it just smells foul to me, like an overly sour smell that only goes away if you spice the fuck out of it. Beef and chicken are the main offenders for this for me.

Weight matters not even a little compared to the caloric content. If cows got more calories out of corn stalks than corn kernels, then they wouldn’t even finish growing the corn and would just feed them stalks. The fact you have to grow a corn stalk that weighs hundreds of times more than the kernels doesn’t mean the kernels aren’t what the farmers are after for livestock feed purposes. The stalk just gets tossed in for efficiency’s sake because the cows can also digest it.

He’s been a PR pope whose purpose was to convince you that the Catholic Church is less regressive than it is. None of their stances on LGBT people have fundamentally changed, and they are still a huge driver of anti-abortion laws and access issues, even in the US; did you know 1 in 10 hospitals in the US are Catholic? In some areas that means your only option doesn’t do abortions, even if it’s legal in your state and you have a medical need for one. Or if they make an exception it’s only after making you unnecessarily risk sepsis. The same kind of stuff you’re seeing people die/nearly die from in states where abortion is illegal.

And there’s pretty much always Catholics who think the current pope is Going Too Far if they do anything short of reversing Vatican II.

I’ll have to give it a try if I ever see some, I think all I’ve ever seen here are soy, almond, rice, and oat.

I wish oat milk didn’t tear my guts up, because it’s easily the best plant milk I’ve had.

And if you had argued that killing animals and eating their meat is the source of diseases, well again that's not how AIDS started

I was under the impression primate bush meat consumption was believed to be the origin of HIV, is that not the case anymore?

I love the iridescent effect! The geometric design makes me think of some far future sci fi, like Foundation or Dune.

Relevant Smithsonian article.

I’d probably skip on the animal fat and bitumen, but cedar, juniper, and cypress all smell pretty good.

Apparently the scent could also vary slightly depending on who was being embalmed.

HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit Game Bundle - $25 for 30 games (itch.io)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/21904554

Trans Rights are under assault all across the United States as the new administration continues a brutal project of oppression, exclusion, and denial of care to people everywhere.

Distribute Aid is developing a network of supply chains, medical aid, distribution partners and kit development across 11 states that aims to provide direct care and medical support to thousands of trans people, with the goal of scaling up to cover the rest of the country during 2025.

100% of the proceeds of this bundle go directly toward Distribute Aid's efforts to supply kits of 1 year's necessary medical equipment into the hands of trans people in needs for free.

Each kit comes with a sharps container and enough syringes, needles, bandages, and alcohol wipes to last a year. For people living in states where it’s difficult to access syringes and needles, this will help reduce needle reusing and sharing.

If you aren’t interested in the games and prefer to donate to the campaign directly, you can do that here.
