Do I get to kill the ants a second time?

Fuckin hate ants, always tryin eat my hair

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I was gonna reply with a joke, but this punchline of yours felt different. So, I looked it up, and holy shit, ants will just fucking abscond with your hair.

On the one hand, it's not personal. They don't know your hair from a leaf on the ground. All they know is that your hair is especially delicious and they wanna get all up in there.

On the other hand, if ants started chopping and hauling my hair like some sort of tiny logging expedition, I'd probably wanna double-kill them, too

It's more that I'm farsighted and can't see ants (not even with glasses, those ant nerds) unless they're the big fuckers. I have sat in so many ant trails because I could not see them.

One summer, during the week that you stay home alone when you're 14 as a rite of passage to prove that you won't die when left to your own devices, the ants attacked a cupboard that had no food (I thought). The cupboard with all the bowls and plates and cups and apparently ants that week. Well okay first they attacked the pantry. Then they attacked the bowls. Then they went after the sink and cleaning supplies. In retrospect I would not be surprised if my shitass brother mixed some bouillon in with the bleach.
I ended up having to clean the kitchen from top to bottom four days in a row. Including the fridge at one point, I was not leaving anything to chance after attack number 3. I wasn't going to cook and eat anything from a freshly poisoned kitchen, so I kept getting pizza instead of getting to try new recipes like I wanted.
I'm not sure it would be heaven without the opportunity to extinct me some ants. And then do it three or four more times to the same, reincarnated ants. I think my part of heaven is the baggage closet.

there's an elephant in the room

[–] Kalothar@lemmy.ca 27 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I like to believe this is implying he also ate that guy

Like that worst timeline Marvel story where Captain America introduced Nick Fury to the sweet sweet taste of long pork during Vietnam?

Do we have to make peace with each bacteria individually or can we do it collectively?

Or the wasp nest we wiped out

Now I need to know if viruses also count. They're not quite alive. Or are they?

Interesting way to blame individuals for capitalism.

[–] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 15 points 3 weeks ago (25 children)

When did capitalism force you to eat meat? You did it because you wanted to.

I saw it more as a vegan thing but I follow

[–] Calfpupa@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

That's also blaming individuals for capitalisms crimes.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

I don't see how an individual eating meat is capitalism, but I'm sure someone will try to explain it poorly

[–] Calfpupa@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago

We are talking about the comic. This person didn't personally kill all those animals, someone else did. Sure he benefitted from it, but that doesn't make him the killer. If we operated on that logic, he's killed millions of global south people as well. Where are they? Are their lives somehow not worth mentioning?

Other economic systems also eat meat.

[–] Lileath@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago

"Don't you get it?! I was forced by the CEO of NestlΓ© himself to consume brutally killed animals. I am just a little girl who can't do anything at all."

[–] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

Pretty sure people have been eating meat long before capitalism.

Wait, so I get to talk and cuddle a bunch of chickens, cows, and pigs? That doesn’t sound so bad. I’d be happy to make amends with them. I’d love to see what they’d have to say about the industrial food complex.

[–] Signtist@bookwyr.me 49 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

The thing about asking forgiveness and making amends that people tend to forget is that you have to actually regret it. If you're just like "sorry I killed you, but you were delicious!" you're not really making amends.

I've got a friend trying desperately to teach their toddler that biting someone while apologizing for biting them doesn't prevent them from getting in trouble.

[–] i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 17 points 3 weeks ago

That toddler is ripe to join the political class!

[–] RichardDegenne@lemmy.zip 8 points 3 weeks ago

I taught my two-year-old to say sorry, but he says it in the most sassy and amused way possible.

I've already made peace with the lives I've taken and will take to secure my own survival. Talk to any of those pigs and they'd do the same thing.

[–] ITGuyLevi@programming.dev 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Man, he was a hell of a hunter but a pretty sub par soldier from the looks of that line.

Going 1:0 is literally all you need to win a war...

I know, CoD lied to you, you don't get to respawn at checkpoint if you forget to use cover to regen your HP.

So was he like a rancher or a slaughterhouse worker after the war?

[–] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

There’s an elephant in the background. Most likely he was a poacher I guess

He sure killed a lot of animals.

[–] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 2 points 3 weeks ago (6 children)

Automatically, based on how we normalize and produce all that.

He must've been a farmer and a prolific hunter.
