ai slop didn't start until 2022 or so, it basically timed perfectly with ethereum switching to proof of stake. The demand for nvidia gpu chips would have dropped with the death of crypto mining, but instead it exploded. Really, videos that were good enough to trick people didn't happen until last year. Pic related was from May of 2024.

>Mandatory microchipping and registration of all dogs and cats in the EU

It's happening. The EU has taken the firs step into preventing crush porn. It's a small step but a huge one at the same time. Crush porn enthusiasts torture animals for their entire lifetimes. They will never be caught, they will bury animals in the forest, in their yards, or just throw in the trash can. There will never be an investigation, nobody is looking to prevent animal abuse like we actively strive to prevent and detect human/child abuse. In china it's not even illegal to torture animals so pic related, they do it in the open and you can even get paid to be a professional cat deleter.

But now a first step has been taken in registering all cats and dogs.

We ultimately need to copy/paste all procedures in place to stop child abuse and use them very same ones for animals. It's the only way to keep all animals safe.

But now, if you dump an animal and its not microchipped, there will be a police investigation.

EUROPEAN ANIMAL ABUSERS ARE FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW. THEIR LITTLE DAILY ANIMAL TORTURE IS ABOUT TO GET NERFED

>understanding emotions, having the empathy to perceive this very physical, real, chemical process that happens and influences on conscience, is the same as being ruled like a woman

No, it just means empathy, understanding the process.

Try to solve this quizz: animals and humans feel pain exactly the same way. Therefore, there is no logical difference to treat animals and humans differently at a logical level.

The only way you could justify different treatment, would be through emotions: "but I think i'm more important"

Logically you cannot make the argument that animals should be treated differently. Real men follow logic, real men are mostly gone now

wrong. animals aren't people therefore it is illogical to treat them as if they are people, it's as simple as that.

Vegan ethics are faithless tautologies, shitty religions. At least bible thumpers have the creator of the fucking universe to listen to and his supposed laws are remarkably concordant with natural law. Vegans have “the virtue of being logical and righteous” “because its righteous and logical”

Podcaster Joe Rogan has warned that mountain lions are running riot in certain states and eating household pets, demanding politicians do more to address the problem.

“One of the things they found out in San Francisco in the Bay Area was when they do shoot these mountain lions, they’ve done an analysis of their diet. It’s 50 percent dogs."

“They’re doing nothing to curb the population. And this is the thing is like people go, ‘Oh, it’s OK Let nature do its thing.’ No, it doesn’t do its thing. It kills your dog, OK?” he said.

He continued: “Fifty percent of their diet is eating people’s pets. So, they’re hunting people’s pets. That means you are, if you’re a dog lover, you’re allowing a monster to eat your dog because you think that’s the right thing to do and to be kind with nature."

“No, you have to hunt them. You have to get them the f*** away from you."

Rogan went on to share a story about Hanes being pursued by a mountain lion while out for an evening jog and commented: “That is the consequences of letting monsters live in your neighborhood."

The host concluded by suggesting that trophy hunting should be rebranded as “monster control” to attract broader support, signing off by saying: “I love animals, but I am on Team People.”

I find it very weird the no species of trilobite adapted to land has ever been found.
They existed for hundreds of millions of years, an like most arthropds, seem pre-adapted for walking on land.
hell, there isn't even evidence of fresh water trilobites, shit is just weird.

Keep in mind that nuclear weapons would be useless against them and since they possess human-level intelligence, they will quickly figure out how to sabotage drones, take down power lines/grids, organize well-coordinated attacks, etc.

Oh yeah, a bird that just got a little extra pattern recognition is suddenly going to know how to go after hardened substations, underground cables, and sodium cooled microreactors. It would take them years to figure out what above ground power lines do. And it takes breakage to destroy those.

All we have to do is turn the lights up, leave them on all night, and blare electric wizard 24/7 and every bird would die of stress without even being able to think of a solution

Birds with human level intelligence wouldn't just sit around in slingshot range like those ones the Chinese killed. No, we're smart enough to keep out of sight and gather in remote, hidden locations.

please refer to >>5103936

There's simply no place in the world where birds can just gather and hide in safety to build their nests that's not in range of human missiles, or out of the scope of human radars. And yes, there is such thing as birds radars, as a matter of fact, all air radars, be it weather or military, are bird radars after a few technical adjustments.

>>5104900
Now cite the WHO’s actual data. Its gen pop slop. Better yet, tell me the specific carcinogenic chemical. Protip: muscle tissue is not carcinogenic. Blackening it on a grill is. Fucking intestinal microabrasions from eating too many plants could be carcinogenic. Don’t be stupid.

They issued a political statement, not a medical one. These are the same people who advocate for alpha gal syndrome.

how insanely dumb do you have to be to beleive WHO in current year. jesus christ.
they say its carcinogenic because it has some haemo iron which can be carcinogenic if you OD on it. yet they don't list anything else with haemo iron to be a carcinogen, eg sardines or liver, which have like 10x the amount.
