  • We have three options here:

    All dairy products are actually non-dairy equivalents that happened to just take the original names.

    There are equally intelligent milk-producing species that either keep themselves in a milk producing state or are otherwise forced into said state.

    Or

    There is an unseen slave caste of lesser intelligent members of species that are harvested for their products.





  • Just adding into the “things we do wrong because goldfish”, and really a lot of fish that are casually kept, FEEDING SCHEDULES AND PORTION SIZES!

    Fish don’t need that much food in one sitting. Even if you’re growing/bulking something like goldfish, it’s 3-7 SMALL portions per day. Extra food just floats to the bottom of the tank, leaving it murky and releasing things into the water. This hurts the tank.

    (I know you’ve probably covered this a thousand times, but it can never be repeated enough, in my opinion. Feeding is up there with tank sizes on things people aren’t given enough information on when buying a pet fish)





  • Georgia. We get the break that our land isn’t also 90% waterlogged, but that doesn’t stop the air from hitting 100% and the temps from pushing into the 90s-100s.

    I know that exact feeling. I spent most of my life in West Virginia until coming down here to GA. We would get humid, I thought I could handle it. The moment summer even thought about rolling in, I was ready to get an oxygen tank.


  • My work is indoors. Next to ovens that were last built roughly in the 1960s, that shed heat like motherfuckers. In a grocery store that refuses to turn on any form of AC. In the American South.

    The air is hot water. It rains, and you just get more wet. They make up new ways to measure the humidity here. You can swing an empty cup through the air and have it come back full. You can keep varieties of tropical plant with little difficulty.

    There is no fucking escape here. Simply Damp Hell.
