My New Haircut

You’re free to take those off

I can’t tell you for sure which is quicker or more painless. I’m not a marine biologist and even if I were I don’t think I’d have the answer on another creature’s consciousness. Personally I think it’s really just cope and it’s splitting hairs at that point. You just need to face the fact that you’re killing and eating a living creature.

No it hasn’t been. Cockroaches, lobsters, and other arthropods have a decentralized nervous system. They have ganglia throughout their entire body instead of one centralized brain. These ganglia can react to stimuli independent of the other ones.

They don’t have a nervous system like vertebrates do. They can still feel pain if you slice them through the head because they have a network of ganglia throughout their body, not one centralized brain.

It doesn’t actually kill them, and it’s so small that you’re likely to miss it anyway.

None, because knowledge and the search for it is an end unto itself, so all facts are useful to learn and know.

I’d rather have holidays and birthdays fall on different days through the years.

We have boomers on lemmy now?

In this context “alive” means “still able to feel and process pain.”

You know, I’ve read that stabbing them through their head doesn’t really kill them because they have distributed ganglia instead of one centralized brain.

I’m sick of the word “spicy” referring to anything but food.

However the plot needs them to.

I think people should be able to decide what happens to their remains after they die. I’m fine with automatic registration and the ability to opt out.

Opt-out is the best way. Greatly increases the supply of available organs but allows people not to participate if they don’t want to.

Were the balls on the milk cartons really necessary?

Yes, people would mind.
