There’s a decent chance Walz runs to be president in the future if Harris wins and I think he’d probably do fairly well in a primary and general

Fox news would never be so concerned about such “details” like “hey that’s obviously not a fox, what are you on about” /s

(I uploaded the wrong photo)

Fox news yet again lying through omission and blatantly forgetting the important news of foxes eating watermelons

OP’s account has no posts but three spamming this “IQ testing” site

Not the person you are replying to but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darknet_market

Not OP, but as someone who was at one point excited by the potential of crypto, the ecosystem has moved more and more towards what it claimed to stand against initially

It’s supposed to be decentralized, but things like mining pools have lead to heavy amounts of centralization in block production. If we look at Bitcoin, for an example, we see that over 51% of block production is controlled by just two mining pools. That’s not limited to just Proof of Work mining either. Proof of stake sees centralization in staking pools as well. That’s only just looking at one aspect of the network

It has also not really been seen as a currency. People’s view of it as an “investment” which have the opposite qualities you really want to see. People are encouraged to hold it and never let go, meaning they won’t want to spend it which is adverse to its use as a currency. This has also lead to it being incorporated and dominated by the very financial systems it was initially supposed to move away from

I don’t want to type out an essay, but I could keep going on in other ways that’s not really lived up to its promises.

However it’s often used in the context of already existing systematic issues. The bunch has already spoiled

Quite a range of things. It’s so many It’s hard to list them all. Some of these are more global than others:

Eyestalk ablation is the removal of one (unilateral) or both (bilateral) eyestalks from a crustacean. It is routinely practiced on female shrimps (or female prawns) in almost every marine shrimp maturation or reproduction facility in the world, both research and commercial.

Chick culling or unwanted chick killing is the process of separating and killing unwanted (male and unhealthy female) chicks for which the intensive animal farming industry has no use. It occurs in all industrialised egg production, whether free range, organic, or battery cage.

A gestation crate, also known as a sow stall, is a metal enclosure in which a farmed sow used for breeding may be kept during pregnancy.[1][2][3] A standard crate measures 6.6 ft x 2.0 ft (2 m x 60 cm).[4][5]

[…]

There were 5.36 million breeding sows in the United States as of 2016, out of a total of 50.1 million pigs.[8] Most pregnant sows in the US are kept in gestation crates.

Ventilation shutdown (VSD) is a means to kill livestock by suffocation and heat stroke in which airways to the building in which the livestock are kept are cut off. It is used for mass killing — usually to prevent the spread of diseases such as avian influenza. Animal rights organizations have called the practice unethical.

Marium webster has a good article about the history of the misappropriation of the phrase

In most species, bird flu is both highly infectious and very deadly. A disease being very infectious can make up for its lethality

It seems I shitposted too close to the shit

You’re not completely wrong, but image of being burned alive is quite striking to me

For anyone curious about the previous commenter’s stat

For chickens, the daily count is extremely large – 202 million chickens every day. To comprehend the scale, it is better to bring it down to the average minute: 140,000 chickens are slaughtered every minute.

Whoops corrected that

Burning building and creatures burning alive? The toxic smoke from it kills chickens

Only paying attention if it affects the price is why we’ll never hear about the surprisingly frequent cases of them

Millions of birds have died on single fires before. With how things currently are, it almost certainly won’t be last

They’re usually only reported on locally, but they kill hundres of thousands to millions each year by being roasted alive or from toxic gases

US federal regulations are also quite weak for barn fires. Unfortunately they are not alone in that. Other countries such as Canada and the Netherlands are similar and have frequent barn fires too

It’s worth mentioning this isn’t an isolated instance sadly

Fires on large-scale animal farms, or factory farms, are surprisingly common. Over the last decade, at least 6.5 million farmed animals, mostly chickens, perished in barn fires in the US

The true number is likely significantly higher, AWI notes, because not all states have the same reporting requirements, and because farm animals are property with essentially no legal protection from suffering

From global estimates

It’s estimated that three-quarters – 74% – of land livestock are factory-farmed

[…]

Combine land animals and fish, and the final estimate comes to 94% of livestock living on factory farms.

In the mean time, there’s plenty of plant-based meats along with plant-based dishes and the like. If we only wait for cultured meat, harm will continue to be done

Was thinking more about cameras from journalists or other organizations

Their ads usually don’t show them inside even when they live there

Bringing up a Tyson competitor, the farm manager wonders how other poultry companies handle supposedly free-range-raised chickens. The short answer: They don’t, really.

“Those birds don’t go outside — you know that,” the technician replies. “They don’t all go out … Look that up online.”

The manager chimes in: “It’s not like they make it like all of ’em come out and enjoy the sun.”

“That is strictly for commercial [advertising] purposes,” the technician says. “They pick the prettiest birds [for commercials] and they toss ’em out in the grass.”
