And this is why I fear Cthulhu
  • A wise man stood at the edge of a river in the town he'd lived all his life. Day after day monks gathered along the bank meditating, praying, citing ancient incantations and performing sacred rituals. The wise man asked the monks why they were dedicating their their entire lives repeating these things day after day. On of the elder monks says, "we learning how to walk on water to cross the mighty river." The wise man says, "but the fairy is only a nickel."

  • Vegans of Lemmy, would you eat lab-grown meat?
  • I'm not vegan but if there were ethically sourced, sustainable and environmentally concious options for lab produced meats that were proven to be suitable and safe for human consumption, I'd willfully switch to that as a source of meat.

    As an avid barbecue and smoker enthusiasts, I don't think there could ever be a replacement for a perfect cut of ribs or a high quality steak. I only get these from my local butcher from local free range, grass fed cattle. Those are special meals though, taking upwards of 12 hours start to finish of attention to detail and a level of reverance for the process. Not a daily occurrence. However, anything with/like ground beef, chicken nuggets and many other food products that don't require these specific cuts (this includes basically the entire giant filthy diseased corperate slaughter factories, fast food and so on) could easily be replaced by lab cultivated meats. I think that's inevitable and I fully support R&D of this technology.

  • So, I'm from Baraboo. Though I haven't lived there in well over 10 years now, I still have friends and family who reside there still. The day after this happened, the video was already making its rounds in our various discord servers, getting texts from family members with the original video link and it was all around big deal. Everyone was fucking pissed at this guy and there were soooo many people in my circles that wanted to see him named, shamed and royaly buttfucked by the court of public opinion. It didn't take long at all for someone to go, "hey, I know that guy. He works at so and so" and I'm happy to see that the cat is out of the bag here. It seems he has been fired. His employer is well aware at this point and have scrubbed all mention of him from their website.

    The one and only way to unfuck my hometown's garbage residents is to hang them out to dry in public and I'm glad this is national news. When someone wants to pull some racist shit, let it be known that we're gunna make sure their racist bullshit will be put on display for all the world to see and the consequences shall be their's and their's alone to bare for their stupid bullshitery. Baraboo is such a cute little town but GODDAMN some of these motherfuckers are an embarrassment to our town, our state and our county.

  • What band or music group would you not have minded if they didn't have a certain band member?
  • Honestly... Maynard from TOOL. Tool is my favorite band for decades at this point but if anyone had to go, it would be him. We'd get more albums from Danny, Adam and Justin and none of the snobby asshole attitude MJK brings to the band. I'm not anti-MJK but I'd love to get a version of TOOL without him in the mix.
