They generally reject evolution too. Quite ironic when you consider that anti-vaxxers and proving Darwin correct. You have to admire the ingenuity of idiots to still find new ways to remove themselves from the gene pool.


Awesome, perhaps in the future we'll stop wasting our reverence on the great minds of everything from science to literature. Instead, we'll spend it on worshiping people like your brother, who lead the way in mocking anyone who respects intelligence.

Utopia here we come!


Your response is the exact type of response he tries to get from people. My dad, him, and me all enjoy poking people, it’s a genetic thing I think.


Nah, it's an increasingly common nihilistic attitude we see in society - people reveling in eroding of all moral principles, because it's far easier than actually getting recognition for doing something enriching with their lives. Angry Incels being the ultimate epitome of this.

Not saying your brother is an incel, but "trolling for lolz" is definitely on the spectrum.


How upset you are by the thought of my brother teasing people by pretending to genuinely believe the earth is flat is making me smile!


Good for you champ. Glad it was so easy to please you.


The worst part is that they'll get away with it too, since any kind of accountability in politics seems to have caught a cold and died.


I'm always curious to know, how many insects are killed to provide meat free vegetables?


I would imagine it's a similar number per unit of area/yield/weight to that required to feed animals.

In both instances, the crops are harvested and transported for use in very similar ways.

I don't know whether I'd include or exclude ground crops that are eaten by livestock in situ - not sure what percentage of crops they would amount to.

What was your line of thought with this comment?


I'd always imaged a large quantity of vegans were against the harming of animals. Doesn't insecticide go somewhat against this princible? Not to mention the river animals that are likewise poisoned by said insecticides? Or the birds that would otherwise be feeding on said insects.

OK. It's pretty much impossible to avoid this uncomfortable truth. But I'd like to see more vegan movements campaigning about the loose laws on pesticides - along with everyone else. The mass destruction of insect life should be a serious priority on a global scale, yet it barely makes the papers.


I'd always assumed (maybe wrongly) that restaurants and bars played music loudly so that patrons couldn't hold a proper conversation, and thus, drank more instead.


Sorry for the poor source, but according to one study at least that does seem to be the case.

It cites what sounds like pretty credible research. Although they could have probably got the same research by asking any group of 40yr+ cynics. :)


It's so you can't hear the drunk people who will be talking no matter what over the music.


I dare say these boys will find the manual rather handy.
