[description: jack black, wearing a red shirt, red pants, cowboy boots, a cowboy hat, and a suede fringe jacket, walks in a very exaggerated manner down some stairs. he kicks his feet out and flaps his arms up and down, so the fringe on his jacket makes a loud noise when he moves. he turns around and goes back up the stairs in the same manner, before lifting his hat and saying “yeehaw!”]
i’m not even sorry
WIP no. 2. I redid almost everything thanks to @corseque and @literallybyronic kindly providing me with eggscellent references and I will probably keep tweaking it right up until it has to go into the bust.
Yeah I understand schroedingers law, that any closed box could contain either whatever is supposed to be in it, or a dead cat, which is why i don’t go into shoe stores,
who was the first animal to fuck instead of budding or something.. he mustve been like mm.. oo damn girl this feels good LOL

This is still one of the best executed jokes I’ve ever seen
Being 18-25 is like playing a video game where you’ve skipped the tutorial and you’re just sort of running about with no idea how anything works
Being 25-30 is like later on in the game when you’ve figured out how things work, but have made poor leveling decisions along the way and are now horribly underpowered for what you’re supposed to be doing.
This person is my new best friend
Farming systems need to fit into their natural and social environment. Sometimes we describe this as a socio-ecological niche.
Caption;
In a minute.
So, taking it that you said you live in Arizona and “your family has a farm in Chihuahua,” A quick congratulations are in order. You’re an absentee landowner! You’re right at the peak of farming’s social pyramid. Living the dream.
So you probably don’t participate in the day-to-day management, you just collect checks. Pretty common situation for absentee landlords. From that distance, it’s understandable that you have a poor grasp on water, land, and how they play out in various types of agriculture.
But let’s take a step back.
Lots of cultures have used low or no meat diets. The Ganges valley, ancient Egypt, China, much of early Europe, ect.
Notice anything in common there?
They’re all very, very wet. Plants that are edible for humans grow readily.
They also had intense hierarchies where elites could just tell the lower classes they weren’t allowed to eat meat-whether via religious teachings, custom, or just straight-up economic exploitation to where animal protein was unattainable. But that’s a whole different discussion.
On the other hand, lots of cultures have used mostly or all animal diets.
E.G. The Bedouin, Mongols, Maasai, Inuit, ect.
What do these have in common? They’re in places that are either very dry or very cold. Either the plants that grow are very sparse & tough, or none at all.
Humans can only digest specific types of plant matter. We need tender stems, leaves & fruit; enlarged seeds, or energy storing roots.
The entire rest of the plant is inedible for us. Stalk, branch, dry leaves, ect.
And without intense irrigation, the only plants that grow in dry areas are entirely made of things that humans can’t digest. They’re almost entirely cellulose. Tough stalks, fibrous leaves covered in wax and hair, thorns, ect.
That’s why we call these areas ‘scrub’. The only use humans can make of the natural vegetation is to scrub pots.
But…cows, sheep, goats, horses, bison, deer, camels & other ruminants can digest all of it.
That’s what those 3 and 4 chambered stomachs are for. These animals GI tracts are fermentation chambers full of microflora that break long, tough cellulose molecules down into sugars and fatty acids that the cow can use.
We can’t do that. We eat straw, we just poop out straw.
That’s why people living in deserts, scrub & dry grasslands aren’t vegetarian. They’d starve. They kept close to the animals that can digest what grows there; ruminants.
(The oceanic food chain that Inuit & other maritime peoples are looped into is a whole ‘nother discussion.)
Failure to recognize the role of local environment in diet is a major oversight in the vegetarian community at large, so again, no personal blame here.
Traditional vegetarian societies are trotted out to showcase that low/no meat diets are possible. But it’s done w/o recognition as to why ‘those particular’ societies did it, and others did not.
Paying attention to local environment is a huge part of sustainability, and yet sustainability movements don’t always do so well at that.
We can also fall short by failing to recognize that for dry regions, the bottleneck in productivity isn’t land, it’s water.
As an absentee landowner, you may or may not be aware of how much irrigation water it takes to grow vegetables in a desert. Math time.
Let’s start w. cows. Best figures for cow carrying capacity in landscape similar to Chihuahua are for dry part of CO. Double that for Chihuahua’s longer growing season, and 10 cows would need about 73 acres to live on (wild scrub w no irrigation.)
Cool, so we don’t have to irrigate to feed those cows. All we have to do is give them drinking water. How much? A cow needs about 18.5 gal/day, so 10 of them for a year would need about 67,000 gallons.
67,000 gallons is a decent amount of water.
Now let’s look at how much it takes to grow vegetables on that same land.
Most plant crops need about an acre-inch of water per week.
For the non-farmers and absentee landlords following along, an acre-inch is just how much water it takes to cover an acre of land 1” deep.
It’s about 27,000 gallons.
An acre of crops needs that every single week.
Chihuahua’s got this amazing long growing season. So let’s say a veggie, grain, soybean or other plant protein farm in Chihuahua’s got crops in the ground 40 weeks out of the year.
73 acres x 40 weeks x 27,000 gallons/week = 79 MILLION gallons of water.
That’s a thousand times more water.
It takes a thousand times more water to grow an acre of crops for human consumption, than it takes to grow an acre of cow on wild range.
Again, as an absentee farm owner you may or may not be aware already. But for audience at home, most of Chihuahua’s irrigation water comes from the Rio Conchos.
The river’s drying up so hard that it’s the subject of a dedicated WWF preservation project.
“But that’s not a fair comparison. An acre of crops can feed 10x as many people as an acre of cattle.”
Exactly. A crop-only diet can feed 10x as many people. But it takes 1000x as much water.
In places where there’s limited land and a surplus of water, it makes a lot of sense to optimize for land, so there, grow & eat crops.
And in places where there’s a lot of land and limited water, it makes sense to optimize for water, So there, grow & eat ruminants.
It’s really interesting to me that the conversation around vegetarianism & the environment is so strongly centered on assumptions that every place in the world is on the limited land/surplus plan.
You know what region that describes really well? Northwestern Europe.
In many ways, viewing low/no meat diets as the One True Sustainable Way is very much a vestige of colonialism. It found a farmway that works really well in NW Europe, assumed it must be universal, and tries to apply it to places where it absolutely does not pencil out.
This is superb and really informative for me as a person who is vegan and very keen on environmental concerns without being a racist dick.

yeah! woo!
hey guys, stuart semple just posted this

pass this around, if you could? it seems like a really bold statement with really good intentions

Maybe they also are into grunge

SIGNAL BOOST: HELP US SAVE BROOKLYN NINE-NINE! #SAVEB99
As you might have heard, FOX has decided to cancel Brooklyn Nine-Nine after just five seasons. However, this doesn’t mean it’s the end for our favorite cop comedy. Many shows these days are able to be picked up by digital platforms after cancellation by a major television network.
What you can do to help:
Tweet Netflix, Hulu, TBS & Amazon Prime to pick up the series with the hashtag #saveb99
Request it on Netflix
The more we tweet and actively request for the series to get picked up, the more likely it will be one of the digital platforms decides to revive our favorite show!

This works so well, I am in awe.
“Where are all the gods” right as Thor starts tossing people around
The chorus hits hard at the same time Valkyrie does and her first swing even connects right when the song has what sounds like a sparking sound effect
“He’s gotta be strong” just when Hulk steps in
The small synth flourish timed perfectly with a dramatic Loki hair flip
