All of this parasitic outbreak discourse has me defending the valor of iceberg lettuce of all things. Like are people deliberately misunderstanding its merits ??? Not everything you add to a meal has to be nutritionally valuable. Is this part of the gym bro dogfood epidemic? You can eat things just bc u like the way it feels in your mouth yknow lmao

You know how we call things "pseudoscience"... the media analysis that's being done on twitter and tumblr should be pseudohumanities

I have a theory that certain niches of zoosadist content are political, and the viewers are using the animal as a replacement for who they actually want to hurt. It's just easier and less risky for them to access content where animals are used. This is based on an exposé a while back that involved a lot of Trump supporters paying for animal torture content, I will let you know if I find/remember the article covering it

Found what I was thinking about

It's not just the flags in the background of this particular video distributor that made me suspect such motives, but if you read the article, the way viewers are talking about and engaging with the content. It's hateful.

the thing about media literacy is that understanding why the author chose to specify that the curtains are blue is the same skill set as understanding that the way the author characterizes all black characters as angry or all chinese characters as meek and silent is racist. it is the same skill set as being able to identify when a news source is biased or when someone is feeding you propaganda. the ability to ask "why did this person choose to present this premise in this specific way?" is a critical skill in a world full of misinformation. why are the curtains blue? maybe it's a characterization detail. maybe it's extraneous worldbuilding. why is this character written as being right all the time? maybe you're intended to disagree with them. maybe it doesn't matter. maybe you should still ask why.

a woman holding her boob should be considered a neutral pensive gesture like when a man scratches his beard

I thought it was really funny when people were like “hey tourists in the US who love ranch dressing, you can make it back at home!” and then give a recipe for it that has like 3 branded American ingredients that you aren’t gonna find in Europe lmao

ive invented (note: dubious claim) something i call the bear diet which is mostly fruits and vegetables with fish as the main protein source and something like once a month you eat a few hyperprocessed foods of your liking because that is when you, the bear, raid a dumpster in the suburbs

[stellarskyes]

after the hyperprocessed foods, do you take tranquilizers to simulate getting captured by animal control and returned to the wild?

i would settle for melatonin gummies but well. knock yourself out

Listen, I know we all very badly want the Official Mitch McConnell Crab Rave (and I still think we have a good chance of getting it), but you gotta admit, the sheer comedic value of ravenously hungering for Mitch Crab Rave for weeks, only for Lindsey Graham to pull a Big Diva Moment (TM) and die instead, was absolutely /chefs kiss/ incredible.
