  • To be fair it’s an extraordinarily difficult game of whack-a-mole.

    You want no more AI? Excellent we haven’t agreed upon goal, now the problem is that new websites that crank out slop are constantly popping up to proliferate the internet with it. Oh and the slop is getting harder to differentiate as the technology improves because I’m going to be real I’ve seen some images that I was told by a third party were AI and I just couldn’t tell anymore, and sometimes it doesn’t come from one of these dedicated slop farm sites.

    Claiming that all textiles should be derived exclusively from plants oversimplifies the ecological tradeoffs involved. Animal fibers, particularly wool, are not a major driver of environmental harm compared to many common alternatives.

    Wool production relies on sheep that have been selectively bred over centuries to continuously grow fleece. For most modern breeds, regular shearing is not optional; without it, the animals are at risk of heat stress, impaired mobility, skin infections, and parasitic infestations. Shearing itself is not inherently harmful when done correctly and is a routine husbandry practice required for animal welfare rather than an exploitative excess.

    There are documented cases of escaped domestic sheep accumulating extreme amounts of fleece over time, resulting in serious health detriment for the animal. These cases illustrate that wool removal is not merely convenient for humans but necessary for animals that can no longer self-regulate their coats in the wild.

    From a materials perspective, wool has several environmental advantages. It is biodegradable, long lasting, naturally insulating, odor-resistant, and flame retardant without chemical treatment. In contrast, most synthetic textiles shed microplastics during washing and wear, contributing persistently to aquatic and terrestrial pollution. Even plant based fibers often require intensive land use, water consumption, pesticides, and chemical processing, particularly for crops like cotton.

    This of course does not mean wool production is impact free. Poor land management, overgrazing, and methane emissions are real concerns and should be addressed through better agricultural practices rather than ignored. However, when evaluated relative to synthetic textiles and many industrial plant fibers, responsibly produced wool is among the lower-impact options available for clothing. I read that bamboo fiber actually takes an immense amount of water to produce for example.

    The broader point I’m trying to establish is that ecological harm is not determined solely by whether a fiber is animal or plant derived.

    Durability, biodegradability, land use, chemical inputs, and pollution across the full lifecycle matter more than origin alone. A blanket rejection of animal fibers risks replacing a relatively low-impact material with alternatives that cause greater long-term environmental damage.







  • I don’t want toot my own horn but I think I could do a little better than fucking Morty who is an idiot.

    Like yeah I think I would definitely fucking save like, press the button 20 times just to make absolutely fucking sure when I got rescued from the plane crash.

    The fact that it’s sitting in a place where his dad can get it means that he definitely still was aware of it he just fucking didn’t save???

    Like bro anyone who plays a game like Skyrim or fallout would do much better with that shit than him.

    Honestly the scarier option is accidentally saving before your imminent demise in a way that you can’t avert. Like if you remember that one futurama episode where Fry gets a device that lets him travel back in time one minute that he steals from the professor and winds up stuck falling from a skyscraper forever until the plot bails him out.
