@HobbitGamer None of those solutions are worth thanking anyone for.
Humans are the only animal who's waste products serve no purpose, other than to stack up and pollute and bother the planet. All animal waste gets absorbed back into nature in whatever way possible.

You should read the articles I linked to. They're all single page articles, so you'll get through them in a couple of minutes, but they offer some wonderful insights nonetheless.

In one of them (I believe the first) there's another key example that sets us apart, namely our unnatural cravings, which once again, serve no purpose to any other creature or plant.

P.S.

Here you go:

@NEStalgia "Humans are carnivores"

Oh, NES... (shakes head)

I think it's safe to say, we're done here.

On a side note: it's of course never about OTHER people's children and family, it's about your own. Even if you don't have any now (yet). And why wouldn't you want your own children, or the children in your family, to grow up in a world that's still worth living in, instead of being ruined by stubborn b******s like a lot of the people from our generation?

And we're omnivores, by the way. I don't like/understand vegetarians, much less vegans, because especially the latter are often also extremists, but I do like and understand the need for variety in a diet, and with the way we produce meat, there isn't a single doubt in my mind that a meat-only diet will do more harm than good to any person, so the joy you might get from consuming it, will come back to bite you in the hind quarters more than once...

I'd say we better table this discussion, because I don't think we're really getting anywhere. So, we should probably go back to discussing trains.

Errr.... Oh no, what am I saying? Now look what you made me do...

"Humans are the only animal who's waste products serve no purpose, other than to stack up and pollute and bother the planet. All animal waste gets absorbed back into nature in whatever way possible."

And that's why i created my Utopia, my Fantasy universe inspired by Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon Animal Parade. Care to listen ? 😉

In my universe, there were a creator, the "God" who create the universe. The creator created both two divine deities as the creator's partner. They are God of Creation and Goddess of Wisdom. Both of them were inspired from Harvest King and Harvest Goddess from Harvest Moon Animal Parade. They have duty to create an Utopia planet, based on the creator vision and mission. The God created the Utopian planet with all water creatures. But when the God wanted to create the other animals, Goddess had better ideas. She suggested the other animals should be live together with humans. The God created all the animals that only living on Utopian planet: Mammals and Avian as main creatures while Insect, Sea creatures as their living source. The Goddess evolved all the Mammals and Avian into Anthromorphic Animals as human partner right after the God created human.

The God and Goddess also explained to their creation how did their creations living together. God taught humans and Anthro animals how to mining the minerals,
caught fishes and processing into edible foods since on my planet both humans and Anthro carnivores only eat sea foods for the meat they can eat. Meanwhile, Goddess taught humans and Anthro Herbivores to keep healthy by consume more vegetables and taught them how to tend gardening, farming and processing vegetarian products. Because of that, there is no animal products for furnitures and other intruments such as violin, piano, etc. They were made 100% Free Animal products. Ever since they have been taught by God and Goddess teachings, there were a lot of Goddess followers (approximately 70%) care to be vegetarian. But, both God and Goddess didn't create anything harmful for both humans and anthro animals such as tabacco, other plants with possibly turned into illegal drugs. It has been calculated carefully by the creator and the creator didn't even want to create something with possibly harmful. The creator is watching over the Utopian planet everytime directly and if something wrong happened on Utopian planet, God and Goddess will be called to investigate and fix the situation with their mighty powers, bestowed by the creator. Unlike here in real world, God and Goddess were oftenly appeared on Utopian planet so peoples were really believe and worship them as real gods.

But nothing perfect from their creations, even from the creator's ideas. One day there were a feud between Anthro crow / raven with other anthro birds due to anthro black birds bad behaviours. The feud lead to war, until the God was angry and wanted to punish them. But Goddess have better ideas by created an Anthro Eagles as the mediator and Anthro Eagles were considered as the Highest class of Anthro Avian. After the war stopped, Anthro Eagles gave some appreciation to both God and Goddess by creating a friendly tournament that called Avian Kickboxing to commemorate the battles between Anthro Avians. Anthro Eagles were an unique creation by Goddess. They were pretty smart, have some good manners and they were considered as Noble class. At the first, God and Goddess didn't really agree with Avian Kickboxing idea but after Anthro Eagles could convince both God and Goddess the reasons behind that friendly tournament, both of them allowed the idea of Avian kickboxing after the creator has listened from Anthro eagles and give them permit. And there was the beginning of my Avian Kickboxing started....

Oh, if you are wondering who is the creator anyway, the creator itself is actually me ! Myself as the creator 😉

@Anti-Matter hmm, i can't see them ever redesigning the turn based jrpg mechanics as long as it's selling. That was a core design for the whole series creation, using Shin Megami Tensei as a model. But i could see a spinoff arpg happening.

@Anti-Matter No, I'm not wondering about that at all. Actually not about any of it...

@Octane And they would all look like scarily uber-muscled chibi man children...

@RedderRugfish Who needs a six pack or any kind of muscles, if you have the power of the Lord on your side?

@ThanosReXXX the more we discuss it the less passively and more actively i want to be destructive.

As for meat it's a wash. Pink slime and antibiotics in one side and nutrient less veggies modified in a lab to be saturated with maximum amounts of whatever Monsantos latest incarnation of agent orange is. All in chemical water. It's a wash there.

But it's all irrelevant. Any idea you'd have leading to forcing it manipulating people into that life leads one step closer to the depopulation scenario i said was inevitable.... And resistance to it simply accelerates it... Which is why it's inevitable! I suppose war or cataclysm is preferable to plague or famine in terms of suffering population... So hopefully those happen first. I'm not cruel...i don't wish suffering among population... Just large scale extermination. Never let it be said I'm uncaring!

Edit:. It is about other people's children. The problem exists because of overpopulation. The population doubles every decade. I didn't double the population. Neither did you. All these "changes" are about accommodating the product of reckless imbeciles breeding excess population rather than keeping population in check. There's no balance without getting the numbers back to sustainable, symbiotic values. Which requires very intentional breeding reduction EVERYWHERE by force it choice over several generations. Or a more overt pruning of the excess. Or letting nature do it. Which it will.

Edit2: after reading antis post, are you sure you aren't ready to take your place at my side and help raze this world?

I finally got to see Aladdin. I thought it was really well done, but I slightly prefer the animated movie. I'd definitely watch it again.

And I watched it just in time to make room for The Lion King. 🤩

@RedderRugfish Still the best I’ve seen is the sister being convinced by her brothers that they’re in the midst of a zombie outbreak.

I must’ve used my arm the wrong way when I was as changing the belt and blades on the mower today, because my neck is killing me from tightened shoulder muscles. In retrospect, tipping the riding mower to one side and holding it there to drain oil faster probably did it. Ugh

When I got mine removed, the dentist only applied local anesthesia. No funny hallucinations for me.

On the brighter side, I also skipped the severe pain and balloon head phase, since it didn’t require any cutting or stitching.

I hope yours goes well!

I see a certain post in a certain news comments thread was removed. GG, mods, GG.

@RedderRugfish If it continues to drop consistently the world might actually fix itself eventually, however those numbers you offer are suspect. It's no secret the industrial world has declined in birth rate, but the "developing" world has been breeting rapidly enough to double it's population every decade. I hadn't heard that magically slowed, but if it has that's only good news.

As for the industrial world, "crisis" due to population decline in overpopulated but prosperous countries is purely the result of Keynesian/Socialist Ponzi schemes cooked up in the mid 20th century that require an ever increasing number of workers to pay for each generation of elders, not because population decline in and of itself would be bad. They broke a realistic economic model with one that depends on unsustainable growing numbers forever and ever and then declare it a crisis when the obvious problem you could see coming from a thousand miles away actually happens. It's a "problem" but it's a problem manufactured by political morons that have been dead for a quarter century.

@Ryu_Niiyama Speaking of squeamishness about eyes, not all the money in the world could even get me to try contacts....let alone Lasik....

@NEStalgia Contacts creep me out...despite technically using one that is bigger than a quarter. However I'm slightly desperate to preserve my vision so Lasik sounds nice, but I'd be the one they mess up and then I gotta get a stick and a dog. ...I wonder if you can train a rabbit to be a seeing eye pet. Granted they are too quiet for the job...

@Ryu_Niiyama That's funny, and surprising you'd be creeped out by contacts considering you pop the whole eye in and out like it's nothing and use it as a projectile!

But yeah, I hear you. If Murphy's law were to be used as jurisprudence in a court decision, I would be the cited precedent in the ruling. Apparently you may be a secondary precedent to reference...

A seeing eye bunny is still better than a seeing eye cat.

@NEStalgia True but given that the way these things are made is they inject PLASTER into you head... and you have to look as straight as possible for like 2 hours while it sets (and while I have an allergic reaction) you get over the "it's in my head" squick quick (the process has since improved but still, plaster). But contacts...shudder That is why Hylia made so many stylish and wonderful frames. I'm not going to fight with my blink reflex for 20 mins to look cute.

Also, f cats.

@Ryu_Niiyama Pretty good overall so far. I'm recovering fine; Lasik has a relatively short recovery time in terms of eye healing. My vision is still fluctuating a little and will for a month or two yet (at least), but it's a short-term side effect. It'll take my vision longer than some to stabilize since my prescription was higher. I was roughly at a -6 in each eye (rounded), which is borderline severe myopia. I'm dealing with some dry eye, but that's another short-term issue that isn't helped much by my job or hobbies.

Unaided, I can see much better than I've been able to in years. It's so nice to not have to mess with smeary, limited glasses and mess with contact solution. I was used to contacts and liked them overall, but it does take some getting used to when you're repeatedly touching your own eye.

I Lol'd at the seeing eye bunny concept. While I love cats, they definitely wouldn't be the best seeing eye pet.

@NEStalgia Trust me, I did a LOT of research and talked to my fair share of people who had it done before deciding to do the procedure. I'd honestly repeat the experience - not that it was all sunshine and roses, particularly the rest of the day after it was done - but preferably not anytime soon. XD I kind of figured I'd be one of those one-off cases too, but so far I've been proven wrong.

@Tyranexx good to hear that. For me, my only motto is if it ain't broke don't fix it, and if it's slightly broke, just try to scotch tape or and see how long it holds..... I'd descend into looking like whats his name with the red stapler in office space before anyone beams a phaser into my retina.
