Isn't it for all animals. If you keep slowly increasing temperature their body temperature will more easily come to equilibrium with outside temperature than it will if you just put them to hot boiling pot?
Lobsters
“The guy trying to help me out of a pot is a different type of left than me, so i don’t want his help, and that other guy below me is also a different type of left so fuck him. Anyone who is slightly right or left of me is a fascist and I’m gonna enjoy watching them boil”
-the American left in 2024
People from all over the world are trying to get into this boiling pot. Despite America's flaws, very few places are better alternatives when you look at economic opportunity and political rights. It is popular to trash on America now because who is president for the next four years but there's also only so many things he can do with an executive order and Congress isn't a fast moving engine.
I hope America will have democratic elections in four years. But I won't be surprised if it doesn't happen.
Trump is a fascist, has both chambers and the supreme Court behind him. At best, it's going to be a very dark four years for minorities, women and poor people.
Have you ever travelled? Scandinavia is miles better than the US, as is Iceland and most European countries I have been, too. Cleaner, safer, no guns, free healthcare, better welfare, maternity leave, minimum 4 weeks holiday and so on and so forth. Yes you get a lot of immigrants but so does everyone else, America is not special in that regard. It was a decent country to live in before Trump but now not so much.
You’re out to lunch, musk is couping the government and breaking it on purpose.
The technofascists want their fiefdoms and they’re trying to kill most of us so they can rule the rubble. Curtis yarvin, look him up.
Huffing a bit much on copium n.americanium?
Drank the Koolade huh?
The US has been looked-down upon by the world for a long, long time. Now we're just starting to feel bad for you.
Edit: downvoted by americans I see - please note that despite the internal propaganda you've been fed, most of the world is laughing at you. "Acting like an american" is something we say if someone is being obnoxious or stupid. Traveling abroad as a Canadian, if someone asks if I'm american, I correct them, because the world would much rather deal with Canadians than americans. Sorry the truth hurts.
That's what the woke mob would have you believe! The water isn't getting warmer at all! Believe me!
jordan peterson has some knowledge about lobsters he'd like to share with you.
i don't know US pedons being obideint dogs is anything new... look nazi germany and look at russia. same basic premises, daddy worshiping and oligarch bootlicking.
in other words, this is the human condition because normie needs to feelz good.
Also the only animal whose greed and hoarding behavior outdoes it's conspecific altruism.
USA != America
Showerthoughts
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
