I feel that. Normal day to day life: a million things to juggle and I don't even know where to start. Crisis: one thing to worry about so I go all hyper focus--100% of neurons are all engaged toward singular purpose.
Oh and potato chips? Forget about it. Dill pickle, salt and vinegar, ketchup... We can't be expected to go on without ketchup chips. Looks like big red has got us this time boys. 😋
Because every time the US elite needs to distract the crazies they whip out the UFO circuses and the rubes lap that shit up. Honestly it's getting embarrassing for all parties involved.
You wanna know why aliens don't visit this planet?

Yeah but you guys still have the guillotines in storage or something though, right? Might be time to dust them off.
Nah I can't do supplements, and the B12 in nutritional yeast isnt naturally occuring. Some microorganisms do produce B12 but not the ones they use to make nooch. I know, I was surprised to.
I did some more research though, and I do have a source of B12. Remember I said I was using seaweed for fertilization?
Boom: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11430774/
I can just eat the seaweed. 😂
In fact, it appears my people have a long history of eating seaweed: https://www.wildwalks-southwest.co.uk/all-about-laverbread/ (didn't know that existed!)
So I guess I'll go vegan. You win. The crickets will be disappointed that they're getting evicted but I'm sure they'll get over it.
I'm going to go 6 months eating just seaweed and potatoes, while doing blood work to check my nutrient levels. I'll let you know if I don't die 😅. Thanks for all your help.
Can I just say... It is a joy to argue with you. I mean that sincerely.
Okay, I read up on what sentience actually is and a few studies on insect sentience, social lives and capacity for pain. Having spent a lot of time with the little critters, I can see their point. Like they're obviously social for one. Sometimes they really seem like they're thinking. I don't know.
Let's say in principle I agree with you. How am I supposed to not die of anemia from lack of vitamin B12? I didn't want to do laying hens for obvious reasons. Mushrooms have some B12 and I do grow them, but it's not gonna be enough to keep you healthy long term. And don't say supplements or fortified foods... I need something I can grow or forage locally.
What am I missing here?
PS. I dunno know about the taste buds thing, they're okay but not delicious 😅
