Well... that's two minutes I'll never get back.

This is at least something relatively harmless in the Idaho Legislature so let them waste all of their time on this. Crucial issue! No notes Ledge…

In the clip it says it’s David Spade’s new show, not Dana Carvey. So a little more understandable, famewise.

Accidental Cannibalism...do you non-musician types have ANY idea how long it's gonna take to rehearse all the bands I've had to form from this place?

Bueller?...Bueller??

Heather doesn't seem to be the sharpest knife in the drawer. She also doesn't seem to be able to understand that one can't just dig auntie Freda's body into ones veggie garden because a) it's illegal and b) the neighbourhood racoons would dig her up and spread bits all over the place. Ashes on the other hand - equally illegal but what the neighbours don't know won't hurt them ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

She is suffering from a level of ignorance that only comprehends “compost” to be “what I buy in large bags at the local Big Box store.” That’s what compost *is*, and The Left wants to normalize shredding humans and bagging them up for sale to innocent Christian White People Who Shop at Home Depot, just like her. Obviously.

The fact that this is basically hard, factual truth is...I dunno...sad?

Soylent Green was FICTION!

It was also PEOPLE!

Well, it's a crap video, but it's the only one I can find of the scene.

Oooooh, cannibalism-adjacent book that I don't think has been mentioned:

The Wanting Seed by Anthony Burgess

Several forms of cannibalism are found therein, and it's a solid dystopian fiction. Pretty disturbing, though.

Droogs, it was Droogs…

So, when you say, "$800 for an arm and a leg," do you really mean both? Like both the arm and the leg? We could talk if $800 was for both. Call me.

"A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift makes a lot more sense and sounds tastier. And it would give the anti-abortionists a purpose for the unwanted babies, which they want to neglect after birth anyway.

Mildred Downey Broxon's avatar

"A Modest Proposal" was also bitter political satire.

Maybe's avatar

Which is what we need right now, given how the Repubs are behaving. I suspect one or two Repubs might really think that "A Modest Proposal" is a sound idea.

Just settling in to watch Society of the Snow…oh hey a Wonkette article about cannibalism , what are the odds…

Maybe she was trying to outlaw fellatio and the AI she used to write the bill misunderstood?

Craig Nixon's avatar

This legislation has no teeth, as Bridget Ziegler once (actually) said.

Craig Nixon's avatar

...and there we have it. The visual I didn't know that I did not need.

Dick Fritter's avatar

Most certainly welcome! Here to serve...

Boojum's avatar

You make an interesting point. Would laws prohibiting cannibalism ban swallowing?

Craig Nixon's avatar

"I didn't swallow!" is gonna be the next "I didn't inhale" defense.

Dick Fritter's avatar

Another sign that the apocalypse is upon us!

Dammit. I knew I'd be too late with this one.

Here in central PA the big event is the annual "Farm Show" one of the events involves 4H kids who raise a steer from infancy, groom it, pet it feed it, care for it talk to it every day for a couple of years and then it sell it to the highest bidder to be slaughtered and cut up into steaks.. I suppose that is reality, but to me that is some twisted shit. How the fuck do you do that, and consider yourself "normal"??

Mildred Downey Broxon's avatar

The only possible answer is, we didn't get to the top of the food chain by being nice. And notice that carnivores are smarter than herbivores--takes meat to power a big brain.

It still hurts to think about it, though.

ETA: I once raised a baby swallow and, after getting him situated, visited the State Fair to get a good look at chickens, because my mind was troubled. That swallow (carnivore) was smart. Not so the chickens.

Maybe's avatar

I suppose to them it makes as much sense as raising plants just to eat them. And I'm not sure the steers get that much petting or talking. They are, after all, just things to be used, much like the rest of nature.
