Oh my goodness you can hear the way the tiny creature walks, it's stereo enough that you can hear the little churr go up and down and back and forth as it moves around awwawwawwaww I can't handle it. #birds#ostrich#babybirds https://www.youtube.com/shorts/zvwU4lm0vns
Dear #fediverse, when you think of ingredients, or dish or are deciding what to eat and brute-force in your head combinations of flavours until you figure one that must taste delicious: do you actually taste the ingredients in your tongue as you remember them and are able to compose new flavours out of your memories of multiple ingredients combined?
@fuchsiii really liked it because getting good quality liver is quite hard and the Ostrich Farm sold it quite cheaply since it's not a highly desired cut...
Compared to Beef (7,5-10), Pigs (4-5), Chicken (2-5), and those only reach the lower numbers by shoving tons of soy (that could otherwise be eaten by humans directly) into them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feed_conversion_ratio
The US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has just developed a tool, called Babel X, which links social media posts to citizens' Social Security number and location data.
It's not just abuse by surveillance capitalists we must concern ourselves with. It's also governments.
This is all the more reason that people must not only examine how they use social media, but consider owning their social media presence as well.
Never has the idea of a #Fediverse been so important.
