Video This is the largest single-building pig farm in the world. At 26 storeys high, it can slaughter 1.2 million pigs per year. It was built in Ezhou, China, to help the country's exploding demand for pork. Pork is China's most popular meat, with the country consuming nearly half of global pork demand.

This scale should never need to exist though. This is an atrocious crime of animal abuse. Look up pictures of it. There is also a 50 minute video. This is fucking evil. Fuck their regulations on dealing with waste.

As a recent study showed: we need to cut earths population in half to make it sustainable. https://populationconnection.org/blog/a-world-of-4-billion-researchers-recommend-shrinking-our-global-population-by-more-than-half/

I will volunteer as tribute as soon as my pets die as I won't leave them to the adoption system. I really dont give a shit about living in this fucked up world.

Edit: I am not at risk of self harm or anything, truly. It just would be nice not to be part of the problem, so take me out. It isn't like the human species is going in a good direction anyway. Really it seems like we are going the exact opposite direction. So I say fuck it.

of course its an atrocious crime of animal abuse. I don't think the person was arguing that, really they were just saying the facilities weren't egregiously wasteful. it still shouldn't exist.

Agreed. It is just unfortunate that there is any need for it to exist at all. That is all. We are in alignment.

Just wait until a meteor hits me in the face. I would love to die by getting obliterated by a meteor. Especially if i was on my front porch to watch approach. Slowly. Then become more bright in the sky. Then you can hear it hitting the atmosphere.

Then you look your loved ones in the eye(s) and say, "I love you, this is something only a handful of humans ever ever been able to witness. Let's look death in the eye." And try not to look away as you get wrecked by a rather large meteor.

That is how I wanna go out.

Which unforunarely is really similar to that movie Dont Look Up. Except I have been talking about this to my wife for like 10+ years now, so I win, I just didn't make the money lol.

Then BAM.
