Transcribing the conversation here:

Recessa, ↑4 ↓1: That's completely idiotic, milk exist because there's demand for it.

commie, ↑1 ↓4: I think you understand that milk is produced as part of the mammalian reproductive cycle. can you describe the causal steps between demanding milk and it's production?

friendlymessage, ↑3 ↓2: Do you think dairy cattle just randomly spawns on the planetary surface?

commie, ↑1 ↓3: do you think there's a direct causal link between drinking milk and more being produced?

friendlymessage, ↑3: Are you fucking with me?

commie, ↑2 ↓3: no. I'm trying to illustrate that markets are not governed by natural law; they are populated by irrational actors.

friendlymessage, ↑2 ↓1: Yeah, but they're not as irrational as you are and producing milk costs money. If there's no market, they will stop because they are not fuckin lunatics and they don't have infinite resources

commie, ↑2 ↓2: milk was farmed before markets existed. there is no reason to believe that will ever stop.

friendlymessage, ↑3 ↓1: That... must be the dumbest discussion I've had in a while. Please read through your comments tomorrow when you're sober

commie, ↑1 ↓1: I've been sober all day.

friendlymessage, ↑1: Okay, whatever you say

commie, ↑1 ↓2: everything I've said is true. you're objecting to reality, and being pretty shitty about it to me.

friendlymessage, ↑2: No, you're just making a no sensical argument at all. Milk was farmed from dairy cattle because it was consumed by humans. It's simple supply and demand. There is no rational argument at all that if mankind stopped consuming milk, it would still be farmed. Why would any farmer go through the effort to upkeep cows and keep them impregnanted to make them produce milk if they cannot trade it or won't consume it? Yes, humans have free will but they won't produce stuff with very high effort just for fun. Except maybe very sick minds that just enjoy animal cruelty. And you won't elaborate what your actual point is anyway.

Also, not that it matters, but you're arguing that dairy farming existed before the market is simply wrong. There has been trade between human civilizations long before we started domesticating animals.

Aren't these 'girl with blue hair' jokes a bit old already?

We could send him to Mars as he's so enthusiastic about it.

Girl how on earth do you look like a supermodel 24/7 when you're living in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, scavenging among ruins and debris for food so you won't have to resort to cannibalism??

This looks like a parody of all those bullshit incel images explaining how a woman's vagina will become loose if she's promiscuous.

I've been thinking about collecting dandelion sap (y'know, the white stuff inside the stem) for a while, but I can't find anything about how to collect it because duckduckgo only shows unrelated results.

The chocolate industry also does a lot of slavery.

I have lately been pretty convinced that 70% of pickup drivers don't actually need a truck but instead use it to compensate their insecurity about their small dicks and their fragile masculinity.

European here, these are what different states or areas of the USA remind me of (like what's the first think I think of when I hear it's name):

  • Southern states: right wing twats
  • Alabama: incest
  • Florida: gators and really, really weird news headlines
  • Texas: stupidly large trucks, guns and cowboys
  • Alaska: cold, that one goldrush
  • California: expensive, liberal
  • Ohio: those fucking memes
  • Hawaii: warm, colonialism
  • Mississippi: riverboats
  • Washington: why the hell is the city of Washington not in Washington?

I was supposed to eat, now that I remembered the existence of this practice, I'm not that hungry anymore.

The words "seed-bombed the bed" make me very, very uncomfortable.
