Eating fruit and vegetable scraps such as peels and stalks could provide a health boost that most of us are missing, say UK researchers.
They say scraps are an overlooked source of dietary fibre and are encouraging people to try “root-to-tip” eating, including watermelon rind, pineapple core and butternut squash seeds.

I was going to agree with the article, but nevermind. There has to be a better way to get your fiber.
I don’t think you should be discounting the Iran war like that. Unless you’re combining them both with whatever other conflicts that are bound to come up into a WW2.5 if not a full blown WW3.
I don’t think you can see a comment’s edit history, or at the very least I don’t know how to do it.
I can’t imagine a reason to not tax them for 99% of their wealth, unless they’re the ones controlling the legislation.
You were literally proving their point and got attacked for it. Must be frustrating.
As the title of the post might suggest, Monster Hunter. I don’t know which one specifically though, it’d be one of the newer ones.
An inverted appeal to authority? Because a famous philosopher hated a new thing that ended up being good, you want to assume all new things will be good.
It would also be an over-generalization because it isn’t considering the reasons Plato was against books and if all new technologies and changes would have any relation to those reasons.
Maybe in the future, cows won’t produce methane and we’ll just have to worry about land use and the efficiency of raising cows for food. But historically and presently, they produce a huge amount of methane and contribute significantly to climate change.
I also note that the methane isn’t a big problem, cattle methane is probably tiny compared to fossil methane
This specifically is why I replied to you: you didn’t know something, made a guess, and were very wrong about it.
and yet the methane overhead of a cow is stable, and doesn’t grow over time, its not a net contributor.
Emissions have increased by 5.2 percent (9.5 MMT CO2 Eq.) since 1990. This increase in emissions from 1990 to 2022 generally follows the increasing trends in cattle populations.
You really just don’t bother reading things if they go against your world view, don’t you?
That’s also an old QAnon conspiracy and why Comet Ping Pong got shot up a decade ago. Please exercise skepticism and don’t commit any terror attacks.
Methane (CH4) is significantly more effective than CO2 at trapping heat in the atmosphere: by a factor of 28 over a 100-year time frame based on the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report estimate (IPCC 2013). Over the last 250 years, the concentration of CH4 in the atmosphere increased by 161.9 percent (IPCC 2013; NOAA/ESRL 2024b). Within the United States, the main anthropogenic sources of CH4 include enteric fermentation from domestic livestock, natural gas systems, landfills, domestic livestock manure management, flooded land, coal mining, and petroleum systems (see Figure ES-8).
Significant trends for the largest sources of anthropogenic CH4 emissions include the following:
- Enteric fermentation was the largest anthropogenic source of CH4 emissions in the United States in 2022, accounting for 27.4 percent of total CH4 emissions and 3.0 percent of total gross emissions. Emissions have increased by 5.2 percent (9.5 MMT CO2 Eq.) since 1990. This increase in emissions from 1990 to 2022 generally follows the increasing trends in cattle populations.
- Natural gas systems were the second largest anthropogenic source category of CH4 emissions in the United States in 2022, accounting for 24.6 percent of total CH4 emissions and 2.7 percent of total gross emissions. Emissions have decreased by 20.9 percent (45.7 MMT CO2 Eq.) since 1990, largely due to decreases in emissions from distribution, transmission, and storage.

Methane from cows and other livestock is absolutely a big problem, it’s more than all the known gas leaks from fossil fuels in the United States. There are probably a lot more gas leaks we don’t know about, but that doesn’t diminish just how much methane we know livestock produces.
it was a non-sequitur, it had nothing to do with the biocycle.
Because your post is about pollutants, remember? Cows produce excessive amounts of methane, which is a very potent greenhouse gas.
I don’t see this as a problem, we have a billion people with type 2 diabetes, getting them off carbs would have a huge improvement in their lives, health, and environmental impact (being sick is expensive).
I don’t know why I bother talking to you.
Also, the population of cows currently on earth is unnaturally high, and convincing more people to adopt a carnivore diet would only raise it more.
I don’t know if you just don’t bother reading things or if you silently disagree with and ignore them.
Nonsense, there are no good cops.
The Beekse Bergen Safari Park said in a statement that the woman, whose name has been withheld in accordance with Dutch privacy law, had passed away after she suffered serious wounds to her head and neck on Saturday while working in an enclosure with two male Persian leopards. “Her passing deeply affects us all, and we sympathize intensely with her family, friends, and loved ones,” the zoo in the southern town of Hilvarenbeek said in a statement, which was made together with her family. The woman began working at the zoo when she was 17 and spent nearly all of her 40-year career there.
No, just some details about her death and how she’ll be missed.
Bird–window collisions (also known as bird strikes after the aviation term or as window strikes) are a problem in both low- and high-density areas worldwide. Birds strike glass because reflective or transparent glass is often invisible to them.[1] Previous research estimated that between 100 million and 1 billion birds are killed by collisions in the United States annually,[2] but a 2024 study on the survival rate of bird-building collision victims indicates that previous research was vastly underestimating the number of deaths caused by collisions, and in actuality well over 1 billion birds die from collisions in the United States every year.

The ducks that were able to walk away were lucky, probably not flying at full speed yet. And they were still probably concussed afterwards.
Methane (CH4) in the Earth’s atmosphere is a powerful greenhouse gas with a global warming potential (GWP) 84 times greater than CO2 over a 20-year time frame. Methane is not as persistent as CO2, and tails off to about 28 times greater than CO2 over a 100-year time frame.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_methane
Converting CO2 to grass then methane is significantly worse than having it go back as CO2 in a stable cycle. We need to rapidly stop greenhouse gas emissions in the next few decades, because we’re already starting to see how bad climate change is going to be.
Also, the population of cows currently on earth is unnaturally high, and convincing more people to adopt a carnivore diet would only raise it more.
No one buys games on Epic, so releasing there doesn’t really compete with steam sales.
I think it boils down to not trusting you to argue in good faith to begin with. You are, after all, the same person that sent me a UN article about how some plants can contain toxins in response to me asking why herbs and spices are bad for you and ultimately wanted me to read a self help book instead of actually explaining why you think herbs and spices are bad for you. And now you’re just having chatGPT write your responses.
Edit: and my math was wrong, I forgot a square kilometer was 1 million square meters instead of 1,000.
Even using your graph’s exact 326.21 m²/kg, it’s 3.334 million km²
So it would take up a little under half of Australia’s total land mass, in a famously empty country.
At 500 g/day of animal food, including edible fat and organs, that becomes 1.667 million km², roughly 22% of Australia
I don’t know why you think this part is okay when you’re arguing “carnivore isn’t a priveledge” as if anyone anywhere could do it, but fine. The average person only needs to eat 500g of food per day. This still wouldn’t work for anyone in a country about 4.5 times as densely populated as Australia, which according to wikipedia is… 219 of them out of 244.
First of all, regarding the quality of the asset: This banner was a work-in-progress asset that we mistakenly allowed to be displayed on the storefront. This shouldn’t have happened. We failed on at least two levels: Quality-control of the asset that landed on the front page, and then reacting quickly enough when we noticed the error.
Second, I want to confirm that this WIP asset was indeed made with the help of Al tools. We hear your disappointment with the use of this technology, and see that it’s a sensitive topic for many of you.
I also want to be honest about how we chose to explore technology: We don’t have the infinite resources of the industry giants. We’re a dedicated, but small team, working our asses off every day for game preservation. To keep that mission alive, bring more games back to life, and make more games DRM-free, we experiment with tools that can allow us to do more with the limited hands we have.
We’ve been testing different technologies since our beginnings. Some experiments are successful, and some (like this banner) are not. Exploring various tech gives us the reach of a much larger team, so we never have to settle for doing less.
I’m not sure how much you should really be relying on GOG to be anti-AI. They haven’t been caught using AI images since, but “We failed on at least two levels: Quality-control of the asset that landed on the front page” implies that they’re fine with AI so long as you can’t really tell.
Care to show your work on that one? If we assume a carnivore diet would need about 1 kg of meat per day, beef herds need over 300 m2 of land per kg of food produced and Australia has a population of around 28 million, you’d need 8.4 million km2 of land to raise that beef and Australia, a continent famous for having a low population density and according to wikipedia less than 7.7 million km2, doesn’t have enough land to feed its own population.
Where are you getting the idea that ruminants raised for meat are more efficient than crops? And we’re not even getting into the climate change implications of everyone switching to an all/mostly meat diet.

I hadn’t heard of it either
