“Ate hirm“? Wtf are they censoring?

[–] Aurenkin 100 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I believe unnecessary censorship has become a cheap way to increase engagement

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 month ago

I can*t believe it has come to this.

It's not even censorship, they replaced ' with *, but it's still for the same reason. Every person who has ever done that, conscious misspelling and censorship for engagement, deserve a lead fist to the face.

You just gotta put it in yourself, like this:

Hi’m

Now you try

At this point it seems like they're just throwing around asterisks for ragebait. The algorithm probably figured out that posts containing an asterisk get more engagement, so now they pretty much have to throw it in there to get attention. It's annoying...

I really hope there comes a day where all this nonsense builds up and finally ends with "algorithms" imploding on themselves.

An unrealistic hope, but a hope nonetheless.

Yeah I'm sure it has nothing to do with these two huge animals being locked up in a tiny pool.

Fuck this animal torture carnist bullshit.

Sandtiger sharks cannibalize eachother before they are even born. They're a popular aquarium species and do very well in captivity, including successful captive breeding programs. They very rarely consume their fellow tank mates. Edit : Different species, not a courtship failure, Aquarium staff attributes this to territorial aggression, or an accident bump 'n bite which became a whole meal.

There is also incredible value in having ambassador animals that can inspire the public to care for their natural environment and see them as species worth preserving and making sacrifices for. This animal looks well fed, in good health, and free from spinal deformities that are common with inadequate health and nutrition for this species. I think your concerns are mostly unfounded here.

Yet they are still locked up for the enjoyment of us humans.

People are not inspired to care for their environment, they can watch them in a zoo or aquarium and they don't want to eat less meat/fish and stop ordering junk on Temu.

Some endangered animals can be protected in captivity, which is dumb because we are the reason they are endangered in the first place, but stop putting them on display. Just like the humans species, other animals also do not belong in cages.

A lot of animals in the free world where females eat the males especially after sex or absorb him after is pretty common.

Just figured if you’re gonna be an animal lover you should know this by now.

Shark: noms a shark
