Please don't tell anyone where this is. Let it be a secret. Let it be left alone to be magical and natural, even if no one is there to see it. Let there be one undisturbed wonder of the world. It doesn't need a YouTube channel; it doesn't need a million Instagram followers; it doesn't need to be shared a trillion times on Facebook -- the Fireflies are doing perfectly fine on their own.

I always wondered what First World problems look like!

Anyone know the plot of this yet? Why is Wonder Woman in World War I?

I have to strongly disagree with the suggestion that animals are killed and tortured for my "taste preferences" and "pleasure".

It gives me no pleasure that an animal has to die for me to eat. My pleasure in the consumption of that animal is a fleeting, automatic chemical reaction triggered in my body. In an evolutionary sense, i only receive this pleasure because it prolongs the survival of my species to feel it.

Most of these arguments reek of over simplification and ignorance to the reality of the society westerners live in.

In ideal conditions, i would eat meat from animals that i tended, who died of natural causes (mostly old age i assume) which i would personally butcher. In reality, it is not possible and even if it were possible for one person, it would not be possible for every person - we have limited space, limited resources, limits placed by law, limits on our time. As well as the cost of the land, I would have to hope enough animals died naturally to sell enough humane meat to pay taxes on the land and maintain my farming equipment, buy grain for the animals and so on. Or maybe i could grow my own grain and use primitive DIY tools, but then i'd probably need help for all the farming i'd have to do every day and now i'd need enough animals to die to feed three, so more land, more grain... Oops, it looks like this is getting complicated doesn't it. Shall we keep going until we reach a society of 70 odd million people, or should we consider that the problem is far more complicated than comments here would care to acknowledge?

Furthermore gluten is often the primary protein source for vegans, but i have a disease that requires me to avoid that protein in entirety. The smug, holier-than-thou field radiating from certain commenters here will i'm sure extend far enough to condescendingly say "ah, but you can be a vegan and avoid gluten, you poor, uneducated, smiling murderer!" Yes, and you could live your life without ever being touched by the sun's rays, or sail a small sailboat without ever getting wet, not even a droplet. And how can we know what effect gluten-free-veganism may have on public health when it is extended to a population of 7 billion? What a dangerous experiment to salivate over - reckless and potentially harmful in a way that a butcher could never hope to be.

It would be wonderful if the world was ideal. I wouldn't have this disease, and all people of the world could enjoy their own 10 acre farm and eat only those animals whose time had come. Unfortunately when i am abroad, away from home, the only source of protein that i can entirely trust might perhaps be a roast chicken. And i will eat it, the only true pleasure from which i take is that i will not spend the next three days doubled up in bed.

There are people worse off than me, but i don't know enough about their situation to use it as a point in this discussion. To people like me, the language used by some people here makes me think of someone dancing around at a diabetics convention shouting "I can't believe you losers have to use insulin! I hope you all realise that drug addicts use needles!"

I reject any notion that these people have a moral advantage over me. Have any of them ever heard of walking a mile in another man's shoes, or does their narrow mind only reach as far as "ME"?

By the way, plants are also alive. Or is this about sentient life? Shall we move on to abortion then, if non-sentient life is ok to end? Shall we have the philosophical discussion about degrees of sentience and types of sentience and whether we can even know if a plant has its own brand of sentience? If yes, let's try to at least do it without you being smug and in return without me being sarcastic.

Worrying about how people treat vegans? How about the language used to describe people who have no choice in the matter, lest that choice be never leave your own house and eat only this very small list of things which you may or may not find too disgusting to stomach? Am i to live in misery and squander my life so that a chicken could have an extra 2 years to run in circles? This issue is not fucking black and white despite the attempts to paint it so.

If you've never seen a giant redwood tree in person, you're missing out on one of the 7 natural wonders of the world. Endor is real, it exists in Northern California, but there's not really any Ewoks, sorry. Even without them, there's nothing to compare with a 300+ foot high forest of trees. Pictures, film, articles, none of them convey the astonishing majesty of the largest living single organisms on earth. Go see them at least once in your life, you won't regret it.

Don't forget to check out the TED talk this was based on. Or if you prefer reading, Monbiot's book "Feral".

Either he lied to you or their retention is not very high. Possessing the amount of storage it would take just to log packet headers for all internet communications is would be an 8th Wonder of the World kinda feat. Keeping the actual data would be practically impossible.

I recall it being:

Load "*" ,8 ,1
RUN

Probably only for that which was the sole app on the disk. Man, just typing that made me nostalgic.

That aside, I really miss the era of the BBS. Back before corporations and government stuck their dirty cocks in such a wonderful (albeit slow) world of user-created socialism. Share and share alike, and if someone caught you with a virus, you cursed just as much as you marveled at their engineering ingenuity.

I wonder what the world would look like if politicians first born had to serve in the military.

An edible product that induces munchies. Wonder if the world will finally get to find out what an overdose of cannabis is like

WAR WAR WAR KILL KILL KILL! Do they wonder why the world 'hates their freedoms'?

I wonder what the world record is for actually _digesting_ a 72oz steak. 72 hours?

The hidden joke being that Pilkington is, in fact, the 8th Wonder of the World.
