Evidence That Gut Microbes May Directly Influence Our Aging

This Is NOT An Anti Meat Video

I don't have a strong opinion on this matter. I believe animals should be treated humanely but without excessive costs. 

We often attribute human characteristics to animals. However, humans have 86 billion neurons in their brains, while a chicken has only 200 million. Their thought processes are not like ours and are largely instinctual. 

I've heard that dogs' brains are designed to remember what is good and bad, but they react primarily based on instinct and learned associations. Dogs have approximately 2.25 billion neurons, while cats have around 750 million. 

Cows have about 3 billion neurons, and pigs have nearly the same as dogs. 

This doesn't mean that animals can't suffer or shouldn't be treated humanely. 

BTW, according to Google, ants have around 250,000 neurons, though I previously read that they have only 7,000. Their brains are so simple that they don't sleep. An ant cannot function outside of its group, as it depends on chemical signals from other ants to guide its behavior. If isolated, an ant will die. This is also true for other hive insects.

Some things would have been inevitable.  Minus Columbus, Europe would have discovered the Americas eventually.  The Vikings had a colony in Newfoundland in 1021 AD.

The Story of Chunk the Groundhog. Narrated by Gardener Jeff.

Been watching this guy occasionally on YouTube for years. There are only so many videos of groundhogs I can find entertaining, but it is cute.

https://youtu.be/3nS6OqHT7aU?si=0FS3JbHHy_hsJsAS

The guy fortified his garden but started putting out vegetables for the groundhogs so that he could record them for his YouTube channel.

A long time ago my father advised to never feed wild animals. You make them dependent. Animals know how to find food. However, I'm more worried about rabies, which is a deadly disease and especially common among raccoons. I've saw a video of a kind old lady feeding a bunch of raccoons. This can be dangerous.

Abigail Shrier: How the Gender Fever Finally Broke

When the history of 21st-century gender mania is written, it should include this signal entry: In 2020, a website called GoFundMe, usually a place to find disaster-relief appeals and charities for starving children, contained more than 30,000 urgent appeals from young women seeking to remove their perfectly healthy breasts.

Another entry, from June 2020: The New England Journal of Medicine, America's platinum medical publication, published a piece explaining that biological sex is actually "assigned at birth" by a doctor—and not a verifiable fact, based on our gametes, stamped into every one of our cells. In fact, biological sex ought to be deleted from our birth certificates—the authors claimed—because a person's biological sex serves "no clinical utility." Breaking news to gynecologists.

Public schools began asking elementary kids whether they might like to identify as "genderqueer" or "nonbinary." Any dissent from this gender movement was met with suppression. The American Civil Liberties Union's most prominent lawyer, Chase Strangio, announced his intention to suppress Irreversible Damage, my book-length investigation into the sudden spike in transgender identification among teen girls. "Stopping the circulation of this book and these ideas is 100% a hill I will die on," he tweeted. Weeks later, Amazon deleted Ryan Anderson's book criticizing the transgender medical industry.
