It was just a point to illustrate the lack of functionality of a tattoo, and I hold my hands up, I have no response for why a tattoo needs to be functional.

Re: Tattoo thread
I've never really understood what a tattoo can achieve that a bumper sticker or hallway art can't. I have no issues with people who have meaningful defining things they want to take to the grave: family stuff, their career, where they're from, life changing events. But I've seen bumper stickers with...

Where you wipe, inspect the damage and its (visibly) clean. Because of the good diet and constitution required for this rare event, its often the highlight of the day.

Super, it goes on to recommend how to cook meat. Thick.

Re: Chef trolls vegan protesters
Broccoli - that veg's inclusion on a plate is for its nutrients, well above egg yolk. For protein, we'll be easily matching egg whites with lentils, beans, grains and nuts.

Regarding pollution, animal farming contributes more than you think. Its comparable to "transport".
