FreudianSlippers posted:I've never understood vegans who don't eat insects seeing as insects are probably not any more sentient than any plant let alone fungi who are probably twice as sentient as any species of insects. From what I've understood, there's no definite answer as to whether insects are sentient or not (as said, how do you measure that?) but considering the neural complexity of insects there's a possibility of them being so, and as such it might not be worth taking the risk with insect-based food. With fungus, the same argument is harder to make because the type of sentience would need to be very unusual/unlike what we usually consider. Obviously that doesn't mean that fungal colonies aren't sentient, just that statistically insects could be considered to have a higher likelihood for that. EDIT: Have a mildly interesting wooden ball:

Is a colony of ants more sentient than a single ant, I wonder?

FreudianSlippers posted:Eating root vegetable isn't vegan because harvesting them causes harm to insects in the soil. The former is obviously easier to explain and works a bit better when you don't have a Jainist view of botany and I'd even encourage it if you aren't a vegetarian because the comparative sort of suffering minimization Just Makes Sense even coming in with a need to eat meat.

TITTIEKISSER69 posted:That's reminding me of an X-Files episode Firewalker was a good episode that was on the VHS tape that I recorded Jose Chung's... on so I watched it a lot. The fungus stalks shooting out of people's necks was a creepy effect. Another episode where many of the one-off cast would end up on TV and movie screens a lot.

I'm assuming they are referring to the later season episode where a giant fungus causes people to hallucinate while it dissolves them.

Phy posted:Slug with eyestalk parasites? hosed up caterpillar? I hate it. "The larva of Curetis acuta has a fluffy shape, but when it gets angry or surprised, it instantly pops out a pompon (?) From the two protrusions on its butt and swings it around. In addition, this pompon can be put out even in the state of the front pupa, which is the state. Pompon is too cute ~ ❤️ (But if you put it out too much, you will die, so be careful ❗️😱☠️ )"

I think it's that the can of air freshener, which you would just spray openly into the air in your room, looks fairly similar to the can of disinfectant, which you really shouldn't do that with?
