  • You as a human could also live with the same food every day if it covered every dietary need. Especially if you depended on someone else to acquire it and had no choice.

    There is an evolutionary push for a rich variety of nutrients obtained from a variety of sources, but the mechanism driving that daily “need” for variety is force of habit and desire for novelty. On top of that, some people are happy to eat nothing but junk and have very narrow tastes. How come?

    Also, I can assure you, a lot of cats will periodically stop eating a certain brand or flavor and go through cycles. Does it mean the food isn’t really covering their needs or are they just bored of the same flavor every day? Hard to know, but I would argue your assumption about humans being too different from their pets when it comes to variety in their menu.






  • My list is very subjective.

    Cockroaches (pest) is my N.1 on the list

    N.2 Ticks!!! The fuckers rain from the trees and latch onto you!!!

    N.3 is shared by parasites, any worms, lice, fleas, you name it;

    N4. Leeches. Because fuck leeches. They are slow, yet they will still get you, and unless you have coated yourself in DEET they will bite you, and the bite will bleed for a while, and if you are like me you may get an allergic reaction.

    Anything that can be reasonably warded off with regular repellent and/or window screens gets a pardon from me.





  • That sounds pretty much what happened. I don’t leave anything in my car I would cry over. I have a nomadic life so I can’t really afford to not leave anything behind, most things have a purpose in the car (screwdrivers, my cheap OBDii, the sunscreen cream, rags for cleaning, rain gear in case the rain catches me on the go)The only thing that would have been a nightmare if stolen would be the electronic toll tag, but they didn’t grab that one. But what really got me thinking is that the alarm didn’t go off.
