I'm pretty sure it's not AI generated. https://9gag.com/gag/aL0Gq7z here it is on 9gag from 2020, where you can see a handle for Craig Stirling. Looks like Craig posted this image on facebook back around May of 2020, which is probably close to the time it was originally created.

I knew I saw it a few years ago, but it can be so hard to find old images. Also, probably the best version is over on reddit, but it's a little less political.

Edit: I really shouldn't try to speak to this image. I just knew I saw basically the same thing before, this particular iteration could be AI considering it doesn't really look like Craig Stirling's.

    Eating fruit and vegetable scraps such as peels and stalks could provide a health boost that most of us are missing, say UK researchers.

    They say scraps are an overlooked source of dietary fibre and are encouraging people to try "root-to-tip" eating, including watermelon rind, pineapple core and butternut squash seeds.

    I was going to agree with the article, but nevermind. There has to be a better way to get your fiber.

    I don't think you can see a comment's edit history, or at the very least I don't know how to do it.

    I can’t imagine a reason to not tax them for 99% of their wealth, unless they’re the ones controlling the legislation.

    You were literally proving their point and got attacked for it. Must be frustrating.

    An inverted appeal to authority? Because a famous philosopher hated a new thing that ended up being good, you want to assume all new things will be good.

    It would also be an over-generalization because it isn't considering the reasons Plato was against books and if all new technologies and changes would have any relation to those reasons.

    Maybe in the future, cows won't produce methane and we'll just have to worry about land use and the efficiency of raising cows for food. But historically and presently, they produce a huge amount of methane and contribute significantly to climate change.

    I also note that the methane isn’t a big problem, cattle methane is probably tiny compared to fossil methane

    This specifically is why I replied to you: you didn't know something, made a guess, and were very wrong about it.

    and yet the methane overhead of a cow is stable, and doesn’t grow over time, its not a net contributor.

    Emissions have increased by 5.2 percent (9.5 MMT CO2 Eq.) since 1990. This increase in emissions from 1990 to 2022 generally follows the increasing trends in cattle populations.

    You really just don't bother reading things if they go against your world view, don't you?

    There's a sale at the Paizo store right now, but more interesting is the fact that I also got the PDFs for the adventure paths, pawn boxes, and card decks I bought added to my digital library. As far as I can tell this isn't advertised anywhere, and I don't know if it applies to items outside of the sale.
