Not really a fan of animal abuse posing as comedy.
Even when it’s just a dead insect?
The cicada deserved it.
I’ve laughed about jokes concerning dead babies.
Shame you didn’t like the joke, though, taste does differ.
But I think you conflate the joke with somebody harming an animal, it’s not proven that anyone did that in this instance.
It’s just an insect
I’m not against OOP getting their revenge, but yes
it’s just an insect and you are just a human. [1]
Just because it’s suffering isn’t as relatable to you as mammals, doesn’t make it fine.
I remember having been answered once for plants, on their responses to stimuli and poisonous features are “just evolutionary”.
Now, what most people find it hard to imagine, is that for some being significantly higher in the evolutionary path, can consider our brains as “just an evolutionary feature”.
assuming you are a human. Not sure, but I’ll go with that. ↩︎
I’d take it a step further—there is no evolutionary chain. A chain implies linear direction. I’d argue it’s more like a rhizome, evolving in a rather random direction at every moment. Intelligence as we know it is just (1) a single arbitrary attribute and (2) a single arbitrary form of intelligence. Something with more capacity toward intelligence might not even share the same kind of intelligence as us, which could mean their logic would be incomprehensible.
Yeah, afterall, evolution is just about whatever fits the environmental conditions well enough to stay for long.
Neither am I. But the post is done, and I can’t under it. For the sake of my sanity I’m going to assume that: A. It was already dead B. nobody would do this because they would actually do this and even if it was alive it was just for the picture. Not that they actually left it playing music for 12 hours
Cicadas don’t buzz at night. It was your tinnitus.
Ah yes, animal torture, humanity’s favorite
Stop stop it’s already deaaaaaad
