Twitter.com is high novelty low impact
I don't have quite that positive a view of Hitler but I think you are largely correct
I think socialism, including national socialism, is basically the product of Jewish culture
"Omnivore" is a bit misleading
Most carnivores can eat some plants
eg lions sometimes eat grass (probably as a digestive aid)
Most herbivores can eat some animals
eg deer sometimes scavenge carrion
Most omnivores heavily specialize in either meat or plants
(really the specializations are a bit more detailed than that, with not much overlap between vertebrate and invertebrate consumption, and specialization among various plant parts such as leaves, fruit, seeds, tubers, gums and fungi)
Among mammals, the "true generalists" who do not heavily specialize in any one food source are almost all rodents. Virtually all mammal consumption of grain/seeds comes from specialized herbivores (eg ruminants such as cows and sheep) or from these rodent generalists.
Humans are definitely evolved to eat meat, especially large fatty animals. We have limited ability to convert protein into energy and so on a meat-based diet need ample fat. There are many nutrients in meat that we can't get (or can't get efficiently) from plant sources. Vitamin B12 is absolutely essential and cannot be had from plants (vegans have to supplement). Other vitamins like vitamin A are found in the human-usable form in meat but only in a precursor form in plants, which our body converts inefficiently (so "Vitamin A" is not necessarily Vitamin A).
Our shared ancestor with chimpanzees probably ate quite a bit of fruit. Modern fruit doesn't resemble wild fruit, and humans are evolved to suppress uricase and therefore struggle to break down uric acid which is a byproduct of our fructose metabolism (hypothesis: this aids in adding body fat during fruit season to survive the winter). So moderate fruit intake isn't the worst thing but will give you gout symptoms and tend to accumulate body fat, especially in the liver where sugars/alcohol are converted into fat. In my opinion the best fruits for human consumption are fatty stone fruit like olive and avocado. Semi-sweet stone fruit may work well such as peaches, cherries and plums. Berries may work well, especially strawberry which is high in vitamin C (to offset the negative VitC impact of sugar consumption).
Starchy roots & tubers (USO - underground storage organ) are handled OK, most will simply break down into glucose. Excess glucose for long periods will probably give insulin resistance, and there are certain deficiencies in USOs that some human populations are adapted to deal with and others are not. If you are descended from a population that ate lots of USOs you still need meat but can probably get a chunk of your calories from USOs without too much negative effect.
Certain human populations are adapted for dairy, for example continuing to produce lactase into adulthood (to break down lactose). You may be able to eat some dairy products (eg cheese, butter, yogurt) and not others (eg milk) or you may not handle dairy well. Keep in mind dairy is optimized for infant animal growth, so if you're trying to lose weight it may be a poor choice.
Finally we have little or no evolutionary history that would make insects, grains, seeds, nuts, leafy greens, plant bodies, fungi, gums or honey suitable foods.

Very interesting, but to my mind misses the forest for the trees
The waste is ultimately a cost and ultimately paid by the user
So ordinary supply-and-demand is able to find the balance between up-front cost and lifetime costs that customers most prefer, and therefore to minimize waste
Assuming it's not already going up off balance sheet...
permaculture / regenerative ag is where it's at
Why?
Was there a requirement to hold collateral instead of bank credit?
Or were people speculating that yields would fall further (eg due to central banks paying an even greater premium) ?
Median seems to be around 15k USD
you will own nothing and we will be happy
Milkman predicted US would have to weaken its currency at DXY 150
Apparently all it actually took was JPY 150
I have a couple of "secure" passwords made up of 5 common(ish) words each
I had a real scare a couple years ago shortly after creating one of them, in which I thought I'd forgot it and locked myself out of my own computer. Thankfully after maybe half an hour I was able to recollect enough to figure it out.
Maybe I am just retarded.
But I wouldn't want to bet a substantial fortune on my ability to remember an exact progression of common words.
DXY is just fiat over fiat
If you want USD vs real things may I recommend USDXAU
They've been lying to us for well over a century. https://nostpic.com/media/a3ce3b178db030c5bdcddd1aa7c9a9127ecb17f16f7daaf5d8216860b7588d3c/1451e9f3ae192fc6a6b120a50151dd1ded39bb27f56b886eadbdf7b776b285d1.webp
"It certainly is foolish for grown people to eat meat at every meal."
I think this tells you something about what the expectation used to be
you do if you go back far enough
(assuming modern cladistic theories of evolution are correct)
all tetrapods for example are just one weird suborder of fish
My favorite film is Harakiri, give that one a watch if you haven't yet
I think we're arguing semantics at this point
Africans are closely related to the rest of us, but distinct (lower IQ, more aggressive, less impulse control, seemingly less sense of ethics or obligations, I'm sure many other differences as well)
I don't know that it much matters whether you classify them as human or nonhuman, a subspecies or another species in the genus
