  • As a vegetarian, eggs are actually a significant component of my protein intake. They are (were) cheap, they’re extremely versatile, they can be fried, scrambled, poached, hard-boiled, made into egg salad, used in sauces, used in baked goods, their taste is neutral enough to combine with an endless variety of other flavors…

    One thing I’ve noticed is that the price of the free-range pasture-fed eggs I’ve always purchased has only slightly increased, while the price of the factory-farmed eggs has skyrocketed. Hmm, it’s almost like chickens have more resistance to communicable diseases like avian flu when we prioritize their health and don’t pack them into an extremely cramped barn or cages…

    Of course, I would sooner go without eggs altogether than buy the factory-farmed eggs. When the free-range eggs were sold out a few weeks ago I bought a plant-based egg scramble substitute. It wasn’t very good, but it’s always worth it to try something new.

    I have a lot of respect for those who have the self-discipline to be vegan. I’ve tried to reduce my dairy and egg intake and it turned out to be a lot more difficult than quitting meat.







  • Does it prevent you from uploading the post? AFAIK it always makes you select which community when creating a new post, which would be normal functionality, not a bug.

    Could you provide some more detail, maybe a screenshot illustrating the problem?

    EDIT TO ADD: Are you selecting “create a post” from your front page, or are you navigating to your community first? If it’s the former, then of course you will be asked to select the community; if it’s the latter, then it should fill in your community by default (while still giving you the option to change it).







  • The point of this experiment is the long-term preservation and storage of genetic material, not to answer whether or not we can reproduce in zero gravity. You’re familiar with the concept of a seed vault? It’s the same idea, just a different kind of seed.

    That being said, who wants to bear the risk of medical complications from pregnancy 250 miles above the ground? It would not be an ethical experiment to intentionally do this. That being said, if it happened anyways despite protocol, you can bet your ass they’ll collect as much data about the pregnancy as possible.
