This is absolutely true and sad, though I get a lot of free electronics to dismantle by rummaging through trash. People have no appreciation of the value of “used” items that either work perfectly fine or have a minor issue that prevents them from working but is easily fixable, e.g. a broken cable (I have many working devices that were thrown away because the cable is severed, which I could easily fix). I think only proper education in this regard will improve things long term.

That is true, but a “debilitating mental disorder” means completely different things to every person. So, you should go to therapy if you feel you need it, which means that trying to decide for someone makes no sense at all.

You can distill the water using solar energy, even without converting it to electricity beforehand, which insanely increases the efficiency. Also, it just requires some initial materials, and then the process basically runs itself. It absolutely could be done at a large scale, especially in places where there is much sun and much saltwater (equatorial coastlines), but the process is veeery slow and there is not enough demand for freshwater (yet) to warrant the construction of gigantic solar stills. As a bonus, global warming increases the efficiency of the process AND the process cools the Earth down somewhat (separating the water and dissolved stuff is a thermodynamically entropy-decreasing process).

It is so prevalent that this type of bigotry actually has its own name: specieism

What do you mean you can’t? Sure, it takes an unnecessary amount of work, which is fucking stupid, but it is still absolutely doable at home (in most cases)

I can’t believe it either (though I wouldn’t expect anything else from these morons)

In fact, we, as humanity, don’t really know either

Thank you for typing that out!

Don’t call me out like that! (also 2n3904 and 2n3906 my beloved)

Because that’s the point

In criminal cases. In civil suits someone always loses, so an average person cannot win more than 50% of cases.

Finally the mathematically correct answer! Thank you for typing this out

Literally my first thought as well!
