  • What are you even talking about? They are mushy and stinky and yes it is an ecological detriment to take salmon on their way to spawn.

    Depending on where you are, you might be interfering with a federally listed endangered salmon population. Just because you saw a whole buncha salmons one time doesn’t mean they’re all doing fine. And are you trying to imply you fought off bears to get your hands on some stinky old, nearly dead salmon on their way to further the species? 😂 😭 😂

    For the second year in a row, all commercial and recreational salmon fishing in California will be closed for the 2024 season in order to let the salmon population recover. On Wednesday, the Pacific Fishery Management Council voted unanimously to cancel salmon fishing season off the California and Oregon coasts, which was scheduled to begin next month.


  • They’re basically a pile of mush by the end of their run, about to keel over and die. They don’t have any fat and the muscles have been mostly used for energy as well. It gets significantly fishier smelling too, but like, not in a good way.

    Some people like it. My dogs used to like to yank our shoulders out of the sockets on walks, trying to go roll around in the ones that flopped on to shore to die. That’s not fun to scrub out of an excitable labrador.











  • But everyone knows camels are the better mathematicians, having always used base infinity.

    Lack of fingers was another big spur to the development of camel intellect. Human mathematical development had always been held back by everyone’s instinctive tendency, when faced with something really complex in the way of triform polynomials or parametric differentials, to count fingers. Camels started from the word go by counting numbers.

  • At one point, years ago when I was so depressed I could barely get out of bed, I realized “If someone treated a dog the way I’ve been treating myself, I would take steps to get that dog taken away from them.” Food every day, water several times a day, walks, baths, interaction, play… I was doing none of these things. It really helped to try to think of myself as an “other” that needed care.
