Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

i'm all for not shaming people and everything, but we also do need to be conscious about what we're buying and consuming.

You probably don't need a macbook, and if you do need a laptop, there are almost certainly better options that are cheaper, and more repairable. Please don't buy a macbook, they aren't good products. (though now with M series macs they actually do work, kind of)

consumerism is not good, we shouldn't be encouraging it. We should be encouraging conscious spending.

100% yes. And start shaming rich people for wanting us to eat bugs and live in coffins while they live in giant mansions and eat all the real food they want.

Bugs are a source of cheap protein too, and it's more of a cultural thing that they are not prevalent in most western cuisine. And there's nothing wrong with small apartments; there are more needed anyways, since people tend to live alone these days. If there were more small, cheap living spaces in the US, then the suburban carcentric design, where you can't reach a grocery store without a car, would have real competition. Higher population density also helps out communities because of lower infrastructure costs.

I'm not rich, but there's nothing wrong with different food and small living spaces.

To be more specific, there’s nothing wrong with those things being a CHOICE. The problem is with specific individuals telling people that millions of others need to cut their carbon footprint to near zero so that they, as an individual, can keep using their private jet without feeling guilty. And that attitude can go die in a hole. But you knew that.

Fucking bootlickers, I swear.

Dude, i'm not a bootlicker for advocating for cheap available housing or additional sources of food. I'm also not a bootlicker for pointing out that the zoning in the US is completely fucked up, or that i would definitely have a better conscience eating a burger made with bug protein than one with the meat of an animal that had a short, brutal life, which also massively contributed to climate change (livestock is about a third of human-caused methane emissions)

I'm open for options, i don't say to force them on people.

And to be clear, at least in german speaking europe, far-right groups use(d? i don't actively follow nazi propaganda) fear of "bug burgers" to campaign against anything the left leaning green party did, so please forgive me when my nazi detector misfired.

e: a word

Ok buddy bootlicker

Hey man, I'll eat bugs to supplement my protein. I don't want to eat only bugs, but it's another protein option, and I see that as a good thing
