Topic: I love cities
+Anonymous A — 10 months ago #66,502
In America it’s real popular right now for old white people who live on farms in the middle of nowhere to talk trash about cities and call them shitholes. I grew up in the suburbs and I go to college right in the middle of a city. All I can say is, nobody ever travelled internationally to be a tourist on a damn farm. You know what I’m saying? Nobody from China or Europe or wherever came to America on vacation and was like, "hmm… you know what I wanna see? THE CORNFIELDS OF OHIO!" In my opinion, being anywhere except a city is boing as hell. Living somewhere that’s not walkable will just make you fat. I mean, go to a city somewhere where people actually walk. Go to Europe, see what middle aged people in Europe look like. Come to America and see what middle aged people in America look like. Middle aged Americans look like melted vanilla ice cream comes. They’re built like a bag of milk. I don’t want that to happen to me. Okay? I want to live somewhere in the world, I can walk out the front door, onto a subway, and then walk from the subway and end up wherever I need to be. That’s great. I have zero interest in living in a damn corn field, and I don’t like the suburbs. I don’t need a front lawn, I don’t need a back lawn, as a matter of fact, I’d rather not have the extra chore of mowing a lawn. I can have somebody living left of me, right of me, above me, and below me, that’s fine. As long as shootings happen on a weekly basis instead of a daily basis, those are odds of survival in an urban environment I can mostly live with.

Honestly in World War Two, we didn’t have to nuke Japan. They say America had a large manufacturing capability or whatever. Clearly our farming produce capabilities were always much larger than whatever our industrial output was. We could have just buried the Japanese in corn. That would have been a viable war strategy to win World War Two. And you know what? I think they would probably have surrendered to that, because looking at these rows of corn going on and on forever makes me feel an existential dread about my place in the universe, that I am so small there is nothing I can ever do to make a significant difference, because no matter how far you drive, THERE IS ALWAYS MORE FUCKING CORN!

I can’t even remember the last time I even ate corn. Who eats corn?

The ironic thing is these rural people hate communism but are all growing a crop nobody eats just to take up land for the sake of taking up land because it’s subsidized by the federal government.

Before somebody says "oh but actually corn is used in a lot of things you wouldn’t expect because a lot of stuff is made with corn starch!" Are Cheetos good for you?

It's mostly for animal feed and biofuel additives.

Can’t we just feed animals parts of other animals?

Only if you line them up smallest to largest and feed them all until the last one stands.

We generally only eat herbivores. Probably because it's cheaper to feed them.
