If we started a program to domesticate monkeys, within 200 years or so we'd have viable pets. I think it could probably be done. But it would be so unnerving that I am not sure we could handle it.
These little proto-humans in our houses: wearing collars, using the toilet, answering the door with their little hands that can work our technology, doing tricks for food in front of company. PeTA would just gesture broadly and be like: "SEE! WE TOLD YOU THIS WHOLE CONCEPT WAS REALLY FUCKED UP!"
All the feral domesticated monkeys running around.
I mean, we already have a feral monkey problem in like every city where they live naturally don't we?
No. Those aren't feral. They are just wild monkeys.
I'm not sure what term describes what I mean; when animals who are wild begin living in human environments without domestication?
wild
like a wild pigeon or wild rat, not that anybody says that rather than specifying "pet pigeon, pet rat" but you get the idea
feral is something domesticated that's become wild
I've also noticed that you can tell Futurama was animated in Korea, because characters are constantly opening books by their back covers and clamshell cases, like that sarcophagus, are left-handed.
Little detail with Infinity: the Morat are dominantly left-handed.

so feral dogs, the dreaded feral cow, etc
Jesus Christ you people I got that already.
I don't just mean wild, I mean animals that have become a nuisance due to their interaction with nearby human habitation, what's the word for it?

Was Outbreak the move where Dustin Hoffman played a reporter?
I think so. I remember him being in a movie where he plays a reporter. And it was ridiculous because Dustin Hoffman mumbles, so he would never, ever, be a reporter on a live news show.
No. He was a reporter in Tootsie, though?
It was some kind of disaster movie. Hmmm. IMDB says no, though. I don't know what it was I'm thinking of then.

nuisance is very broad and context specific. Well, so is pest.
I have a feeling that there is a term for wild animals who thrive in human environments, I have a vague feeling that I knew a word like that once - without the "being a nuisance" part, since that depends on the specific problem.

Lately I’ve been seeing bags with the jerky that are whole chunks of pork belly. I thought you needed lean cuts for jerky, because fat goes rancid? These are fatty, almost soft cubes of pork belly. How do they survive on the same timelines as jerky wtf

The term "urban wildlife" refers to non-domesticated, sometimes tame animals that have adapted to live within human environments, and are acclimated to the presence of people. Squirrels, mice, rats, foxes, pigeons, falcons and eagles in cities with skyscrapers. Bears, deer, moose, monkeys, sometimes elephants. Penguins in many areas!
Not all are pests, not all are tame. Some eat trash and depend on humans while other have found a way to continue doing their own thing in our cities.

with the amount of salt and sugar you should have a hostile environment for bacteria, the drying process should also remove the wetness that the bacteria live in.
i mean it would be a disgusting texture, but people are weird.

With really good prep, salt, and low humidity, you can get an ok shelf life out of fattier dried meats. But they do go rancid kind of quickly after opening.

Penguins are the cutest synanthropes. Generally the same coastlines that people like to build on are also attractive to penguins. If people build there, the penguins do not give a shit and will use the land also, just parking a colony on top of the house or fishing hut or research station. Building little rock nests under the front steps, using the same walking paths like if another penguin had cleared them. Scuttling out of the way when a group of people pass through, like they would for an elephant seal, but not threatened or traumatized by the experience.
They're not too interested in our food or trash, so they don't really beg or get particularly interested in what the people are doing, so they're not pests aside from the smell if there's a lot of them.

Domesticating apes rather than monkeys would be outright upsetting. I don't think we could complete the process without the whole enterprise being derailed by a moral crisis.
I mean, I feel like that would be real close to uplifting/planet of the apes type shit.

Humans have shown themselves perfectly able to do horrific things for long periods of time.
It's pretty similar to gin rummy. You have 14 tiles with the goal of accruing matching suits of three or consecutive runs of three and one pair. Draw, take the last discarded tile, and discard your own as necessary on your turn.
I kind of want the Magic Folio keyboard for my iPad, but I also don’t want to spend 450 dollars on it.
Using an el-cheapo 20 dollar bluetooth keyboard right now to see how much typing I actually end up doing on the iPad. Making poast with it at the moment.

Also god damn is it painful to use the youtube app on iOS/iPadOS. No working adblocker. I gave up after 30 seconds and just watch youtube stuff on a computer with an adblocker like God intended.
Welp I just totally fucked up something related to the power of the house
Now I need to call an electrician on off hours cause I have no power to my second floor and attic
Check the breaker first. You may have tripped the arc fault Current interrupter (AFCI)
Ok so this is the thing this house was a duplex at one point so all upstairs is controlled by this panel the one off switch is the one for this room I was changing these light switches
If there is more downstairs I don’t know about it cause the big panel down there i went and reset already

Ok I don't there's any risk of an arcfault breaker in this box.

Arcfault breakers started appearing in residential homes around the early 2000s and that breaker panel looks like it's straight out of the 1970s.

Birds hanging out on horse backs and gently removing tufts of loose fur is adorable.
