There were shadowy conspiracists lurking in the dark alleys of Washington, and hiding from the glaring sun in the High Desert of California, but they were laughably easy prey when the Martian lizard people, the subterranean Vril-empowered mole-men, and the globalist pedophile Commies did show up.

    this is fucking catastrophic for the entirety of humanity.

    I agree it’s dangerous, but 85% of humanity live in countries that are already either on USA’s shit list or don’t-give-a-shit list, and have never benefited from a Democrat US government either.

    I can answer the second question:
    Generally, hot-blooded mammals transform 90% of the energy they get from food into heat.
    So using a cat for heating your room is about 90% as effective as burning cat food in an oven.

    Here’s some napkin math for where I live:
    1kg of firewood has 4kWh = 4000 kcal
    which is about equivalent to 1kg of really cheap dry cat food (mostly carbohydrates)

    1kg of firewood costs about 40 cents
    1kg of cheap dry cat food costs about 1,20€

    So, cat-based heating is about 3.3x more expensive than burning pre-dried, commercially purchased firewood.
    (all of these prices heavily depend on how much you buy in bulk, though. And if you care about your cat’s well-being, you’re gonna spend 2x more on its food)


  • I have 2 cats.
    One of them seems to sense when I’m upset or unwell, and will come to hug me, wrap herself around my neck and purr in my ear.
    Then the other one will sneak up on us from behind, jump on her back, and start a cat fight on top of my head.
    I love them both, but sometimes I wonder whether getting a second cat was the right decision.
