Are you talking about humans now, or humans 100,000 years ago?

Solitaire1 · 01-09-2021, 12:02 PM

Since humans have so many food options (chicken, beef, pork, vegetables...) doesn't it make cannibalism unnecessary?

Elektron · 01-09-2021, 12:03 PM

What?

pdurrant · 01-09-2021, 12:04 PM

Have you ever read "The Food of the Gods" by Arthur C. Clarke?

Solitaire1 · 01-09-2021, 12:05 PM

Why would humans need to eat humans when there are so many other food options? As an example, aren't chickens easy to catch and eat? Aren't vegetables even easier to catch and eat?

Have you never read Johnathon Swift's A Modest Proposal For preventing the Children of Poor People From being a Burthen to Their Parents or Country probably better known as A Modest Proposal? Or Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 for the real world?

Shouldn't I finish my current read first?

binaryhermit · 01-10-2021, 11:00 AM

Also, have you ever heard of Armin Meiwes?

Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny?

binaryhermit · 01-11-2021, 09:33 AM

Is it weird that I think that's a terrible joke that's in poor taste?

DNSB · 01-11-2021, 01:12 PM

Do you find it weird that you think it is funny, that it is in poor taste (not all that punny...) or both?

binaryhermit · 01-11-2021, 09:24 PM

Is anyone else completely confused?

DNSB · 01-11-2021, 11:00 PM

Would we be here if we were not confused?

pdurrant · 01-12-2021, 02:13 AM

How can we not be confused? Don't we all have many, many, unanswered questions?

Uncle Robin · 01-12-2021, 02:40 AM

Is there a "we"?
