Is it Ok to just eat it because you like it? And you don’t care about suffering or the environment?

As long as you are honest about it then yep. I think that is why it was stated as not okay to pretend you eat if for other reasons.

You want to eat meat, fill your boots, but for the love of your messiah of choice just shut the * up about it.

Humanity as a whole. It seems we can't have nice things without bad things happening too.

This post promised some light hearted frivolity, but I see that didn't last long!  I propose:

Cushions.  Particularly the 20 or so I have to remove to get into bed, or sit on the sofa.

Stickers on apples, if I spot them and remember to remove them they are a PITA to get rid of, but more often than not I forget and end up eating them.  They convey no useful info, what the **** are they for?

Hard plastic blister packed products that need an angle grinder to open.

Allowing people to send Emails for free.

If the internet/web people charge a tiny amount, say 0.001p those who send normal numbers of emails, a few a a day would hardly notice. Even companies send 10,000's a day for reasonable marketing proposes could handle the cost.

But spammers... sending millioooons a day (on the hope of a phish) would be quickly priced out of the market.

I'll go with rice cakes and more of a general all the time one cheese and onion crisps in blue bags and salt and vinegar crisps in green bags,even after all these years it still annoys the hell out of me.

2. Local news websites

Many are published by one group (Reach plc). It's equally irritating to read "local" items that are recycled from other areas.

The third world.

Poverty.

Hunger.

No access to healthcare, sanitation and a roof over your head.

The money spent on space projects and the like when the above exist.

99% of the world's wealth belonging to 1% of the population.

Copper cable telecommunications systems! When I was in North Africa if there was habitation, there was a mobile signal. So why do I have to go 6 miles to get a signal and have to rely on a copper cable for all my (UK in the 21st century) needs? At best 2 mbs, dropping to 0.3 whenever it rains.

(and before anyone says there are satellite solutions, I know that, but to get a highspeed unlimited connection is ££££££££££££)

Any sort of food packaging which is half air.

Ah a personal, really really specific pet hate, but- promotions in shops that make smaller packets/bottles cheaper than the bigger ones. Like, 2 litres of pepsi for £2, 1.25 litres for £1. **** off. Bigger packs should always be cheaper, it's so much more efficient for manufacturer and seller and cuts waste and nobody actually gains by doing this sort of discounting, it's a total loss-loss-loss.

There was and there wasn’t, my title has been modded even though I didn’t write a naughty word (I just used ‘*’ 4 times with an e on the end) so depending on the word you thought of it could’ve started with a capital letter

Labels… putting labels on human beings…

Indeed...they keep falling off.

Can anyone recommend a label which will actually stick to your averagee example of homo sapiens

Homophobia
Transphobia
People who think there are only two genders BECAUSE CHROMOSOMES AND I'M A SCIENTIST
People who think I should only wear one type of leg covering just because I have a penis.

And yes, of course racism and sexism.

Millitant Vegans.

PETA shoving leaflets through my door.

To be fair, the vegans hate PETA probably more than the carnivores do.

See also, You don’t want to eat meat, fill your boots, but for the love of your messiah of choice just shut the **** up about it.

Fair, though this isn't an even split.

Don't stick them on, nail them on. Whatever happened to good old determinism.

things that have no place in 2022

Any thing or behaviour that overwhelmingly continues to contribute to:

-Climate change
-Misinformation
-Conspiracy culture
-Holocene extinction event
-Racism
-Cruelty and unnecessary suffering

That will do for now.

Liars

That’s everyone then. Everybody fibs to some degree and if you claim you don’t, well, your pants are on fire!

I’d like to nominate the perpetually offended and being very serious about everything. Cancel culture too. If you don’t agree with somebody then have a debate about it. Completely unreasonable to demand somebody be silenced.

The different types of screwdrivers, curtain attaching things and chargers. Lack of hoverboards.

On a bike related theme, new standards and stupid names. Yes I’m looking at you down country.

Also working for a living. Pull your ****ing finger out science and get on with replacing us all with robots so we can do more fun stuff.

Threads that end up just another long list of peoples everyday grievances about life in general.

Vaping in the workplace. The noise of it in an otherwise silent office is quite slightly annoying. Almost get it in stereo surround sound. Just non stop. ****ing vaping ****ers 😀

Not caring about the environment or suffering of animals.

People like me who only slightly care but not enough to do anything.

a) dab radios that require you to ‘dink’, confirm your station selection by pressing another button.

Or only having one knob for volume, station selection, etc.

b) e-book readers that don’t fold for portability or that lack a wee solar panel. It’s only a trickle charge that’s required, folks!

1. Fluorescent lights – Take ages to come on, always on the blink, bulbs a pain to dispose of/break easily, noisy.

What? You mean to tell me that you’re still using fluorescent light tubes?
