The way lobster is thrown into boiling water seems the depth of depravity to me. There has to be a more humane way to do it if people must have lobster. It really makes me sick, its just an absolutely evil thing to do to another living thing like that, even setting aside the food arguments
That site has got to have the most annoying mobile ads I’ve ever seen. When you stop scrolling, the ad comes in from every side to become a border around the viewport. It actively makes me hate the product.
I know Firefox on Android (and other browsers) support adblockers. On iOS if you want to block ads without using a DNS to block them I think you’re stuck with Safari, but you’re using Safari to render them regardless so it’s not a big deal. Still, you can block mobile ads.
Same question to you as I posed to the other poster:
Why aren’t you using an adblocker on your phone? They are easily implemented on both Android and iOS (as long as you’re willing to use Safari as your browser on iOS).
I do use it on Safari but I use Firefox/Chrome/Safari on my phone for different things and just happened to be using Chrome already when I looked up the meme 🤷♀️
My wife always has this guilty look if I’m in the room when she steams crabs. I’m probably going to advocate for this method going forward for all of our sakes, but damn if this isn’t still a cruel way to treat another organism you’re about to consume.
If I were to hazard a guess, I’m going to imagine that this won’t completely solve the feeling bad/guilty about it aspects. Another option to consider: can always just have something else
It’s very much human to have those feelings and healthy in the short term to have those feelings, but we should generally try to listen to them or they eat away us. Or in the really cheesy way of putting it “listen to your heart”
Seafood is part of her culture originally being from a port city, which is fine for me. I personally don’t eat crab just for “ethical” reasons, but also because overall it’s a lot of work for little payoff. Like you said, I just find something else to eat.
Maybe worth reminding her of that option too. A lot of people do things for culture because they feel like they are required or supposed to, even if they might feel better not taking part in certain practices
That’s to get the pretty red shell. Worked at Red Lobster and we’d flip 'em over and split from the brain down. We’d only boil them alive if a customer requested it. Only saw that once.

It is very easy to kill crustaceans before boiling them, yes.

It’s just all ad now…
How are you not using an adblocker on your phone?

uBlock Origin Lite is not (Edit: I meant to say NOW) available for IOS. They can also use AdGuard and Hush.
There are a number of adblockers for iOS, but you are correct, uBlock Origin is not one of them.
Lmao that was a typo. I meant to say uBlock Origin Lite is NOW available for IOS.
Oh damn, really? Guess I’m switching adblockers! 🤣
Oh damn sorry, it’s not bad on my phone (not bad meaning no worse than any other website viewed on mobile).

Snipping right between the eyes with some kitchen shears cuts their brain in half, killing them instantly

Inject the crab with heroin so it dies happy, stab it in the brain, then steam it!

If I keep giving silent eulogies in the kitchen, she’s bound to come around.

This, but also they taste nasty. Why would I want to eat a bottom-feeding sea bug?
