FREE YOURSELVES FROM THE SHACKLES OF THE TURKEY LOBBY! EAT WHATEVER YOU DAMN WELL LIKE AT THANKSGIVING/CHRISTMAS

Here's a thing I'm probably talking out of my arse about:

Do people actually like turkey?

'cause it seems that a massive amount of it is consumed at events like thanksgiving in the US and christmas in the UK and there's bugger all people eating it the rest of the year

It is available all year, so if people actually liked it I'd expect the demand curve to be a bit shallower

My theory is that, in general, people don't actually particularly like it and only eat it out of marketing

@LaserScheme ooh, that's hella neat

@Nine @prophet_goddess @gdkar nah, all of them have their PhD's in English Lit, they're going to a conference

@mavica @DarkWitchClaire there's an option in settings -> preferences marked "opt-out of search engine indexing"

don't know if that effectively does the same thing, but it's there

@legendaryjoeb I'm very surprised the idea took off in the first place

Under the Bees Act of 1980, the Environment Secretary may appoint someone to have the power to, at any time, enter your premises, vessel, boat, hovercraft, aircraft, or vehicle of any other description in order to inspect your bees

I am not making that up

@Shrigglepuss they really don't think things through

like when there's a prophecy about someone "bringing balance to the force"

not a good thing when you're on top

@trashyfins yeah, india apparently this time

With all these new people showing up to the fediverse are we keeping up with giving them their complimentary fursonas and copies of the communist manifesto?
