they combine disparately methodized LCA data. this is explicitly against good practice. the fact that they found outrageous disparities got them great headlines and impressive graphs, but the underlying science is questionable at best. I could go deeper but this is the thousand foot view.

what in the boomer book is this doing on lemmy

this is poore-nemecek 2018. it is not good science.

tomorrow we dine in hell

of course it's not. Meta analyzes fly in the face of the guidance for LCAs. it's just not good science.

since I'm already being tasked to address this again, it's worth pointing out that poore and nemecek didn't even gather the LCA data themselves. they, themselves, actually cite other meta-analyzes of LCA data. those meta-analyzes do recognize that they are violating best practices in the text themselves, and just go ahead and do it anyway. egregiously, poore and nemecek Don't even acknowledge this faux pas and pass off their "findings" as sound investigation.

for some people

no. different things are different.

I don't mistreat animals. this is libelous.

Matrix, to my knowledge, is only chats, servers (or more properly rooms in Matrix, since they have real servers), and DMs.

I was responding to this

knowledge, being a justified, true belief, precludes knowing the future. I cannot know what others will do.

sentience is arbitrary, too.

there are "spaces" now which is a collection of rooms, which is a pretty good analogue for discord "servers"

I'm not responsible for others actions

it's a veterinary procedure

other animals are a different species

since the future hasn't happened yet, no claim about it can, in the present moment, be true. so you can't know it.

almost no calves end up as veal at all. the vast majority are brought to full weight before slaughter

yep. you can compare an apple to an orange.

stating facts to correct misinformation is a style, i guess.
