It's such a weird confluence of idea quality

Breeding the glowing cats is such a genius idea for a long lasting radiation warning that'll survive whatever societal upheaval over time (assuming you can do it and they wind up also working as normal cats)

Assuming that this song will survive when the simple one-sentence factual information "Hey if the cats start glowing it's radiation GTFO" is so patently wrong

I get the idea that it is more brainstorming than actual serious proposal, but even within that realm

It's an SNL skit. Take the tinfoil off.

The ketchup company obviously paid for this skit.

    As a Christian I wish I could upvote this 1000 times. The Bible says your actions are not what get you into heaven but will prove to others where your aligence lies.

    APassenger ,

    OT Christians (I know, but run with it), see that God blesses his chosen. The more they're blessed, the obvious God's favor is.

    Abraham, David, Solomon. All favored and ended up rich.

    UmeU ,

    The Bible also condones slavery, rape, incest, misogyny, torture, and genocide, so who cares what it says.

    Also, who cares what others think of you in this blip of an existence if eternal peace awaits everyone who accepts the deity regardless of how evil ones actions may be.

    The Bible is a bunch of horseshit nonsense.

    UmeU , in Pastors are Scamming Believers out of Millions | Josh Johnson (16:51)

    Christianity is a bunch of horseshit altogether. Here are some choice examples:

    "Slaves, be subject to your masters with all reverence, not only to those who are good and equitable but also to those who are perverse." (1 Peter 2:18)

    “If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity.” (Deuteronomy 25:11-1)

    "When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again."
    (Exodus 21: 7-8)

    “I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.” (1 Timothy 2:12)

    "O daughter Babylon, you devastator! Happy shall they be who pay you back what you have done to us! Happy shall they be who take your little ones and dash them against the rock!"(Psalm 137:8–9)

    And on and on it goes

    What’s the detail I’m missing with this song? Cats are nuclear canaries?

    iflyspaceships ,

    The songs were half of the plan. The other half was to genetically engineer cats that glow when exposed to higher levels or radiation.

    “So obviously different colored people are the ones who got the ray-di-ashun, and we got to kill ‘em. The sacred song says ray-di-ashun is bad, so thems bad people too.”

    That was really good. It's always refreshing to see a level headed opinion on divisive topics like this.

    I had a feeling the title would throw people off. It also doesn't help that the first thing in the video description is a supporter appeal because that's all we see in the summary here. If you have any suggestions for a description I'll add it here.

    The editing by TheZatzman was fun.

    McDaniels wasn’t hired to head anything at nbc.

    DragonTypeWyvern ,

    Wow, that's even weirder tbh. What, exactly, would they expect her to contribute as a "contributer?"

    I just assumed it was a bunch of management chuckleheads who only see job titles thinking she could fill a leadership role.

    @DragonTypeWyvern

    Beltway journalism trades in a currency known as “access”

    McDaniels made a case to nbc that if she’s hired and Trump gets elected, he and his cronies will trust NBC more with people like her there.

    NBC is shameless garbage that will happily help spread tyranny if they think they can profit

    Fuck_u_spez_ ,

    To be fair, they had enough shame to reverse course after the outcry from their staff.

    Or they at least had enough sense to protect their bottom line.

    gregorum , in [Louis Rossmann] Is All Piracy Equal? Exploring Gray Areas: When Is It REALLY "Stealing" ??
    @gregorum@lemm.ee avatar

    Piracy has never been stealing. At worst, it’s a form of copyright infringement. It can’t be stealing because you’re not technically taking anything from anyone but just making a copy.

    PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

    But what about the potential revenue that the creator would've earned if it wasn't possible to pirate? They would've definitely bought it for full price.

    /s

    Fizz ,
    @Fizz@lemmy.nz avatar

    How do you figure that it's not stealing? The way I see the word stealing used it seems that piracy would fit under that definition. There is plenty of times we would say someone stole something that isn't physical. Example of someone has an idea and they tell me and I go and take that idea to market before them they would say I stole it even though they still have their idea.

    randomname01 ,

    You have an actual loss in that scenario, but in the case of digital piracy most people wouldn’t have bought it anyway. Hence, no lost sales.

    Fizz ,
    @Fizz@lemmy.nz avatar

    You can't make the claim that most people who pirated wouldn't have brought anyway. Also if most people wouldn't have brought then you still can't claim no lost sales because most isn't all.

    gregorum , (edited )
    @gregorum@lemm.ee avatar

    Example of someone has an idea and they tell me and I go and take that idea to market before them they would say I stole it even though they still have their idea.

    if that "idea" was patented or trademarked, or if the original creator can prove "first/prior use" in court, theyw ould have a viable civil case for IP infringement under the DMCA (in the US, or under similar laws in other jurisdictions). again, however, this is not "theft" by any legal definition, but a form of copyright infringement as defined by the law. Nothing was taken or stolen (the creator still possesses the original), but, rather, copied and then illegally profited from.

    How do you figure that it’s not stealing?

    I did not make this determination. different forms of theft are defined by laws:

    theft
    n. the generic term for all crimes in which a person intentionally and fraudulently takes personal property of another without permission or consent and with the intent to convert it to the taker's use (including potential sale). In many states, if the value of the property taken is low (for example, less than $500) the crime is "petit theft," but it is "grand theft" for larger amounts, designated misdemeanor or felony, respectively. Theft is synonymous with "larceny." Although robbery (taking by force), burglary (taken by entering unlawfully) and embezzlement (stealing from an employer) are all commonly thought of as theft, they are distinguished by the means and methods used and are separately designated as those types of crimes in criminal charges and statutory punishments.
