@taniwharugby I can't watch those falls simply because I can't handle the involuntary shudder that one's testicles emit when the falling idiot makes contact with the ground.
That's some hard wired, deep evolutionary shit going on there
What? It's only me that gets that dreadful feeling?

If you are opposed to meat products would you eat pretend meat?

For people who purport to not want to eat meat, it is a funny preoccupation to have. Perhaps they are trying to temp meat eaters who would consider swinging to the other side?

I had an ex who was vege simply because she couldn't stomach eating meat. She'd try all those not bacon's etc as substitutes.

It's like the electric vehicles of the food world. Meat is incredibly water and carbon intensive to farm. One of my vegetarian mates drives a fat V8, on teh basis that he doesn't eat meat and therefore has massive carbon credits. I can't disagree with him!
But also, meat is getting crazy expensive. If/when they get realistic meat substitutes, the price will scale and scale fast.

@antipodean haha some I simply cant watch, just too brutal.
On NatGeo I enjoy watching the Science of Stupid, plenty of them are just idiots...I always think to myself 'well what did you think would happen...' then realise they clearly didnt think.
As one of those idiots, I resent being called an idiot. Oh, wait...
But yeah - certainly did plenty of stupid shit when I was young, dumb, and drunk. Luckily - pre- the days of ubiquitous video-capable phones.
And - most of the time, I was lucky enough to get away with whatever stupid shit I was doing.
Worst case - breakdancing on a Burger-King counter, dropping to the floor in the middle of "the Caterpillar" - still got the scar on the bottom-of-chin from that one.EDIT: Oh - unless you count the broken foot from jumping into a zoo enclosure. I guess that's probably worse, when I think about it... both dumber, and worse injury.

Did she eat any other kind of meat or is that why you split up?

I have to ask - what was in the enclosure with you and your broken foot?
Clearly not something that feeds off people. Or the tenant was not home at the time

@snowy said in Alternative needed from the absolute crap of stuff.co.nz:
@canefan Yeah but I question the challenge of jumping into the tortoise enclosure for example?
I think that it is safe to assume the the tenants were in otherwise the word "enclosure" is a bit inaccurate.
At Auckland Zoo (I assume this is normal at any zoo) sometimes the animals are moved from one enclosure to another, so some days I go with Ms CF Jnr and the tigers (her favourite) are sitting in one partition or another, or aren't in there at all, obviously out back somewhere. I assume the tenant wasn't one of the nasties, otherwise kruse would not have lived to tell the tale

Ah, yeah, starting to feel I shouldn't have admitted this, but...
Chimpanzee enclosure,
they were locked up for the night,
we'd hidden in the bushes until zoo staff had closed up for the night.
And yeah, I know... idiot.
Still - breaking out of an enclosure designed to keep freaking chimpanzees in, then the zoo itself, with a broken foot... that's some credit? Right? -
@kruse Chimps. They can be nasty (I've seen planet of the apes). Not bad, better than tortoises, not as good as tigers.They kind of needed to be there though.
Yes, some credit for not getting caught with a broken foot in a chimp enclosure. I would imagine that the motivation to get out was quite high.

The idiot owner treated it like a human and it became overprotective and ate her friends face . They shot the fluffybunny of a thing about nine times before it stopped.
Travis the Menace
He was the most famous ape in America. But to really understand a chimp, you have to know his mother.
They like to remove human testicles and eat them too . Did I mention I hate chimps?
-
Chimps look cuddly and fun but they still have that freakish primate strength that would enable them to dismember an All Black prop if they felt the urge.
It makes Clint Eastwood Hollywood's most legendary tough fluffybunny ( even more so ) for starring in two different movies with an Orang Utan. Pussies these days would have to rely on a CGI one.

I remember reading years ago that orangutan was mistreated (beaten) to get it to act. Quite sad what we used to do to animals for entertainment.

That is sad to hear. Whoever played Clyde was probably the best actor in the whole movie.
Not Clints finest four or so hours ( counting the sequel too )
