    Absolutely incredible headline, but kind of a fucked up article. They’re hurting camels to win a pagent, what the hell.

      Wikipedia recently picked me this article to rabbithole. These bots are supposed to replace child slaves because the usual adult camel riders just doesn’t tickle the same, huh

      Did you know the biomass of farmed mammals is 30 times greater than wild mammals? Our industrialized suffering is enormous.

    Hump Plumper is a low key insult or props. The tone and context are key.

    What is it about our species that we can’t just keep to ourselves? Was the “pageant” really necessary in the first place?
