Birds can’t have bread it’s bad for them like really bad for their digestive system
Saying bread is bad for birds is like saying meat is bad for mammals. It’s clumping thousands of completely different species into one generalization. Different species have completely different diets and metabolisms.
The birds above are chickens, gallus gallus domesticus, which are omnivores. They naturally eat a huge variety of food; grains, insects, fruits, vegetables, grasses, mice, frogs, and just about anything edible they can get their beaks on. Whole wheat bread is actually a great treat for them, it has a fair amount of nutrients and is plenty digestible. Our birds get all kinds of leftovers, just like most backyard chickens, which makes for healthier birds and better eggs.
Bread IS bad for ducks. Ducks aren’t designed to eat it, they need fresh greens and high protein from worms, tadpoles, or fish. It’s also very unhealthy for most song birds in your garden since they are high energy critters. In small quantities a good treat for pigeons, parrots, or corvids (only whole grain bread, no white bread, it’s too sugary). Obviously it’s bad for any raptor.
tHIS IS THE SINGLE MOST BRILLIANT THING I HAVE EVER HEARD I WAS IN HYSTERICS AT 2 CUIL
i find this hilarious considering The Cuil Theory was a popular meme back in 2012, with a similar format as a popular Welcome To Nightvale meme. “weird” posts would usually have an additional reblog with “and now, the weather” in reference to WTNV but for a few months, “weird’ posts would be ended with “i give you a hamburger”. the peak of the meme was around late october of 2012, the actual video itself being published february of 2012.
A communion wafer, according to the internet, is about .25g. Jesus was a healthy young man, who worked manual labor and walked everywhere. The average male in Biblical times was 5′1″ and about 110 pounds so call it 50kg or 50,000 grams. So 200,000 wafers to make up a whole Jesus. At one wafer a week that’s 3846 to eat a whole Jesus at weekly communion. If you went to Mass daily you could do it in under 550 years.
1000 communion wafers from Amazon costs $15, so acquiring a Jesus load would set you back about $3000
But that’s just the body. Jesus also bade his followers to drink his blood. How much of that Jesus communion wafer supply needs to be replaced with communion wine to account for his blood, and how much of that would need to be consumed to have drunk all his blood as well?
The human body contains roughly 5 liters of blood.
Communion wine costs about $66 for a case of 12 x 750 ml bottles (9000 ml).
So half a case is 4500 ml, or close enough if Jesus was on the small side which is reasonable given what we know of the times.
Thus, Jesus’ blood would be about 6 bottles of communion wine, costing $33.
How much of his weight was his blood, now? We can bring down the wafer count.
Osnap what an excellent question.
Water has a specific gravity of 1.0 and weighs 1kg/liter. Wine has a specific gravity if 1.5 thus weighs 1.5kg per liter.
4.5L of wine would weigh 6.75kg or about 15 pounds.
Reducing the wafer load by 6.75kg yields 43.25kg so call it 161,000 wafers or $2450 and change.
a shame when the only “fresh produce” inner city families recieve is rotting nutrients found in corner stars. check your privilege brain, it may not be expensive but sometimes it’s inaccessible.
Also $11 is a lot of money for some people? That could go to a larger amount of longer-lasting food, like how much soup, beans, pasta, and rice could that buy? What if you need a new pair of work pants or extra gas money?
11$ is some people’s food budget for the week, AND they have to get enough calories to survive 10-12 hr workshifts on their feet. that means rice and ramen. fresh seasonal peaches and plums are the very definition of luxury for most working people.
London-based student Lewis Hornby is a grandson on a mission. When he noticed that his dementia-afflicted grandmother was having trouble staying hydrated, he came up with Jelly Drops—bite-sized pods of edible water that look just like tasty treats.
Each of these colorful “candies” is made up of mostly water, with gelling agents and electrolytes making up just 10% of their composition. Available in a rainbow of colors and presented in packaging reminiscent of a box of chocolates, Jelly Drops are an easy and engaging way to avoid dehydration—a common problem for those suffering from degenerative neurological diseases.
“It is very easy for people with dementia to become dehydrated,” he explains. “Many no longer feel thirst, don’t know how to quench thirst, or don’t have the dexterity to drink.” With this in mind, Hornby set out to find a solution. In addition to seeking advice from psychologists and doctors, he opted to “experience” life with dementia himself through the use of virtual reality tools and a week in a care home.
Once he was familiar with what dementia patients need, he brainstormed what they want. “From my observations, people with dementia find eating much easier than drinking. Even still, it can be difficult to engage and encourage them to eat. I found the best way to overcome this is to offer them a treat! This format excites people with dementia, they instantly recognize it and know how to interact with it.”
Case in point? Hornby’s own grandmother’s reaction: “When first offered, grandma ate seven Jelly Drops in 10 minutes, the equivalent to a cup full of water—something that would usually take hours and require much more assistance.”
