I ate (part of) a giant gulf coast lobster once. It wasn't very good. Not sure if the size or the warm waters were to blame.

I don't know who decided to get you fixed, but I think that's a bit harsh just because you didn't know the official weight of a frisbee.

I think if there were as many sharks as cows now and we had as much contact with them as we now have with cows, there would be no humans

hmmmph, not exactly. If sharks did geniunely eat us like a predator, we would likely develop a way to co-exist. Shark generally don't like killing humans anyway...

I disagree. If we had as much contact with sharks as we have with cows, sharks would be the one blasted out of existence do to human’s irrational fear of sharks.

Winnie the Pooh hasn't been banned. I have visited China a lot & I've seen toys, keyrings etc on sale. You can search for him on Weibo & he comes up in the search findings. You can even see him at Disneyland in Shanghai :)

So I'm not sure when or why a Western internet meme got translated into Winnie being banished.

The number of human life years lost due to being killed indirectly by cows because of overconsumption of red meat causing premature death is probably much greater than the number of human life years lost directly due to cow killings.

225 is not true. You can still access plenty of Disney content in China including Winnie the Pooh. Literally just download Chinese social media and search up Winnie the Pooh.

Source- I lived in China for two years and know people there. Plus you can download Chinese social media.
