    It may be. But it’s not insanely complicated to synthesize NH₂CONH₂, and it’ll be far more pure than getting it from an animal’s waste. You just need ammonia, carbon dioxide, and some equipment (and know how to use said equipment without exploding things, so best to outsource the production).



  • That’s the thing about chemicals, though. Ammonia from a penis is the exact same thing as ammonia from a factory. Despite what homeopaths would say, molecules don’t have a memory of where they’ve been. I suppose I can see an argument around sourcing chemicals from sources that minimize environmental harm.

    So no washing your hair at all?

    Or is there some whitelist of allowed chemicals? I assume at least water, but hopefully some kind of surfactant, too?

    And no, I’m not being obtuse, I genuinely never know what people mean when they say things like this. Same as eating “clean”. It usually seems to be “clean means food that seems intuitively healthy to me” and “chemicals are things that seem intuitively scary to me”.



  • How is a Russian athlete flying a neutral or other countries flag a threat to their sovereignty

    Do I really need to clarify that I meant one country, not one athlete, in the context of being a threat to a nation’s existence?

    and how does that excuse accepting genocide and imperialist invasion just because you aren’t directly affected by it?

    Countries tend to prioritize themselves over other countries. That’s kinda what countries are.

    But regardless of whether it excuses it or not, it makes it not hypocritical. You can be selfish, and even immoral, without hypocrisy.
