Oh gently caress me, I thought this was the joke. Didn't even realize the math was bad. I am the target audience of Fox News.

They also give the source for the figures as being their opinions. They literally say that they just made them up on the spot.

I don't think I've seen a pet store that actually sold pets in some years. They sell pet supplies now, and the actual animals are bought from breeders and/or shelters.

You'd think not being immediately eaten would be a more valuable trait to pass on to your offspring than pretty wings. loving vapid females

I think the way it's supposed to work is "look at me, I'm so badass I've managed to survive despite having these useless loving wings. Mate with me and your daughters will have my badass genes plus proper wings. (Your sons will have hosed-up wings, but that's life I guess.)"

I thought it occurred within a few hours of eating, when your body begins digesting it. Food for humans takes roughly a day to pass through the body and be excreted. What's it like for komodo dragons?

Depends on the type of poisoning. Some bacteria (like staph) produce a toxin as they grow in the food - this takes 1-2 hours to affect you and clears up relatively quickly. Others (like salmonella) actually infect you, taking about 24 hours to become noticeable but lasting much longer (possibly requiring antibiotics)

Now that I'm not on my phone, I can elaborate: the half-remembered-and-potentially-bullshit-thus-why-I-asked theory was that humans pushed out whatever-Pandas-came-from long ago from their earlier biosphere by being humans (long before industrial progress would do it faster), and that learning to eat bamboo was a ecological response to that displacement.

Can you really say pandas 'learned' to eat bamboo when they're still so bad at it?

In the Matrix when Agent Smith is talking to Morpheus, he tells him the original Matrix was a paradise for people but our minds rejected it. I feel like this might be what the rejection started to look like, when reality just starts to go to complete poo poo.

At the same time I 100% understand why chinese parents want to ship in outside products - the very idea of your child starving to death because the loving babyfood is really ground up plastic is almost too nightmarish to comprehend.

What happened in this case is that the milk company paid dairies for their milk at a varying rate depending on the protein content. This was to stop the dairies from watering down their milk before selling it.
The standard test for protein just checks the amount of nitrogen. So someone at one of the dairies realised that if they added some cheap industrial plasticiser to the milk they could water it down and still have it test as having a high protein content.
The dosage they used wouldn't be good for an adult drinking the milk, but it probably wouldn't cause acute problems and anyone that did get sick probably wouldn't link it to the milk. However, the milk company (who knew nothing of this) went on to turn the milk into milk powder, and then the company that bought the milk powder turned it into infant formula. The dosage was definitely enough to kill an infant, which it did.
