    If you think about it, it's odd that humans cook a lot of their food. Other animals don't bother.

    When you really think about it other animals don't do a lot of things we do, and they do things we don't.


    It's almost as if there's different species.

    Can't believe we sh1t in toilets either. We should be outside digging a hole with our hands then dragging our arse along the ground to clean ourselves.

    Its madness!!!

    Jacket potatoes would not be the same uncooked....

    We could eat our own young, uncooked.

    I, for one, am very happy that we don’t have have to clean our behinds by doing that “drag ass” thing you see dogs doing when they have worms or just a bit of an itch.

    Yup, basically searing t-bones gave us the calories needed to increase our brain size to make us the apex predator.

    It saves them having to do the washing up afterwards.

    Wonder who the sick fecker was that discovered if you throw a cow onto a fire that you get fab meat......and why did he do it in the first place?

    When you say they don't bother, you make it sound like they could but aren't that arsed.

    I'm very happy for you too Emmet, given the velocity, frequency, texture, and at times
    unpredictable nature of your bowel movements.

    Maybe the meat was frozen. Eggs and cow's milk is weirder.

    I want to meat the legend who made some bread and said fuk it, let's cook it again.

    Tapeworms used to be sold for weight loss.

    Maybe they don't need to because they don't cook their food?

    You should experiment for a year and get back to us. I suggest a year so you've time to get rid of any "backlog".

    I would prefer if we lived in a world where there is no laws, like it is in the animal kingdom. If you want to go to effort of working to earn money do so, but if you are strong or smart enough to take what you need off others then do so without anyone looking to prosecute you. It’s kill or be killed. But I will still cook majority of my food.

    They also don't get to enjoy the delicious taste of milk for very long.

    They can't just trot to the fridge and retrieve a stone cold carton of Avonmore. They'd have to try sneak a suckle of their mother's tit to enjoy their Weetabix.

    While laws may not have been codified for hundreds of thousands of years, there were still repercussions for doing what you're describing. You could be expelled or killed by the tribe. You're harking back to millions of years ago before humans.

    The fact that a pride of lions is smarter than you should concern you.

    Excuse me, I am quite “regular”. You could set your watch my, mid-morning, “deposits”.

    Well, bar that late night “trip” that has me hitting the hay with a “hot hole” for nearly a year now. It’s not very pleasant but I still get to sleep pretty quickly. But, it’s not an ideal scenario.

    My big fear with the “ass drag” thing would be getting my balls “caught” under myself. In many respects, animals are amazing creatures.

    Animals do have the random dogging each other down to an art form though.

    I read the etiquette thread, Emmet, I know you were accused of using "contaminated" fingers on your touchscreen after an unfortunate "doubler".

    A scurrilous accusation, it has to be noted, for a gent like you.

    Indeed. A “low blow” after a, particularly, troubling time for me. What nerve?!

    That thread needs a screening process to prevent that kind of miscreant entering, it should be a safe place to discuss intestinal misadventures and offer support to those affected by same.

    I feel your pain, although perhaps in spirit, rather than the nethers.

    I think that ass drag thing is very cool though.
    Always wanted to try it myself.

    All known human societies eat cooked foods.

    Cooked food made us what we are.

    If we stuck with raw foods we'd have all our energy directed to breaking down the raw foods. Our energy would be directed to our bellies, bigger jaws and stronger teeth. Now, we've broken that down outside our bodies - that previously wasted energy goes to our brains which led the age of consciousness for the human race.

    Now we have computers and the internet to research why we don't eat raw foods all the time.

    Chinese legend has it that a fire took out a house that had pigs in it.

    And something smelt nice.

    It took a while for them to figure you didn't need to burn a house down every time...

    I really think you’d need quite a “taut” ball sac, G. Any slack and your “plums” are going under.

    It’s a real worry.

    Its lucky that I dont have a ballsack then.

    You'd need a "neat" vulva then, less friction from weeds and rough grass. I don't think nettles and thistle would be pleasant.

    If you think about it, it's odd that humans cook a lot of their food. Other animals don't bother.

    So you want to be a raw foodist and by default a raw vegan?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,608 ✭✭✭✭Tell me how


    What about the first guy that squeezed the juice from their tits and drank it??

    Or the first guy to **** a bull and inseminated a cow?
    Tf was he at??

    Maybe, just maybe, both of these events were done after observing animals in action over thousands of years, thinking about it, discussing it with others etc as opposed to just waking up some morning with a radical idea and running with it.

    I have tried sushi and sashmi and I absolutely hate it. Give me cooked fish or don't bother.

    It is funny when you delve into it deeper though. Thoughts on cooked food, when it's gone cold vary wildly depending on what we're talking about.

    Acceptable to eat when cold:
    Ham
    Chicken
    Pizza

    Unacceptable:
    Black pudding (friend of mine loves it cold, and has a big bowl of it for his breakfast often, he's wrong though).
    Sasuage rolls
    Soup (except for that tomato one)

    I guess animals don't care all that much though.

    Sausage rolls are nearly nicer cold than hot

    A good lasting dose of the wild sh1tes from eating raw or undercooked chicken wouldn’t be long with answering the question for you op.
    The wild sh1tes with the fevers and chills would answer it for sure

    Can’t believe I’m only hearing that now. Explains all the funny looks I’ve been getting down the years...
