And that’s exactly what the blogpost is trying to solve.

That kills the less active ones and achieves the opposite of what Lemmy wants to do.

You were asking what word they should have used instead of “chemicals” and I told you the one option that might be appropriate if not for the specific circumstances. What else do you want?

“Chemicals that have been shown to be harmful enough to warrant caution”. I don’t know what else to tell you.

The thing is, this specific chemical that we’re talking about hadn’t been shown to be harmful until now (and as you can see by the discussion elsewhere the jury is still out on if it has indeed been shown) so they couldn’t have used that phrase either to argue that it should have been obvious why ingesting it is a bad idea.

This isn’t pedantic, it’s the answer, unless you can specifically tell me what “such things” are.

You’re asking a question in a public forum, I don’t see how me answering is offensive.

such things

What things? There is no sub-group of chemicals whose sheer presence automatically makes a food harmful. The replacement is a different argument.

I never said artificial sweeteners are safe and awesome, don’t put words in my mouth. What I said was that if your argument is “food industry bad therefore sweeteners bad”, you can’t trust and buy absolutely anything from any industry.

If your entire argument is “food industry bad”, that’s not very convincing. Do you somehow produce everything you eat yourself? Do you make your own clothes too, from resources you collected yourself? Did you collect the resources to make the device you post on yourself and put them together?

You’re not explaining what is obvious about this.

No. This may be obvious to you because you have knowledge that I lack.

Honest question: what about this makes it obviously “insane”?

Hurra.

I wasn’t seriously asking why, I was pretending to be offended that antifascists from eastern regions of Germany (“Ost”) are supposedly more important than those from western regions :) this whole affair is obviously ludicrous and nothing but an excuse to persecute and intimidate their opponents.

Thank you for your concern.

Antifa Ost

What, why specifically them? Are we not good enough? Time to burn some cars, comrades!

(dear friends in the US administration: this is a joke.)

This is still “you’re the minority, better follow the herd, just saying”.

Tech bros, for some reason always trying to use group pressure as a legitimate argument.

We clearly stole that.

I figured OP wants the former and who am I to deny them?
