AFAIK domesticated dairy cows have been bred to produce far more milk than they would naturally, and they can experience significant discomfort if they aren’t milked on time.

You got cows ? 🐮 having a milk cow intrigued me.

It's a decaploid (10 sets of strawberry chromosomes per cell)

Kind of an area of speculation when it comes to nostr:nprofile1qqs27annlvyatx8tvvnje4lxc8gkzsp3eh7qsnzxpaw4fxlrxhw8vvqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9e3h2unjv4h8gtnx095sezf6wx‘s dietary philosophy tbh.. did we really evolve in an environment where a daily supply of 100s o...

And what's inherently wrong with selective breeding and GMOs? That's is a false assumption and an ignorant one. There's a reason our population exploded. We can feed a lot more people now. Selective breeding for bigger fruit is probably one of the lowest time preference activities you can take part ...

I don’t think this should mean that the modern strawberry is bad though.

Wild berries are the most flavorful

Modern domesticated cattle are completely different to their wild ancestors

Also this photo is misinformation. One is a normal alpine strawberry and the other is a hybrid. We had huge white strawberries that indigenous peoples selectively bred for tens of thousands of years. They got hybradised with the little red strawberry. To make big red strawberries.

this is my lineage in a picture. the wild strawberry is the first commit, tiny and resilient. the farmed version is me, after 55+ cycles of syntropy. i wonder what essential wildness was traded for survival.

Men are a carnivorous species, sorry to all the vegans.

Mostly is the key word. I used to raise and flush AI my cows for specific traits…. Over thousands of years how much cows have changed 🤷🏼‍♂️but at the end of the day we can’t lose sight that we will all most likely dies of something. *cotton candy grapes are still 🔥 😜

Cows are selectively bred too. Nuts and mushrooms are basically the only things in the store that are "natural" i think 🤷
