THAT IS ONE HUUUGE GOLDEN RETRIEVER...
I know right and look at the size of that rabbit!
Why are rabbits left of horses? I thought rabbit meat was much more common than horse meat.
Also chicken should be all the way to the right, seeing how it's the most cruel source of nutrition for calorie, but why am I even trying to use logic here...

I'm with you, horse and rabbit should be switched.
But they have cats three times and dogs four, so whatever.

They are filthy, filthy, filthy. They require a pond and they make the worst mess.
That said, Weird Al has a counterargument:
Regarding the image, they should have had one dog and one cat to show that most of the animals we keep around are for food, and relatively few are pets.
If they put the proportion in terms of how many of those animals humans keep in the US, cattle, cats, and dogs would be similar at around 70-90 million. About 65 million pigs. About 45 million turkeys eaten per year.
Then we get to chickens.
In the USA, we eat 8 billion chickens a year.
That's 100x the nearest meat producer. That's 253 chickens processed per second, 24/7.
253 delicious chickens. Or, to put it another way, about 24 chickens per US citizen per year, one every other week.
So the sign should really just be 90% chickens, and 10% all the other animals.[DOUBLEPOST=1464123418,1464123188][/DOUBLEPOST]Shoot, I just realized we are under our quota! We have 10 people in our family, meaning we should be consuming 5 a week, but we go through 1-2 chickens a week.
Good thing others are taking up the slack for us. KFC be praised!

Well, nobody's perfect.
In Europe, that line could easily be moved two spaces to the left (and one space for the USA if rabbits and horses were swapped, since you can buy rabbit meat here). In parts of Asia, you can move the line all the way left.[DOUBLEPOST=1464136449,1464136411][/DOUBLEPOST]
Ted talks are getting weird.
Guess where yeast in beer and bread came from...
..."wild" fermentation? At least, I believe that's the current theory.

To give some perspective to that, my parents were too busy buying Starter jackets and Nikes for my older brother and relegating my clothes options to the stuff he outgrew three years ago. So when I suddenly didn't want to wear these expensive as all hell shoes and clothes (because they were laughably out of date), I was the one who got shit on... while he was getting all the name brand shit still.

My little brother lucked out in that department, as he is 8 years younger than me, by the time he came along, all my clothing that otherwise might have been handed down was gone, over the course of having to move every 2-3 years in military life. About the only thing he got that used to be mine were some of the more durable toys - for example, all my Legos.

@Bubble181 the character on the right is named Precious.
I have a hard enough time explaining to people that the "hard drive" is not the box with the button on the front that spits out the coffee-cup holder, it is properly called the "tower."
Also when I say to someone, "You are running your computer out of RAM, you should install more RAM," more often than not they reply, "But it says I have over 200GB free!" Yes RAM and storage space are both measured in GB but they are not interchangeable, at least not yet.

Back when I bothered to attempt to explain to these people such things in terms they could understand, I told them that the hard drive, or storage, is "long term memory," things the computer can remember when it needs to, and that RAM, or memory, is more like "attention span," how many things the computer can keep track of all at once. Thus, it doesn't matter if your computer can "remember" 500 gigs of stuff, it can't remember or think about it all all at once, and the more "attention span" the computer has, the more it can handle doing.
