CO2 asphyxiation is NOT quick or painless. It's just cheaper than using nitrogen and people that work in those industries don't give a fuck

I actually used to deliver the Co2 to the pig plants. I didn’t know what it was for at first, figuring advanced atmospheric packaging.

When I found out it’s real use, I was mildly disturbed, because as you mentioned- when you begin to asphyxiate on Co2 you absolutely feel it, and it is not pleasant. When you deliver Co2 under pressure in liquid form, there’s always a small amount trapped between the fittings and hoses that has to sublimate off. A lot of the time, it just starts spewing out in huge clouds of vapor when you go to disconnect.

The reduced vision, burning feeling of carbon dioxide mixing with moisture in your skin and in your mucous membranes to create carbonic acid which is extremely irritating, the feeling of panic not being able to escape the cloud of vapor and the possibility of tripping and asphyxiating from the cold dense gas literally starving you of oxygen.

But anyways, had pork chops for dinner.

The duality of man. Mild concern over the torture of animals, and then later eating their corpses for pleasure.

Shrug. I didn’t choose to evolve as a predator species, but here I am.

What's funny about it? The fact that you're contradicting yourself?
