Be the change you want to see in the world. Get some feeder rats from the snake store and rip ones head off with every meal. Bonus points for using teeths.

Those chompers are like 5 inch squares. Like a piece of bread made of bones

Without any stats, I suspect retouching is so prevalent, that basically Norway mandated every ad put a sticker on the copy, and consumers will just learn to ignore it. Hopefully that doesn't end up the case, because this is a great first step.

It also doesn't seem like there's any way for the consumer to find out the extent of the retouching. Like, let's say I'm interested in a product but the picture is retouched, can I find the original image anywhere to see a more realistic depiction of that product?

One of the complaints I have with Prop65 labels ('this product is known to the state of California to cause cancer' labels) is that its significant extra work for me, as the casual consumer, to figure out what and how much is in the product. So by default I would want to avoid it in general, but if there's only 3 options and they all have the warning, I can't tell if one is straight cancer another just has a little cancer dusted on and the third uses a much less cancerous alternative chemical that still falls afoul of the marking laws, but is barely harmful if used as directed.

You pay <1c /Kwh ?! That's crazy, we're 10x that here in the southeast US and I thought ours was pretty cheap

Oooh, that one for 'easiest biking route' would be useful to me. Hopefully these bounties get some traction

  1. do you need a battery to handle frequent outages?
  2. does your utility rate support it having a ROI?

If the answer to 1 is yes, go for it now, if the answer to 2 is an ROI less than 10-20 years, go for it. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense yet, imo.

Prices were stupid inflated during covid, so I imagine they're still trending downward for a bit.

That AS is cutting it close. It's a real post code though it seems

Ohhh, so it's basically unofficial wagon wheels, not hard wood. That explains the picture

I think that's the manufacturer's thought too, if it's a car replacement with much lower upkeep costs, they should be allowed to charge as much as a cheap car.
