Some companies (e.g. Vow) are focusing on producing niche deluxe products that are generally unavailable to the public. Dodo is one of the animals that are considered in cultivated meat because then they won't be directly competing with the traditional meat industry.

They have already made a mammoth burger (sort of).

I get the point, but, well... Have you tried bread!? It's pretty bloody awesome and amazingly versatile! Pickled cabbage is alright, but BREAD! Come on! Discounting ethical considerations, I would 100% choose bread over meat any day.

Side note: apparently ships could keep a Galápagos tortoise unfed and unwatered in their holds for up to 6 months before they slaughtered them for food. This sounds like a truly torturous death, but from a practical view this would certainly explain why they are now endangered.

forgot they call weed drug

~~Clearly you didn't, because weed is completely unrelated to this story. You saw the word 'drug' and assumed it must mean 'marijuana'.~~

Edit: You know what, this response was pretty dickish. Sorry. Ignore the above.

Dodo birds went extinct for a reason, Galápagos tortoises are almost there too.

I reckon they must be delicious, cultivated meat is likely the only way we're ever going to find out what the big deal is. If we can find out without slaughtering an animal then I can see no downsides.

The ruling means far-right leader Marine Le Pen could face a five-year political ban if her party is convicted in an ongoing embezzlement trial.

My dream is to one day read a news article about a court decision that actually has final concrete repercussions, and not something that will likely end up with 2-3 more appeals later down the track.

Sure, a genuine phishing e-mail wouldn't give a fuck. But fake phishing e-mails sent from an employer should give a fuck about retention and employee engagement. Drawing attention to how much you don't care about your employees while exploiting their emotions isn't all that conducive to maintaining a healthy workforce/morale.

There are ways to demonstrate the lengths bad actors are willing to go without being a douche.

As an example, find out something the employer actually will be doing (or already does) and pre-empt it with a related, but not identical, phishing test. After the test has elapsed, send a follow up explanatory e-mail, with genuine content e.g. "We won't pay you $10,000,000 to have a baby, but did you know about our generous maternity leave package?"

The only phishing e-mails I receive are from my employer. As a matter of process I report these e-mails like a diligent lackey, then upon receiving an e-mail congratulating me on passing their test, I report that one too. I think the non-test phishing reports undergo manual review so I hope I'm wasting someone's time somewhere in payback.

Still haven't forgiven them for a tone-deaf 'we care about you during COVID' phishing e-mail they sent when everyone was genuinely struggling.

Some people down vote popular things because they are popular.

Didn't downvote this myself, but I can understand why some people would. I have personally blocked numerous users and communities who post variations of the exact same post over and over and over again.

There are only so many times I can read the same bloody thing about Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Israel, and Linux.

I agree. Trump/Musk/Netanyahu are arseholes. Linux is awesome. But I don't bloody well want to read a variation of the same post every single time I access Lemmy.

I promise you that koala is not being pensive, it's probably just constipated; koalas aren't really known for their intellect.

Though being constipated is unfortunate because that means its babies are probably going to starve (koalas feed their shit to their young).

They're really doing everything in their power to destroy their own business model, aren't they?
