Yes, with an extremely customised, unnatural diet, a cat may survive a vegan diet. They rarely thrive. But the point is that they're unable to do so naturally, most cats will not understand why their food isn't what they're naturally and instinctually supposed to eat, which causes them stress.

Cats have an instinct to chew on grass for digestive purposes, but that's about it when it comes to eating plants. Getting a proper vegan diet for a cat is extremely hard to do and unnecessarily stressful for cats.

Cat food in most cases already is discarded meat not fit for human consumption. You're not exactly saving a lot of animals by forcing a cat on an unnatural diet.

If you're vegan, feed your cat meat. If you don't want to do that, don't get a cat.

Imo cities like Bruges or Antwerp are much nicer.

Mine checks if you're awake. If not, she'll start knocking shit over until you wake up.

There's almost certainly some text preprocessor that treats training data first, so I'm not sure if your old-timey letters ever reach an LLM.

For those who might not know, this is the final scene from Finding Nemo. In English, it says "Fin", a fun pun.

I've seen the lines, people do buy this junk.

5 days is the period for a no-questions-asked reversal. It's a consumer right, SDD isn't just B2B. Banks do in fact offer a "magic money back" button for SDDs.

SDDs are what happens when you for example purchase an item (regular SDD) or a subscription (recurring SDD) online and provide your IBAN to the company providing it. The company then taking funds from your account with nothing but that IBAN is done through SDD. And yes, your bank will let you reverse that within 5 days, no questions asked (precisely because only an IBAN is required).

After 5 days, it's still possible (eg through MOI) but that's not guaranteed. I know this stuff because I deal with it professionally on a daily basis.

Banks can and absolutely do honor chargeback requests, though the terminology is usually different, even in the EU. But these are usually always honored (eg SDD Reversal or MOIs).

Sepa Direct Debits work in basically every SWIFT-connected country too, so that's most of the world.

The closest would be PayByBank, which basically just uses the bank's own instant payment systems. Or stuff like Tikkie would also be similar.

Might depend on the market. The Finnish market is not even a third of the Dutch market, so perhaps it's just a business decision whether they support it or not. They do support iDEAL without needing to enable anything.
