We could have had Bernie. I can't even imagine how different so many things would have been...

[–] Thteven@lemmy.world 84 points 8 months ago (10 children)

We weren't allowed to have him, some rich people would have slightly less money.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 23 points 8 months ago (6 children)

Who do I vote for so rich people can have a lot less money?

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

That's the fun part. You can't. They have had studies since the '70s that show that if they'd pay everyone a thriving wage, they'd be even richer than they are. Funny thing, when the working class has disposable income we buy shit. They are no longer interested in their net worth. The new high score is how many people they can kill with needless suffering before we realize that scarcity actually disappeared in the '70s, and everyone should be living their best life, and we decide to kill them back.

I'd be feeding my cat so much more salami.

[–] SailorMoss@sh.itjust.works 9 points 8 months ago

Never let your cat forget that a better world is possible. ✊🥲

Bernie being pro-cat even though they can't vote is very in character, standing up for the maginalized

Israel is trying to figure out how to call him anti-Semitic

My cat when it sees me opening the fridge: I am once again asking for your salami support.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This is my cat anytime I'm in the kitchen. She thinks that the sole purpose of that entire space is to store her food.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

You fail to understand who let who stay where.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 8 points 8 months ago

Try telling your cat that salami isn't possible because of gridlock in Congress.

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 34 points 8 months ago

I remember how much this pleased me at the height of Bernie's campaign. :(

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 22 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Salami seems awfully salty for cats

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 19 points 8 months ago (2 children)

They can get hydration out of ocean water. Little sadistic fuckers have really good kidneys. I doubt a small amount of salami will harm them.

[–] Patches@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (4 children)

And yet the majority of house cats die of Kidney Failure... 🤔

That's because wild cats get a lot of their water from their food, and they don't like drinking from stagnant water. Most people only feed their cats dry food and use a water bowl.

When I first got a water fountain for mine, I had to start cleaning the litter box twice as often. They also won't drink out of it if the water isn't running.

They're finely tuned instruments. High octane race cars would be an appropriate example. The majority of those end up "dead" from destroying their engines.

Guys can we stop getting political at the dinnertable

Cars can have a little salami

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 6 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Salami isn't good for cars.

[–] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Who are you to judge where I put my salami?

Based Bernie, per usual

[–] Glide@lemmy.ca 20 points 8 months ago

As a treat.

[–] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Is she really suggesting cats should only eat processed garbage cat food their whole lives? Reason #744 to support Bernie!

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 22 points 8 months ago

yeah, my cat deserves a bit of processed salami along side their processed cat food!

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 16 points 8 months ago (1 children)

All natural salami, picked from the freshest salami trees

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Much healthier than ham from the ham mines.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Cats can absolutely have salami. Only a little though.

For those mentioning salt, cats are not dissimilar to us when it comes to salt. Some is fine, a lot can be very very bad for you.

Keeping in mind that the amount of salt that's okay is going to be a lot less because cats are much much smaller than we are. A low sodium diet for a human, in grams of sodium, would be a lot of sodium for a cat.

With that, a little should be fine. Once in a while.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Give Bernie a little salami

[–] bfg9k@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago
[–] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 7 points 8 months ago

If I feed my cat salami, that per se makes the salami cat food.

[–] blahsay@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago (9 children)

If cats can eat grass, entire mice, and weirdly even potato chips then I'm pretty sure salami is fine

[–] shifted_drifter@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Cats eat grass to make themselves puke
