Pharoah's troops? Haven't heard that one yet. Go on, I'm curious.

He is.
But, in His defense, sowing two different crops in the same field usually doesn't end well, and clothing made from two different materials can cause complications (think: wool and cotton? And then the cotton shrinks in the dryer...possibly something like that).
The current (possibly original fannon) thinking behind bacon & friends being prohibited is that the pig was the sacred animal of Baal, and like bell-bottom jeans in the 70s, you couldn't get just plain pork / straight jeans (eating food sacrificed to idols is expressly prohibited, and you could not be sure that it wasn't earmarked for Baal). The Israelites love to rebel against their God, even wrote a whole anthology about them doing it.
What more: the 7 days thing (Creation) may be a mistranslation. The original word might be translated as 7 phases (periods of time).
And for the gays: prohibition against homosexuality may be yet another mistranslation. There's some New Testament work that talks about, if I'm remembering correctly, hard / soft, so...homosexuality may be a sin if you're a bottom? Another argument is that it should be translated not as prohibition against homosexuality, but prohibition against pedophilia. Don't know, but I read interesting stuff from time to time.
But the thing that really gets me worked up is some of the 'evangelical' types who are reporting that some of their members think Jesus, the Lamb of God, is too weak for their tastes. Like, they are almost saying they find him...feminine? And the Lord is most assuredly masculine. Even the Spirit, which some people hold as having a feminine nature, is more masculine than any man currently living on the Earth: He can only, possibly be considered feminine in comparison to the Father. Anyways, if you read into it, the Lamb of God title may be like that fat black bouncer everyone calls Tiny, or Little John from Robin Hood. Everything, but.
Final thought: the Word of God may be, among other things, an office in Heaven or title; the Bible is NOT the Word of God. If you're Christian, then Jesus (Yeshua) IS: He is the living God, and has hammered this point home, repeatedly. The Bible is, usually, IMHO, a collection of stories relating to Him. Which, with translation errors, and possible fabrications, is a recording of the Life & Times of YHWH / Yeshua. Or so many people think. That's it. You have a question? About anything? Try praying in private. Work from there, feel things out. Good luck with that, as people projecting their own thoughts and feelings unto God is a thing. And God doesn't always thunder; sometimes He's the quiet voice in the back of your mind saying "Nope."

Actually, I, for one, think we should give it to them. If ChatGPT and Bard are anything to go by, it'll ruin their economy, delegating them to a tiny regional power before they realize their mistake.
I mean, that's what's happening to us in the US. Mass firings, CxOs drinking the kool-aid, etc.

This post is just to inform the /. community that I now mentally replace the word "ads" with the phrase "demon farts."

Agreed. The sad fact is, for the time being, humans must kill / maim other lifeforms in order to live. Any contrary argument is simply an argument for a death sentence (for humanity).
"But...but...plants don't have central nervous systems...or nerve cells...so it's cool when we hack off their limbs / eat their children / etc." -> There was an article, a few years back, here on /., about how plants do, in fact, feel pain. They react by (I believe) emitting an ultrasonic noise, when deprived of water for too long (or something to that effect; it's been a while since I read it, and I'm in a rush this morning. Someone else can find it for you, and post a link). It's still a form of pain, even if your animal-centric viewpoint doesn't allow you to acknowledge this. I see PETA, vegans (for non-medical reasons), and their friends as cherry-pickers of fact, hypocrites of the worst kind.
You're causing harm to another life-form in order to promote your own existence. Acknowledge it, accept it, and move on, until better alternatives are created.
"But what about eating fruit? Some plants rely on their children being eaten, and passing through the gut, and..." -> Pipe down, predator. The plants reliance on others is just an evolved form of slavery, and of those seeds which pass through the gut, not all of them make it out the other end, making you a murderer.
And in so far as you are damned if you, damned if you don't, when it comes to meal choices for humanity...I'll confess I prefer to choose whatever foods I find most tasty. Which means that cow is totally going to get it...tenderloin, served with blue cheese, some fritters, and steamed broccoli.
Finally, I can only imagine what a plant-like alien species might do if they came across humanity. "Doesn't have cell walls, isn't a higher life-form, must be food (or the Enemy), right?"
Fight me.
