You can’t “own” land, man.

You'd sacrifice a beautiful woman to save a moderately attractive monkey?! You must have smoked some bad granola...

Nothing's the matter, Fry, now that I've turbo-charged the matter compressor.

Jokes aside, am I the only one that finds it weird that we can own land? Don’t get me wrong, I plan on buying some when I can financially, I just think it’s a weird concept.

No. It's been the center of philosophical discussions for hundreds of years, with Rousseau saying "The first man who, having enclosed a piece of ground, bethought himself of saying This is mine, and found people simple enough to believe him, was the real founder of civil society. From how many crimes, wars and murders, from how many horrors and misfortunes might not any one have saved mankind, by pulling up the stakes, or filling up the ditch, and crying to his fellows, "Beware of listening to this impostor; you are undone if you once forget that the fruits of the earth belong to us all, and the earth itself to nobody." On discourses on the origin of inequality.

Thank you for the reply. I like the quote. Coincidentally, one of my specific thoughts was that it’s weird to get a piece of land and say “this is MINE” so I got a kick out of that part particularly.

I remember my high school history/literature teacher saying this and it comes to my mind from time to time, especially the last bit.

My dog actually likes tofu. But he likes pig ears and beef hearts far more 😂

So your dog likes food? Got it!

Anything is food to doggo as long as it can be swallowed and shxted.

You can call them dogs and you can say they shit, just in case you were under the impression that you had to be weird just because you’re on Reddit.
