ha - what are you even talking about?
who says there's a body in this bag?
you can't prove anything.
okay, maybe there's some parts in there, but that's all!
oh - look at the time!
@Alice my 14 yo: "Wait... Then is a humanitarian crisis when there's too many cannibals or not enough people?"
@Alice Ask Joe Pesci about pescatarians.
@Alice You're close but just a little bit off. A humanitarian is someone who only eats Humana employees.
@Alice They eat fish too, but not vegans
@Alice "You are what you eat."
It was hard to be a vegetarian who had to pick bits of meat out of her teeth in the morning. She was definitely on top of it, though. Definitely, she reassured herself. It was Angua’s mind that prowled the night, not a werewolf mind. She was almost entirely sure of that. A werewolf wouldn’t stop at chickens, not by a long way. She shuddered. Who was she kidding? It was easy to be a vegetarian by day, It was preventing yourself becoming a humanitarian at night that took the real effort.

if you only eat vegetarians, doesn't that make you a vegetarian too?
@paul_ipv6 I believe that would be called a vegetarianian.
@Alice Yes! And I'm authoritarian.
@Alice Ppl aren't ready to talk about how consensual cannibalism is more ethical than carnism
@Alice I’m not falling for this again.
@Alice I'M A SITUATIONAL HUMANITARIAN. IT'S LIKE LIVING ON GAS STATION FOOD.
@Alice Interesting thought!!
@Alice
Allegedly, your honor
@Alice No that's a Republican.

Mmmm hooman
@Alice Yes and they are quite tasty. (don't eat the old ones they can be a bit chewy)
@Alice Egalitarians only eat eagles, also a disgusting practice.
interesting question @Alice!
whilst not my area of expertise, these are my 2¢ after googling shit:
cannibalism = eating the living tissue of the same species from any of the kingdoms of life.

cannibalism = eating the tissue of the same species from any of the kingdoms of life.
The kingdoms of life are Animals, Plants, Fungi, Protists, and Monera.
humanitarianism = eating human flesh without killing anyone.
i made a diagram to hopefully clarify this:

i would also be interested in @glasspusher's consideration on this matter.
The Venn diagram that @amiserabilist@beige.party (aka Paul) posted earlier, but with “the sweet, sweet flesh of the still living” added in.
sets
big = Cannibalism
inside it = Anthropophagy = humans eating humans
inside it separately
Human homicidal cannibalism
Human necro-cannibalism / Humanitarianism

@Alice of course.
And Bob tastes particularly delicious this thanksgiving
Someone who ALSO eats humans? Like, I'll have a soup and a Hum-burger... or something like that.
That's what I thought!
@Alice Indeed, and a cannibal eats only cannonballs
@Alice I'm a vegetarian, but I also eat bread and cheese, so I guess humanitarians can have a nice sandwich.
@Alice yes but only if they're free-range
too much logic will devour us all!! 😭
