No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

An animal does not know pain until it dies since most injuries are fatal without societal support. Humans know the pain of dying and prolong it. Which is more brutal?
My pain isn't the knowledge of death, it's the experience of life and I feel like sleeping outdoors, having to kill to eat etc. Wouldn't be as pleasant of an experience as say eating a bowl of chili and watching a movie before crawling into a comfy bed
Also, when I step on my cat's foot it meows like it hurts, not sure what you're saying tbh not being snarky just confused what kind of pain do animals not experience? Depression, trauma etc?
Most injuries in the wild will lead to death quickly. Any kind of broken limb means no hunting and makes for easier prey. So not the most direct point initially, but the point was that the pain typically doesn't last long before starvation or death by a predator. So it doesn't hurt long before death comes. We drag it out as a society with medical support, familiar connections with people, and sharing news of atrocities at no benefit to us. I'm not saying one is better, I just feel one has a much shorter term of pain
I get where you're coming from but still beg to differ. Sure, the suffering of a broken leg may end sooner for an animal because death but what about the life without comfort that proceeded that energy? The savage wild where everything seems to want to murder you? Going without shelter, food etc? Meanwhile even in major poverty humans tend to have some form of shelter, some food, some support, friends, maybe benefits from the government etc.
Even people in prison have it better than animals and I'm not sure how dying faster = better life? Sure, it sucks (for some) that life is drawn out while others (especially the rich) live long happy lives enjoying every minute of it?
Not saying I don't understand where you're coming from just seems oversimplified to say they have it easier because they die faster
