You know those little things in life that people like to morally police and make you feel guilty about but you just can't muster up the shit to give?

This is a confession thread. I'll start.

I don't give a shit that you supposedly shouldn't feed bread to ducks. I don't care. Don't eat it then. People have been feeding them bread for decades and now we're supposed to bring them organic bloody walnuts or something? Or some other crap they don't want that doesn't float?
They can have my slightly mouldy bread and be grateful.

Over to you.

I don't give a shit about UPF

Oh good the local ducks in our park are pretty much fed entirely on bread from all the kids and there's loads of them and they're fine 🤷🏻‍♀️

Pandas.

They aren’t that bothered about continuing their own species so why should we care. They refuse to have sex with each other and have to eat about four times their own body weight per day. It’s unsustainable! Let them go extinct!

Omg yes!! Fuck Pandas!!

This is a bit twatty op. I take seeds, they love seeds. Your attitude stinks tbh.

The environment.

I'm not going to be here by the time it becomes a debilitating issue, so meh, couldn't give a single shiny shite.

Christ. This thread gets worse.

Sorry, what?

Feeding them bread is fine. Ducks 🦆 are not going extinct any time soon.

No one is saying feeding them bread makes them go extinct 🙄

It doesn't make it right though.

Itsthedress · 31/05/2024 23:06

So you don’t give a shit about potentially killing the ducks at your local pond. Because it’s inconvenient to get them something suitable. But also you want to feed them, so you’d rather make them ill than just not feed them at all?

You don’t sound like a very nice person, sorry.

YoureALizardHarry11 · 31/05/2024 23:06

Most of the mundane shit that people seem to care about I couldn’t give a flying shite about. Celebrity gossip and lifestyles, reality tv. Why? Concentrate on your own life 😂 Other than that I do see the importance of issues like climate change and poverty, I’m not selfish in that way.

Bumbleebeetree · 31/05/2024 23:06

Such a depressing thread 😩

theeyeofdoe · 31/05/2024 23:06

Who wins any football match ever, even if it is England/Scotland/women.
I don’t care about some people kicking a ball around.

I really don't think it is, even in winter. It's not part of their diet.

In fact, feeding too much of any item to ducks is a problem. The ideal is small amounts only.

Apart from it doing nutritional harm, it can encourage rats, who prey on the young.

Perhaps they shouldn't be so greedy then? As I keep getting told....just because it's there doesn't mean I need to eat it!

I don’t care about men in women’s toilets

Jesus, you really should. The kind of men who want to be in women's toilets are not the kind of men you want in there.

Lilacbluebells · 31/05/2024 23:07

I wish the fun police would swim away to their chopped grapes and peas and let the rest of us criminals gorge ourselves on some slightly stale bread 🍞

Rats are needed as part of the food chain. They are supper for owls and foxes and stoats and hawks and badgers, so while they are eating the rats, the ducks are safe.

EarringsandLipstick · 31/05/2024 23:07

Do you find reading difficult?

No, do you find comprehension difficult?

How would anyone sane not care about a man in a woman's toilet?

XenoBitch · 31/05/2024 23:07

You can get floating feed pellets from Tesco. I have a box ready for when I next walk along my local canal.

Yep, rats are wildlife too

You really don't understand how the ecosystem works!

Sure be lighthearted but an OP gleefully not caring about harming an animal isn't funny.

Hey I’m drawing the line at pandas.
Far cuter than anyone’s dog.
Leave pandas out if this.
Red pandas are also cute.

What trans women?

I couldn’t give a shiny shit about what the person next to me has between their legs.

ManilowBarry · 31/05/2024 23:09

A packet of defrosted frozen peas is a cheap way to feed ducks.

DuchessNope · 31/05/2024 23:09

All sport.

It’s slightly unfortunate that my job involves quite a lot of high profile sports things. I’ve negotiated high profile sports rights deals for years but have never got even a tiny bit interested in watching any of it.
