Yes. The other person said they were "carnivorous" though. Giant tortoises are not carnivorous.

Horses are also not carnivorous even though they do eat meat on rare occasions to survive.

Words mean things.

You're also wrong about horses. Put a steak on the ground in field of plentiful grass, horses will ignore it until it's rotted away to nothing. They do not just eat stuff outside of their regular died because its risk free and easily obtained.

Joke not funny, advice dumb. People no haha, give better advice.

Judging by those advice posts being massively upvoted - seems most agree.

What you're missing is that the ingredients of tattoo ink have changed dramatically in the last 100 or so years.

Prior to then tattoo inks were made mostly with soot or black ash mixed with plant oils.

Nowadays the inks are almost entirely synthetic, sourced from the same companies that make industrial paint, and have been tested and some found to contain carbon black nanoparticles, Texanol, BHT, 2-phenoxyethanol, and various other things that are confirmed (or reasonably suspected) to be toxic and which definitely wouldn't be in historical inks.

The proof should be entirely on the suppliers and administrators (tattooists) to confirm their ink and tattoos are safe, not the users. Yet their regulations are very lax in most countries, requiring no pharmaceutical testing even though they are injected into people's skin.

Not a biologist but I believe the latter. If the ink could be broken down by the macrophages in your lymph nodes it would likely be broken down in its intended location in your skin too, as there are lyphatic capillaries and vessels throughout our skin.

We identify the joke, it's just not very funny

Carniverous? All living giant tortoise species are herbivores.

Now who's stupid.

I have a paid Proton account and yet I still pay for AirVPN for years because of 1) how good their service is for torrenting 2) how cheap it is at black friday every year.

Or.. They ban VPNs and overnight the VPN providers start offering cheap VPS services that can run a self-managed VPN over them, or proxies, or tor exit nodes, or Wireguard/Tailscale exit nodes, or.. .

You can't ban people running private servers and routing encrypted data through them unless you want to shut down 90% of the internet.

Its corner-cutting to save assembly costs. Plastic tabs take sub-seconds to whack into place vs screws which take 20+ seconds each.

Theyre saving ~$100 on your car assembly process and the end result is you have a vastly more annoying car to work on and repair for its entire lifetime. Its beyond annoying.

Next step: you must have a camera enabed to use YouTube so we can directly monitor your facial expressions with AI✨ and save you precious rating time to recommend you better videos!

But really so we can ensure you're watching the ads.

I wanna say you're wrong, because AI is absolutely not an essential service - like say a water or power company failing would be (or arguably banks). But knowing how deeply the AI tech bros have sucked up to and supported Trump I have to sigh and agree with you that they will probably be rescued from their own stupidity by the taxpayer.
