Here are factors that might commonly be used to provide evidence for intent to eat:

• Storing the body in a way that preserves it in ways appropriate for consumption but not medical use

• Owning implements used specifically for the consumption of the target creature (e.g. a carving knife for a turkey, lobster crackers/pokers, etc.)

• Possession of ingredients habitually consumed with the target creature

• Communications or behavior signaling an intent to eat the target creature (this one is kind of obvious)

• Carnivorous character/personality tendencies (potentially provided by character witnesses before or against the defendant)

Interesting idea that intent would be such an important part of their legal system.

Like most popular social media sites, you usually won’t see very valuable discussion in the comments, at least in my experience. It’s mostly for people to post news, research, and so on, and follow the big names or organizations in their field.

Most of the valuable information is diffused via posts but I do put a bit of time and effort into trying to filter out all the crap posts like memes, the faux inspirational stuff, self-aggrandizing nonsense, etc.

The threat is a new sustainable community that’s sheltered from advertising that people could leave Factbook/Instagram/whatever and go to.

So then why was Meta trying to get Threads to be on the Fediverse? Of course they’re aware of any potential threats, no matter how small.
