Frogposting is not what it used to be.
Many native /lit/ posters have appropriated frogposting as a persona. Myself I post frogs whenever I want to shitpost or be condescending, if I want to be serious I won't attach any images. Frogposting has turned from a curse to a gift, it allows posters to shitpost freely while announcing to all others that they can ignore the post if they want to.

When I was a child, perhaps 9 years of age, I visited Turkey
In a store, a market for fresh sea food of sorts, I saw lobsters trying to climb their way out of a closed basket
It was filled to the brim with them, so much so that it didn't close properly and there was a little gap they were trying to escape from, like they were waving their scissors at me from the basket
Haven't really been able to forget that one, the whole mass of them moving all their different extremities and trying to escape
I wish I could have helped

Is it weird that I feel more empathy towards the lobsters in my memory than, for example, a chicken I ate yesterday?
Chickens don't look much like people either, but I still feel like there is more kinship and similarity between a human and a chicken than between a human and a lobsters you know

did you see the chickens fighting for life?
you will assume empathy for a living creature doomed to consumption if you see it not wanting to be killed
i have eaten meat all my life but i saw a rabbit shot and trying to escape and immediately went to help it, stopped the shooter and healed the rabbit
he is good. i still eat meat. i just don't think about.
