What is your purpose?
(lemm.ee)
Turning good food into poop.
Thank Mr Skeltal for poop calcium
shitpost of the day
I too function this way! Hello human and/or other animal friend
This image is disturbing..... I can't wait to send it to my kids!
Wim Delvoye for reference. AFAIK it actually works, saw it in a museum once but it wasn't active at the time.
Thank you, that's wild!
My purpose is to create excess value to be harvested by shareholders in exchange for numbers in a computer that define my worthiness to continue to exist.
I pass butter.
I ask people why they have a special butter tray in their fridge
It keeps the butter hard and useless?
Going the health route I see. Butter is very unhealthy just like monopoly's go .it's best just to pass it.
Eating only lettuce and drinking 5L of water a day can also be unhealthy, just saying.
I think it's a category error to think of people as having (or having to have) a purpose. We just are.
People don't have to have a purpose : yes.
in such a situation, people still are : yes.
Furthermore, any lists of purposes I may choose today, if situations changes, I could have to modify tomorrow.
To seek out the Holy Grail!
Oh, purpose? I thought you meant AAaaaahhhhhh....
I'm not sure. A friend was talking about how her partner had been doing ayahusca and it cured his depression and made his personality turn 180 degrees around. It inspired me to try it again. I was doing it 10 years ago and it changed how I view the world. Maybe it's time again.
Our purpose is to evolve from animal-like beings that copy crude animal behavior and take as much as we can for ourselves and stash it away, into confident, generous and happy human beings that are a joy to be around. Which is hard to do considering the society we live in, and the fake lack of resources (money) we are forced to comply with.

There's no purpose. Life is a sandbox video game. I play it how I want.

Stopin myself from going off the deep end
A worthy cause - keep it up!

Work. Feed family. Take dumps. Repeat.

Trying to figure that out now. Waiting on some epiphany
I'm an artist. My only purpose in life is to draw and create
Trying to beat my brain into submission so I can sleep.
I'm basically a rainbow colored punching bag waiting to be used by homophobes (and transphobes) who just happened to train for boxing.
My country is filled with these people.
Writing books and getting people to read them.
I'm here to hopefully enjoy my time on this planet and help my wife do the same. That's about it.
Take care of my family, and to fuck with people who have too much power or take advantage of other pet.
As small of an impact I may have, to make the world a better place. To learn and grow and experience the inevitable pain and hardships along the way. To learn to love and provide for those in need. To serve.
To help defeat aging. Read the book Ending Aging by Aubrey de Grey.
Shouldn't we wait just a touch longer for the Boomer phase-out?
Make sure my cat is taken care of, and hope I find a more complex purpose and goal before he's gone.
I don't know. I just wait thing to happen. It is bored.
Why don't the world pick me as main character.
I guess i just an NPC. Perhaps the no-name NPC.
I have no objective purpose and I like it that way
