Why not skip the disgusting cockroaches entirely and feed the exes to the tigers instead?

There is almost definitely some sort of zoo rule against that, unfortunately.
Cruelty to Tigers, probably.

Absolutely, all the weird chemicals and other crap humans directly put in their bodies they're just not a healthy food source.
... add in that 'top of the food chain is where all the weird stuff accumulates' it'd be safer to feed them swordfish.

If you insist on putting weird chemicals into your body, you should at least have the good sense to throw alcohol in afterward, to sterilise them.

They should make the exes to go to the zoo to retrieve their mascots.

Was wondering what the automotive industry was like decades ago.
I assume there was some transitions from:
- hobby product
- advances make a semi-comman standard across competitors
- a few dominating companies emerge, like Ford (maybe with including boom and bust periods)
- Tipping point where the old way is replaced. Minimum speeds on roads make Horses illegal.
- REGULATION. (i might be missing a few steps)
My thinking is how we can apply the lessons learned to some of the scaremongering with the big tech companies.
After noticing the headline I Want To Kick The Tech Giants Out Of My Life, says Wikipedia Co-Founder - MSPoweruser
In comparison, the main car companies, need to follow many regulations to 1 supply a car to someone. then 2 that person requires to follow some regulation. (I am so over simplified something here)
Was there a transition period where people were like "I don't want to drive a car made by Ford cause I don't like Ford or any other big company." Except they are much safer products?

I think with the auto industry you have it somewhat backwards.
Ford, as the dominant company emerges
Maybe some hobbyists
Other companies emerge
Government steps in with regulations.

Sure. I want bigger tail fins, bigger engine, bigger back seat.

The origin and rapid evolution of the auto industry was as much a disruptive, transformational, series of events as the smelting of metals (iron, bronze) at the end of the neolithic, as the domestication of dogs, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, as large scale irrigation projects for somewhat reliable production of domesticated cereal grains, and, more recently, railroads.
Instead of fantasizing about it, why not read a good book ? The remarkable book "the Prize" by Daniel Yergin [^], which won the Pulitzer Prize, while focused on the oil industry, covers the "automobile age," and its visionaries, tycoons, and oddballs, in wonderful, vivid, detail.

Speaking of long-lived...why is Peanuts still being published? Didn't Schultz die like, well over a decade ago?
They still haven't had a single mildly amusing strip. And I don't mean since. I mean ever.

Sacrilege! I grew up on Peanuts. The subtle psychology was much better than any therapist to help me deal with my childhood traumas.

I respect that. Maybe I've had a relatively trauma-less childhood. 
...or never lost a kite to a tree, or had the football removed just as I was about to kick it, or ended up just in my underwear after being hit by a baseball.
I've read a lot of Peanuts back in my day...in fact I remember bringing in the mail from my grandparents' mailbox almost daily (they lived right next door) just so I could read the comics. Peanuts have never been laugh out loud funny to me, but perhaps I was expecting too much.
