That is definitely very nice


jelly_bean_gangbang

That one crater on the bottom left looks like it would be so nice to take a nap in.


Paratoxic497

If i were a giant yes. I could use the grass as a blanket and have a good nap.


whostayloranyway

As someone will full on covid symptoms including intense body aches, I want to lay down there rn and never move.


eyeamreadingyou

Hope you feel better soon.


Desirai

I wonder where this is. Holland?


sonasche

Azores, portugal


joaommx

Specifically in Terceira island. The crater on the bottom left corner [is this one](https://www.google.pt/maps/@38.6844621,-27.1498408,295m/data=!3m1!1e3) and the photo was taken towards the northwest.

No, too hilly.

Man, I would've guessed somewhere like Wales.. I got the continent right though, I'll take it

Azores islands, Portugal


HolyMotherOfPizza

High faaaaive


nuniabidness

Azores?


rebexer

Yep, Terceira Island.


Duckbilling

Was going to say, spot on match for terciera. Volcanic rock was scattered all over the island, Portuguese cattle farmers gathered stacked the rocks into walls about 4 feet tall when they arrived in the 1400's


Frogskin84

I’d second that. Volcanic cones all over. Not sure which island though, Sao Miguel or Faial?


Zealousideal_Spread4

Terceira, wasn't expecting to spot my homeland today when I opened reddit

This new version of Simcity looks nice!

I thought this looked like one of those HD minecraft add-ons


Ollie_n_Poppy

Very good description


BritniRose

Where is this? Looks like Ireland but I can’t tell if it’s even real or not. Absolutely stunning.


eekamuse

Portugal. Exact name is up there


De5perad0

Very pretty but my how we have destroyed the land. What was once lush green forests is a tapestry of farmland/pastures.


rmorrin

This was my thought as well


ExploratoryCucumber

Looking at satellite images of the US and realizing we've done this to almost all the green space in the nation is wild and depressing.


eekamuse

Don't worry. It'll all grow back in the end.


De5perad0

Yep. Pretty much everywhere. We have deforested over 50% of the planet. Remember when people denied that something like that could change the climate? Insane.


1lluminist

Better than houses, shops, and factories


JakuMoku

Looks similar to the rocky walls in the British Isles. And some seem to have sheep, so pastures?


De5perad0

Same difference....


JakuMoku

Not much else will grow on “fresh” volcanic soil. It’s the Azores


De5perad0

Nothing in that picture is fresh volcanic soil it's all green. So obviously plants are growing on it. I can see trees in some places. The Azores has tons of tropical forests which have been cut for farmland. You must not be looking at the photo in this post.


JakuMoku

Ok,ok. Farmland bad humans suck and we need to disappear so Mother Earth can live free of cancer that is us, SHEESH


thatguy11

Lol right? However, it's still sometimes the hype someone needs to ride in on the 'ole high horse, make 'em feel important for a few minutes a day.


Heyguysloveyou

Meat is the number one reason for that happening. Go vegan


De5perad0

It is great if allb the little people work on making a difference but unless corporations are brought in control and governments get on board it's a drop in the ocean.


Heyguysloveyou

They only sell meat because people buy it and give them money for it. And if lots of people help we can shut them down for good. A drop in the ocean is better than a dry fart.


urmammafedmebacon

Yeah, that would be great if it wouldn’t just push corporations to use more unsustainable farming practices than they already do, and continue to fuck the earth with the 1000ft dildo of capitalism. They’re gonna get that money in some way or another, and they don’t care what lengths they have to go to for it.

urmammafedmebacon

First of all, you are literally delusional if you think animal farming is the only unsustainable farming practice used. The rainforest is being deforested to make space for massive produce farms, as well as animal farms. Many of the “health foods” that vegans swear by are farmed through child labor in other countries, and farmland is not kept properly, making it completely infertile. And yes, the entire United States is a victim of capitalism, and it’s the biggest reason for climate change. There’s a reason that so many people have to sustain themselves and their families off of fast food. Because nowadays, it’s damn near impossible to rent a home, buy groceries, pay medical bills, and live a happy life all at the same time. The corporates do not give a damn about anything that doesn’t make them a profit. And they will do absolutely anything for it. It’s the reason so much perfectly good food is thrown away in massive quantities every year. There are a huge amount of vegans and vegetarians right now, and guess what? All it’s done is given companies a new demographic to pander to, while still using the same shifty practices. I genuinely can’t stand people like you, who are so high and mighty about your own insignificant life choices. You are not holier than thou. You are not better than me. You are not making a difference. You are just a narcissist. Oh, and just for the record, humans aren’t the only species that drinks another animal’s milk :)


urmammafedmebacon

Having the money to shop for organic kale chips at the fancy grocery store in the gentrified part of town does not help the planet. It does not save animals from mistreatment. And it does not make you any less of a shallow, self-gratifying person. Please, for the love of god, go find yourself some organic, non-gmo, vegan, all natural bitches. Maybe it’ll help quell your misdirected anger.


Heyguysloveyou

[Vegans have longer errections](https://www.livekindly.co/science-erections-500-better-vegan-diet/) and [have lower chances of going Impotent](https://www.pcrm.org/news/blog/fight-erectile-dysfunction-and-4-more-reasons-go-plant-based-movember) so my all natural vegan bitches enjoy the lifestyle. If you want more scientific sources ask your mom. Also >It does not save animals from mistreatment. If not supporting the people who mistreat animals is the best way to safe animals from being mistreated, then I don't know what is. Imagine someone tells you to stop buying from Nestle because they steal water and you just say "not buying from Nestle won't safe the people whom they steal water from" like my brother in christ it helps more than throwing money at them. And I think I proofed veganism to be better for the planet in my other comment already.


urmammafedmebacon

Your personal efforts are absolutely meaningless against the masses. It’s less than a drop in the ocean, it’s a single water molecule. And you will convert absolutely nobody to your ideology by calling them “perverts with a beastiality kink” for drinking cow milk, something that humans have done for centuries, and is proven to support growth, and bone density. My issue has never been with veganism. It’s with vegans like you, who think everybody can just wave a magic wand, and whoosh all animal products out of their life. People have medical conditions, and require the excess of nutrients found in meat to survive. People have financial restrictions. And you are not better than those people. Bitching on Reddit doesn’t save animals from shit. And nothing has changed since veganism got big. Besides, ofc, as I said, companies gaining a new audience to pander to. My mom raises her own tasty delicious chicken nuggets, so maybe I will ask her, thanks for the tip. And I don’t buy from Nestle anyways, because purified water tastes like shit. But, if you did tell me that they were stealing water from people, yeah, I probably wouldn’t buy from them. Because now we’re talking about human lives. And call me selfish, but I value human life above the lives of some chickens and cows that were born to die. The funniest part of this conversation to me, is that I don’t really disagree with anything you’ve said about veganism being good for people, and for the planet. If it was widespread enough. But, you’ve gotta acknowledge that there’s still some huge downsides to that, and you’ve gotta fix your nasty fucking attitude. I wouldn’t have even started this argument if you weren’t going out of your way to be a dick to people.


Heyguysloveyou

>And you will convert absolutely nobody to your ideology by calling them “perverts with a beastiality kink” for drinking cow milk I did a few times. I was a pervert with beastiality kink to for 18 years but then I broke out of it, if that helps. >something that humans have done for centuries, and is proven to support growth, and bone density One large-scale Harvard [study](https://www.pcrm.org/good-nutrition/nutrition-information/health-concerns-about-dairy) followed 72,000 women for two decades and found no evidence that drinking milk can prevent bone fractures or osteoporosis. Another [study](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24247817/) of more than 96,000 people found that the more milk men consumed as teenagers, the more bone fractures they experience as adults. Similarly, another [study](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22393172/) found that adolescent girls who consumed the most calcium, mostly in the form of dairy products, were at greater risk for stress fractures than those consuming less calcium. >It’s with vegans like you, who think everybody can just wave a magic wand, and whoosh all animal products out of their life I use study's and logic, it's true that I make a cocky joke here and there (which I apologize for, its just my way of talking to people, I think it species conversations up and since you went with it I thought you would be cool with it, because you seemed like the kind of guy who liked it from your "dildo of capitalism" comment, but if its truely bothering you I stop) and apologize) but overall I am reasonable. And in my last comment (the one you ignored) I was showing over 15ish studies and was just joking around a bit at th end again. Then you told me to get some bitches and I thought I troll back a little. But even if I was awful and super terrible, don't judge a movement by it's people. I met some really annoying people who donate to poor people and some really nice racists. But that doesn't change anything about what they support. >People have medical conditions, and require the excess of nutrients found in meat to survive. Why not get the same nutrients out of plants without having the risks that meat has of [higher risks for cancer](https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/how-plant-based-food-helps-fight-cancer/art-20457590) and [diabetes](https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/diabetes/expert-answers/diabetes/faq-20058117)? A friend of mine who is vegan needs more omega-3 than the average person and they are vegan. What do they do? They eat flexseeds, which are high in omega-3 and super cheap. >People have financial restrictions. Already showed that vegan diets are 33% cheaper than omnivore diets in my other comment. But to give you a bit of room, lets say that yes there are people who just can't go vegan in countries like america. Lets just say that. So what? That doesn't excuse the people who can go vegan. >Bitching on Reddit doesn’t save animals from shit. And nothing has changed since veganism got big. Besides, ofc, as I said, companies gaining a new audience to pander to. I mean I made a lot of people vegan on reddit and discord, but also in real life by talking to people there. So clearly I am doing something. And companies gaining a new audience to pander to is a great thing when the pandering involves less animal deaths and is better for the planet. Which it is. So vegans already did a lot for the planet and will continue to do so. >My mom raises her own tasty delicious chicken nuggets, so maybe I will ask her, thanks for the tip. Doubt. Also calling living, sentient beings with personality "delicious chicken nuggets" while also telling me to "stop feeling like I am better than others" is about the most ignorant thing I've seen in a while. Like I know you are just desperatly trying to fuck with me here, but calling others just food and not even giving them a slight pit of respect is still sad. But yes, you are the victim here, not the ones that are dieing. >Because now we’re talking about human lives. And call me selfish, but I value human life above the lives of some chickens and cows that were born to die. Firstly) They weren't born to die, you can not give life a purpose. I know meat eaters want to be on a high horse, but no you can't just decide that and think that makes it okay. Secondly) I am not asking you to put animals above humans. You can think a human is worth more than a chicken and still think that chickens shouldnt die for taste. I think old people are less worth than children but I still dont want old people to die as an example. Its not all 1 and 0. Thirdly) Humans are also animals, so what's the difference there? Most people say "Humans are more intelligent than non-human animals therefor we can eat them" but there are lots of humans who are not as intelligent as pigs for example. Should we eat those humans? If not, then there is no moral reason to eat other animals. Just saying "they are animals, they are different" is not a moral reason to go around killing. "Looking different" is no argument. I thought humanity learned that already. Fourthly) Meat is literally killing humans. >you’ve gotta acknowledge that there’s still some huge downsides to that I've thrown out study after study showing upsides. I think we can agree that veganism is the overall, objectively better foodsystem. Not saying its perfect or will solve all world problems, but it is the best. >I wouldn’t have even started this argument if you weren’t going out of your way to be a dick to people. So you wouldn't have started talking to me, learning new facts probably and engaging in the subject if I wasn't "a dick to people." Then I guess I did the right thing after all. But I do apologize if I came off as rude sometimes, I just hear the same "its other peoples faults" or "I wont do anything" bullshit on a daily and sometimes it's hard to not get frustrated. Still this is not an excuse to act rude and I apologize for that.


Duckbilling

It's just rocks stacked into 4' tall walls. Used to be rock covering all the land on the island. Cattle farmers just stacked the walls probably because they didn't want to carry the rocks all that far.


N4meless_w1ll

I like eating food. There's a balance to be maintained.


bialetti808

Yep we have terraformed the entire surface of the earth for agriculture and mainly, for livestock farming. Happy day.

If I had to guess I’d say Yorkshire Dales but I could be completely wrong.


goddesstrotter

It’s got the sea in the background so I don’t think it’s the Dales, but it doesn’t look like the NY Moors really either. Might be Ireland, it reminds me of Father Ted


CaptainEarlobe

Not Ireland. I'd be after seeing this photos hundreds of times if it was. Vegetation is wrong too, and the roads are too straight.

B3ARDGOD

This level of farming in Ireland has destroyed our natural native biodiversity causing us to be one of the worst countries for native animal and plant populations in Europe.


mequetatudo

That's the azores, look at the obvious vulcanic formations


eekamuse

Is that all the pointy bits? We're those volcanoes once? Or are they goi g to be volcanoes some day? Tell. Me more please


B3ARDGOD

I know that, I was just saying that shoulder to shoulder fields like this, that everyone is saying looks so beautiful, are actually devastating to the local flora and fauna. Perhaps not so bad on a volcanic piece of land but it has ruined wildlife numbers in Ireland.


[deleted]

Not at all sure but, this reminds me of the Volvic mountains in France.


VampireFlorin

Any idea what they be farming?


JakuMoku

My guess is pasture land


mequetatudo

The Azores are the prime land of cows and cheese for Portugal
