This is a good basic starter, but there's so much more that can be done for efficiency and further reducing your impact while owning a house. These are a few off the top of my head:

• Installing high efficiency windows and doors
• Keep/add the mud room
• Add better insulation
• If you're in the middle of a remodel, check for water distribution efficiency
• Grow a small hydroponic garden for your most commonly eaten veggies
• They're currently pretty rare, but adding a recycling water shower
• Battery assisted fridges and stoves (there's a healthy dose of nuance between this and home battery backups)
• Form a community microgrid

I don't know if this was true when they posted it, but conservation efforts are working! They're considered near threatened for their small habitat and endangered to give it protected status

Who's to say anyways. Might as well try it. You know, for science

I can understand that, though I feel like that's part of what makes it funny, subverting expectations.

you're thinking of the legal definition of wage theft. This meme is about how all profit is made by stealing the surplus value of workers.

Take every cat you see home. As for those scenarios:

1. Your neighbor is trying to trick you so they can have the cat for themselves, don't fall for it. Take the cat home.

Think about gifting in a broader sense, like consider the whole of the person rather than just their hobbies. They might like golfing, but has there been any "I could use this" talk about something else? Do they even like receiving gifts? Like for example, I'm a computer nerd; you could never go wrong with a new mouse or a sbc. However, most people don't get me gifts. Instead they give me their time, because I don't really like gifts. The greatest gift anyone can give me is an unexpected call to spend some time together

Getting more involved with them as paid staff is also super culty. They provide you with admittedly nice housing when you get further up the org, but you have to follow puritanical bs otherwise they fire you and kick you out of the housing. This threat also extends to being a whistleblower.

No you didn't, it's called tree spiking. It was highly popular in the 70s to reduce the expansion of suburbs. Here's a book describing it
