Used to refer to people who have the lowest level of awareness of other living beings' welfare, physical and mental, especially animals; including those who exploit animals for their own gains. This word emphasizes how fundamentally connected humans and animals are via the same scientifically defined primate family, in terms of desires (e.g. for freedom, joy) and experience of physical and mental/emotional pain. This is NOT a racial term but rather a counterargument to Speciesism.

A portmanteau of carpe diem, a Latin phrase that means “Seize the Day!” and DM, which stands for Direct Messages. This word means seizing the day via DMs.
