Everybody needs to eat stuff. And if it is about reducing pain and having a better climate impact, you should plants all the way. A cow eats 50 times the amount of plants that it gives back in meat.
The cow meat is already there, in the store. Individual choices do not affect the climate. It is disrespectful to not consume it.
demand and supply are a thing
But it tastes better
I’m sure there’s poison that tastes good. Go eat that, Mr. Bigot.
Then raise a cow and kill it.
So the choice is meat or division of labor?
I don’t have the space for it, though I’d really like to have a little farm of my own.
I’m afraid I’m going to need a better argument than “I support killing animals because it makes me feel good.”
NOW THAT’S WHAT I CALL SHITPOSTING VOL. 68
Yo fuck that propagandist piece of shit Joe Rogan. Keep him off of my feed.
I’m constantly dismayed to find that brain damaged ape, topping the podcast charts weekly. He’s such a disease
There’s no way this won’t restart the same argument with someone, huh? Top-tier shitpost, well done.
Thanks, I saw it come across my FB feed and knew what had to be done.
Lemmyworld admins be like
There was a Hungarian cult that convinced others that people can survive by eating light. There were some deaths and was quickly shut down, but they exist forever in anorexia-related jokes.
I think you’re talking about Breatherism? There’ve been a couple of those cults all over Europe. It’s not particularly popular, luckily, but they often make it to the newspapers, because someone usually dies.
It originates from Hinduism though. There’s a another Indian religion called Jainism. These are the monks you see brushing away the beetles before their feet, to not step on them. It’s very much about nature and spiritualism and being good. Fasting is a key concept of this religion and the most extreme cases will choose to fast until death to cleanse the world. This is all very spiritual though and takes years of preparation.
Let’s go to the extremes here: let’s say I’m a vegan, and love snakes and want my snake to not eat live mouse, do you think I can feed the snake vegan snake food?
This is all hypothetical as I dislike snakes and love bacon.
That’s not how knowledge works.
That’s why I only eat fungi. It’ll be reciprocal eventually.
Fun fact, humans share more DNA with fungi than they do with plants. We share nearly 50% of our DNA with fungi.
Plus mushrooms are the sex organs of the mycelium organism. Just an extra fun fact for free there.
So, OP eats mushroom dick. Got it.
It’s my understanding that fungi came around rather late in the game. Long after animals and plants both.
Ew, Joe Rogan.
Rogan would know. He has sucking down his own air biscuits so long he thinks they taste great.
Everything that is, is alive.
Finally we have one thing to pin on like 3 weird vegans.
I mean if you stretch it enough even cells know they are being eaten
Yeah, that’s absolutely what keeps happening with these news items. “Lifeform demonstrates reaction to stimulus!”
What will Staples do?
