This is the point I always make to people. Eating meat was a technological innovation that went obsolete 10,000 years ago with the invention of agriculture. It’s like insisting that we should go back to driving coal-fired steam-driven cars.
I would LOVE to drive a steam powered car. Been binge watching then on YouTube lately. Everything about it is amazing. Visually stunning. Mechanically sound. Easily fixable, unless the junk that made them obsolete…plastic, can’t fix shit without diagnostic software that won’t be released, over priced components, stupid displays in the console, manufacturer lies on performance.
Good analogy…I guess
You left out, “coating everything within 50ft in a fine layer of soot”.
Nah, even old style steam engines usually get an oil fuel conversion. Smaller ones can run on pellets of sawdust. Nuclear engines are possible too, although I doubt anyone wants a high-energy density reactor without a lot of concrete shielding.
This ‘argument’ always annoys me so much. It’s the epitome of just responding something, so they can perceive themselves to have won the argument, while they’re just completely (and deliberately) ignoring what you’re actually saying. They’re not discussing with you, because they want to understand, they’re rather doing it, because they feel socially threatened.
Where all the vegans at to downvote these bloodmouths in our community?
One of the issues with Lemmy is that it doesn’t have the critical size for smaller communities to not get overrun by c/all.
I had never heard the term bloodmouth until now. That’s great lol
I typically reserve it for these “lol bacon” types that go into other peoples’ communities and walk around like they think any of us care what they have to say.
I’m happy to patiently explain anything to curious visitors, but I’ve got no patience for trolls.
That’s a good attitude for a vegmouth :)
*slaps mouth cheek*
This bad boy can fit so much broccoli and tofu.
Seems like they got banned. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Mods 💪
The issue is this stuff shows up on /all so many folks don’t even look at the community they just blindly respond to the meme
Yeah, on reddit it was pretty much just the really high traction r/vegan posts that showed up on r/all, but there’s a lot less total posts here, so much less competition for eyeballs.
IIRC Reddit lets individual subreddits opt out of appearing on r/all if they feel the exposure will do them more harm than good. I think Lemmy only has the option to defederate from specific instances, and that’s not the right tool here.
When someone posted a stupid hypothetical got-cha question, I pose my own: “Would you rather have hands for feet, or feet for hands?”. Sometimes they will forget their question entirely.

Love you some cancer, heart disease, increased erectile disfunction, and a slew of other fun health issues that come with eating meat.
