A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
I would be vegan if all the food i like wouldn't have an animal product in it, also i don't really feel enough empathy toward animals so i don't have that emotional push :(
I hate that the industry of meat do bad things and polute but also i don't want to stop eating 80% of the things i like, i try to eat meat bought from local stores, also, cheer to all vegans that did the "transition"
Honestly that seems pretty thoughtful of them. Most people I know would give zero shits and just post all that on a chat with vegans and vegetarians. Some of them going out of their way to post them on that chat specifically.
Just got one going on now.
An extended family group chat that was 99% baby photos until one person posted photos of their kids at a protest this weekend and then the chuddy trad-wife sov-cits in the family threw a fit.
They all left the chat and said they'll only be reachable on Facebook.
Oh darn. All the shucks.
Now that is what i call an efficient way to filter out the trash from your group chat.
Seems considerate? "We didn't want to annoy you with photos of something you despise so we created a separate channel to do just that but nothing else."
I would not be surprised if my old coworker-friends started a separate group chat without me after the nth, "Maybe you should come to one of these protests" and "Please at least read the wikipedia summary on this historical topic before you start going off about it" message from me.
They're fine people but they're also kind of very... apolitical.
Incidents in my groupchats usually end up with somebody arrested tbh...
You can't just say that and drop the mic! Tell us what happened!
Ahhh the WhatsApp Paradox
For every chat group you're in, there is a separate group that exists without you in it
That's not a paradox, that's the group chat power set theorem
Holly seeing the comments on this post is crazy and some people would do good to touch some grass.
I was hoping to read a collection of people's group chat incidents. This sucks.
I came here for people's group chat incidents
What I actually got is a flame war against vegans and a flame war against non vegans and they both hate vegetarians
Please reply with your group chat incidents
Vegans hate vegetarians? But they are vegetarians.
Disclosure: Am Vegan. Don't hate vegetarians.
I think it's because many Vegans perceive Vegetarians as going half the way and then stopping dead.
From a vegan perspective meat eaters are doing something morally wrong. But many have grown up that way and are conditioned into normalizing meat consumption. Many haven't questioned it ever, or reflexively defend it, because it is perceived as normal.
Vegetarians on the other hand seem to understand the problem of animals suffering. Many of them made an ethical decision not to eat meat... and then continue to contribute to animal suffering by consuming other animal products. Understanding that murder is bad and then deciding to commit it just a bit less directly, is a position many Vegans take as deeply harmful.
Personally i am grateful for every single animal saved. Reducing meat or going vegetarian are steps in a direcion i see as good and positive. In my ideal world we would all be Vegans, but i am grateful for every little step in that direction.
Even just reducing our global meat consumption would make me so happy. Let it's insane to me that there is what amounts to my eyes as a wall of tortured flesh in every grocery store, and my tofus and veggie dogs take up like half of two shelves next to the fresh vegetables.
I can't wrap my head around eating meat every day, but there are people who eat meat at every meal.
i probably couldnt live Vegan, or even vegetarian. like i eat meat with almost every meal.
Why was this such an unpopular comment???
Because many of the readers here see it as an ethical issue.
Their comment wasn’t making judgements of others, it was just a statement of personal feelings. On a memes community no less.
I get frustrated on Lemmy seeing stuff like this. Downvoting a completely innocent comment cause they have a different belief only makes their beliefs look dumb.
Have a conversation and let that conversation rise to the top of the comments.
I see this and think whoever is downvoting has such a fragile world view that it will break if they see a comment that offers a different take.
Because many of the readers here see it as an ethical issue.
I just want to point out that the “pro lifers” and trans phobes also think their position is an “ethical” one, and all their decisions are driven by that. Doesn’t make them right just cause they think they’re doing the ethical thing.
Look I'm not a vegan, I was just trying to answer your question, but you're begging the question really hard.
In what way am I begging the question? I was using your answer as a basis for my comment.
I would love to know why that comment got so many downvotes. I can’t think of a good reason why.
Edit:
Btw, I recognize you were just giving a theory and not necessarily downvoting for that reason. But it seemed like the correct reason as well.
Real food has meat in it
Ding dong your opinion is wrong.
