Fun fact: The actor in this scene is vegetarian, so they used mushrooms instead of steak for this scene

Maaan. That is me, with so many things. At least I’m moving in the right direction, or so I like to tell me.

So what you’re saying is that - in principle - if we took brain cells from say a 90s kid and then infused them with the genetic material of a fully grown adult Vegan, we could cultivate a batch of neurons that not only have perfect memory, but also are never wrong and thus create the perfect thinking machine artificially created intelligence? Of course it’s not like that’s something I would be able to do by myself in my home. Biological computer chips? That’s not real technology don’t look it up its just uhhh ideas for some SciFi shit. But like, you know. In principle. Just hypothetically hypothesizing and all that…

I just like annoying vegans. They call me the most metal slurs like “carnist” and “bloodmouth”.

No its not fine to oppress others even if you know you are wrong to. You sound like a founding father who writes that slavery is wrong but brutally exploits slaves anyway.

I think if you want to be vegan, go for it. Doesn’t work for me. And I’m all good with hunting.

Everyone I know actually unironically feels this way lol and always comes to me for advice on going more vegan. Vegan hatred is a strong flea dip for me though, basically any% criticism of vegans ensures I will likely never speak to you again.

If you are eating boring meat like chicken breast or ground beef you might as well make it vegan or get some fat on it

Non-vegans should support vegans, even if they continue to eat meat, because vegans drive better treatment of animals and also drive more attractive non-animal food options. However, a person must have a brain and also not have meat eating tied to their masculinity.

@KuroiKaze@lemmy.world 2026-11-04 02:59
I don’t argue about whether or not people should be vegan. I just know that my quality of life would be vastly diminished as I really don’t enjoy most vegan food. If they can nail lab created meat, I’m all for it.

This is a super hot take so bare with me, but the conditions of a lot of vegan food production are also often harmful to the humans that grow the food (I’m talking blood produce) and the growth in popularity of certain superfoods have severely damaged the ecosystems that indigenous populations in the areas where they’re from depended on. This is not to say being vegan is bad. It’s obviously proven to be better for the environment, and the way that animals are treated is absolutely inhumane. This is to say however that we should be demanding sustainability in all our food consumption and respect for all living beings. But mostly, it’s to say fuck capitalism.

Theyre not? We are apes,apes like of veggies and meat. Plus, we are one of the most carnivore of the big apes,our guts are adapted to both meat and vegetables, we are not able to decompose celulose.

Plants are alive too. Vegans are just plant racists.

Obligatory mention that you don’t need to cut out meat from your life entirely to have a significant impact on your carbon footprint and your health. Going mostly vegetarian is also an option and its basically been the default of humanity since the agricultural revolution.

I’ve had this exact mentality until one day I just stopped eating meat, and generally nothing bad happened to me. It’s not like I miss it, I didn’t lose anything, there’s no sacrifice in my daily life. I just no longer participate in the direct consumption of the product of (still existing and still supported by my work via taxes) the terrible pipeline of infinite suffering, which is something I guess. In the past I’ve also quit smoking and I can tell you dropping animal products from my diet was much easier. So much, it felt underwhelming. I don’t tend to talk about it, because I know how my “whining” about meat eating would be perceived, especially remembering how I myself loathed anyone who tried to convince me that eating meat might be bad. It’s just such a silly thing to defend and keep doing. Just gobble up those beans, man. They’re delicious. Leave the cow alone. Organize to overthrow the capital class. Marinate your tofu. Don’t be silly. Kill fascists, not the piggies. Come on.

Just eat less meat. You don’t have to go 0-100. Skip the patty, skip the filet. Double up on proteins. Dairy shouldn’t be an end goal but substitute the actual meat for dairy for at least some reduction. Pick the food that is vegan instead of the one using meat stock, etc. Little things here and there. Default to meatless, eat the damn meat if you absolutely have to. Increase this change over time, and make sure to add a vegan B12 supplement. 80% is better than 100%. 60% is better than 80% when you get there. Maybe someday you hit 0%.

In the era of awesome spices and sauces and wide ranging produce available year round there is very little reason to eat meat. But also yummy & convenient

Tldr: my jagged journey to being a shitty vegan started with admitting it was ethically superior and then just trying things for fun/challenge. That was my attitude basically ever since I seriously thought about the ethics for maybe 10 whole minutes. I mean it’s obvious. But it didn’t impact anything I did until I lived on my own for a while. Then I started by cutting out the obviously reprehensible options like restaurants that support factory farming, cheap machine produced stuff, etc. I’d still eat trash from time to time, but I tried to shop for more ethical sounding options, like free to roam stuff. Many years later I slowly started cooking vegetarian meals more than anything else, and would joke with my wife "look: totally vegan… Except for all the cheese lol. " 100% vegan meals then became a personal challenge then, so tried to make them good without cheese. Nothing bad happened. I always said I could never be vegan because of cheese, but then I thought what if I JUST quit cheese and dairy (just obvious sources, but not like if it’s in a piece of toast and I can’t tell). Again nothing bad happened. Actually my vegetarian friends were really supportive and showed me lots of vegan dishes. I still had eggs every day for breakfast and the occasional fish, like sardines or tuna sandwiches. I didn’t know how I could ever quit my morning eggs, and had even tried a couple times. Then I saw a vegan thread on lemmy here and just asked someone what they ate for breakfast and they gave me a few ideas and I decided to try yet another tofu scramble and that just did it. I did feel sluggish for a day or two, and maybe a little bit “off” for a week but not even as bad as a cold. I just stuck with it and ate a bit more to make up for any loss, through in a daily vitamin, and that was just it. And yup, nothing bad happened. The whole time I guess it was just a couple sluggish days away from me. I said maybe I’d eat meat or dairy just to be easy from time to time, but then Thanksgiving came and went and I really didn’t feel like it. I just brought a lentil patties and ate some sides until I wasn’t hungry anymore. Easy peasy. But I’m just at the outset. I don’t very everything, I just don’t partake in anything that is made with animal products as far as I can tell, and as much as I easily can.

Yeah the vegans are definitely right. Munches on my cheese

I don’t think they’re correct, but also why care? If anything they’re helping the environment and living the life they want to live. Good for them and more power to them.

@Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2026-11-04 18:40
I won’t argue for most of the animal-based market but I reject the idea that eggs are inherently unethical. Some of the ways they are produced certainly are (the vast majority even, I assume), but chickens just lay eggs in their day to day life and I don’t think anything is wrong with eating them, though I do acknowledge that finding ethical options is probably more complex than just paying a bit extra for the free range cartons. I should find a local producer again, then they are usually both cheaper and not factory farmed.

I forgot who I stole it from, but veganism is my favorite example of a position that has nearly unassailable reasoning, but is still utterly unconvincing to most people.

Do I even get a choice in the matter? I hat this town. J tried to escape with tofu, cant even sneakily become vegan.

As someone who gets hard af headaches and migraine from processed and older foods, I’d say they are wrong. at least for me. No way I eat vegan when there are only 3 types of legumes that don’t give me a headache

Vegans don’t want you to not have fun in life. We want you to live your life and let others live theirs, too.

@HalfSalesman@lemmy.world 2026-11-05 15:56
Vegans are not correct. Vegetarians? Arguably yes. Not vegans. If the cow I’m drinking milk from is living a decent happy life its not immoral for me to drink it. I’m not even a vegetarian though, so I will say that the spirit of this tweet at least makes sense to me. I get it.
