I just feed my cats the same beans I keep the children locked in the basement. They both survive just fine with the right supplements.

Don’t even joke about that. Cats are obligate carnivores, they can’t survive on beans. If you must, let them eat the children.
socsa@piefed.social 8 months ago
Unfortunately I need the children to satisfy the hag witch.
Piemanding@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
My chickens never eat beans. I don’t think they like them.

meanwhile in the dog food discussions:
- My dog likes bell pepers
- My dog only eats raw racoon meet
- my dog eats poop
Dogs, the easiest species to feed

Dogs are nature’s vacuum cleaners confirmed

Dog: Man’s overlooked weight-loss aid.
Dog: “You gonna finish that?”
Me: “No.”
Dog: Munching noises.

Dogs have been selectively bred to better handle foods humans eat barring some notable exceptions. Dogs significantly better grain digesting enzyme production than wild candids for example.

Dogs, the easiest species to feed That would be pigs but some dogs are actually quite close to that.
MissJinx@lemmy.world 8 months ago
oh that’s true, they even eat human bones… I heard

My dog knows the command “help”, which means “oh no I spilled some food on the floor come clean it up”

This could spectacularly backfire if you ever fall down and can’t get up.

I like dogs ^_^

How do you cook them?
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I keep seeing that “people are talking about beans”, but I don’t actually see people TALKING about beans. I’m convinced that the joke is, that nobody actually talks about beans. Just talks about how other people are talking about beans…which they aren’t. That’s somehow the joke.
buttfarts@lemy.lol 8 months ago
hohoho… My friend you have fallen into the trap. By me responding to your comment about how nobody is actually discussing beans, we are now engaged in a discussion about beans!
Thus furthers the plot of packing bean related content into the algorithm
Enkers@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
This is a meta-discussion about beans though. We’re not talking about beans, we’re talking about talking about beans.
ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
nobody talks about beans
You need a better friend group. Your network is your net worth
socsa@piefed.social 8 months ago
Everyone keep saying "what is beans?"
Nobody saying "how is beans?"
nomous@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Because we all know beans are great.
pseudo@jlai.lu 8 months ago
I talk about bean. I love to eat bean, I love to cook it. They are healthy, every inexpensive. If buy can, you can cook very easily but you can do many complicated dish with it. It delicious with meat and without meat and that is the common ground on any cooking community on Lemmy, being vegan or not.
pseudo@jlai.lu 8 months ago
Also, I have to keep Lemmings focussing on bean because I notice that when note they tend to hate on tea and I won’t let this happened.

I want in on these cat food arguments

You really don’t

I dunno, I kinda like watching the chaos
For now
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 8 months ago
YES I DO!
socsa@piefed.social 8 months ago
Nah it's fun because of how stupid it is.
gencha@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Easy. Come up with some insane pet feeding scenario, and then assume you saw someone on YouTube vouch for it. Enter discourse. Ensure to present your theory by first saying “I don’t know what a cat actually is, but…”. Then slowly slide your audience into your scenario about how people in Florida have kept alligators alive by feeding them rotten boat parts with just the right algae and moss on it.
socsa@piefed.social 8 months ago
Studies say that cats can survive just fine if you paralyze them and they inject them with nutrients fluid. Super convenient tbh.
TheBat@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Ok let me set the ball rolling: Do you think cats should be fed vegan only diet?
empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
bdonvr@thelemmy.club 8 months ago
I’m not a vegan but I do wonder if given the correct supplements would it really be so bad?
Sneptaur@pawb.social 8 months ago
Lmao is that what the argument is about? My cat eats organic ethically sourced fish because I’m bougie like that
PlasticExistence@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Can I feed my cat an all-bean diet?
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Sure, if you can overlook how cruelly beans are raised, etc…
PlasticExistence@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Won’t anyone do something about the plight of the beans!?
desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 months ago
if it’s good enough for humans it’s probably good enough for cats
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Narrator: as illustrated in Blazing Saddles, it was not good enough for humans
apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 8 months ago
My cat loves beans. (As a snack, not a meal). Do not consider this a salvo into that Lemmy civil war. My can just loves beans and I love him.
Veneroso@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I had a cat that would chase me around the house if I was eating a banana. Wildest thing. They can’t taste sweet as far as I understand it. Never had a cat since that did. I miss that cat.
JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
The REAL question is how much beans can I feed to a cat, and why does my house smell really bad?
superkret@feddit.org 8 months ago
I use Arch by the way.
T00l_shed@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Oh yeah? Well I compiled my own kernel from scratch! for legal reasons this is a joke.
frezik@midwest.social 8 months ago
My opinion has actually shifted as a matter of this debate. It used to be “hell no”. Now it’s “no, but maybe we can in the future if the science is done”. It’s pretty clear that there isn’t much research on this, and the few peer reviewed articles on the subject tend to mention exactly how little has been done. What is there suggests that maybe, possibly, with the right diet and supplements, it could be done in the future.
Don’t make your cat an experiment on this.

Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
I got banned from a pet food sub on reddit for what I thought was a completely innocent question. It’s a touchy subject everywhere apparently. The rumor is that pet food companies are major lurkers on pet subs and use reddit etc as an ad platform.

TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 8 months ago
From now on, we at /c/vegan will promote a strictly banana-based diet in humans. Fruitarians will be tolerated, but only to the extent that they take steps toward removing other fruits from their diet. /s
NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Make sure you feed your cats bananas as well.
