    Look at them stupid vegans, trying to not harm animals and our planet 😂

    Tap for spoiler

    /s I’m not vegan, but vegans are right, even if you find them annoying. The meat and & dairy industry is causing unimaginable suffering to millions of animals every day, while wasting the limited resources of our planet. The world would be a much better place if we consumed less or no animal products.

      I am convinced that vegans today will be like we look at abolitionists like Alexander Hamilton back during the 18th century. People will be horrified that we treated animals so abysmally for convenience, and some will say it was a normal and accepted practice, and people didn’t realize how horrible it was, and others will point to the vegans of today.

      Thoughts like those make me a little more understanding of people like George Washington. He recognized it was bad, tried to mitigate it, but still perpetuated the practice. Just like I switched to Impossible Beef and chicken, do my best to buy local family eggs, but buy cheese and milk and ice cream from big name companies like Tillamook and Ben & Jerry’s.

        Yes, I also think we will look back on meat eating in 50-100 years like we look back at slavery now

        Alexander Hamilton very deliberately and strategically married into a family of wealthy New York slave owners, then proceeded to cut deals with Virginia slave owners in order to enrich his northern friends through a publicly chartered bank that profited off of increased slave traffic and slave territory expansion.

        To call Alexander Hamilton an abolitionist is about as rational as calling Donald Trump a feminist.

      Vegans continue to exist, to eat delicious food, and to mention their diet to other people.

      And I find this unforgivable.

    We should do one for regular diets where it goes from ignorantly contributing to animal suffering to torturing them yourself and then diabetes and colon cancer.

      No no, that would hurt the feelings of the man-children that get triggered by vegans existing. They’re too sensitive, they can’t take it, it would be an act of cruelty towards animals that have no personal agency, which we all know is something vegans can’t condone.

        How dare some people make an obviously correct moral decision that highlights my own inadequacies?

        Seriously though, I’m not even slightly vegan. I’m just also not a total fucking moron.

      “I’m going to buy vegan ice cream” “We get it, you’re vegan”

      “I’m going to buy ice cream” “I thought you were vegan?”

        Yeah, that’s the level when you keep telling people “I’m really thinking about going vegan. I’m pretty sure I’m gonna do it”

    Yo, totally incorrect.

    Ever since HowtoBasic’s vegan recipes taught me how to cook good vegan meals, I’ve slowly been leveling up on this chart. My aim is to reach level 5 this year.

      HowToBasic videos that don’t feature eggs? That sounds weird.

    Veganism? Fantastic.

    Vegans? Mostly assholes.

    Downvote if you agree.

      When I was vegan, a lot of people seemed personally offended by my choices. I know there are preachy vegans, but if you really want to be preached at, you’ll get it by being vegan at any kind of food gathering.

      source
      • gofsckyourself@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        That’s also true for being vegetarian. It’s bonkers. But vegetarians don’t lecture other vegetarians like vegans do.

    And I bet at none of these levels is it wrong to kill mosquitos.

    • andros_rex@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      There’s an argument that it’s “vegan” to eat lionfish if one lives in say, Florida, because they’re an invasive species extremely disruptive to the environment. Killing them is a good thing and the fact that most things on US coasts won’t eat them is part of why we have the problem anyway.

      Even if you go full negative utilitarian to the point where you are concerned with wild animal suffering, killing lionfish is good.
