cantstopthesignalI'm too high for this
Get enough of this type of content and it will turn you vegan.
It will *get you a Michelin star ftfy
Getting hungry for meat probably is going to have the opposite effect.
I don't get it. It looks like somebody's put overly emotive text on an image of somebody preparing food in a very fancy manner?
I really doubt that
(x) doubt
This type of content? You mean food preparation? What part of this is supposed to disgust me or make me want to stop eating meat?
Yeah, it makes me hungry
southsamuraiNah, veganism is a religion. You don’t get into a religion because of pictures of meat.
Now, pictures like this may turn someone’s stomach and make them stop wanting to eat meat, though I have no idea how damn wimpy someone would have to be for this picture to bother them, but a piece of meat in front of them wouldn’t.
Hell, I’ve been wrist deep inside of wounds and it didn’t turn me vegan. I’ve cleaned up road kill and it didn’t turn me vegan.
This is just some clean meat decorated. It’s no different than stuffing a turkey, or butterflying a chicken breast, or doing a stuffed roast, or a braciole.
Seriously, I’m being a dick here, but you have to be a giant fucking wimp to see this picture and be so grossed out that you stop eating meat. Like, any motherfucker that can’t handle this picture would fucking die if they ever had to actually kill their own food. And that’s such a massively wimpy thing, I can’t think of a word for how utterly fucking lame that is. Like, motherfuckers, what the fuck would you do if you got injured and saw your own muscles? Pass the fuck out and die, that’s what would happen.
Are people really that disconnected from reality? That the sight of some clean meat is some kind of horror? Jesus fucking Christ on a pogo stick, how sheltered does someone have to be for that? I mean, offense intended, but anyone that grossed out by this picture needs to grow the fuck up and get some life experience.
Big ol eye roll.
Eating rotisserie chicken is what made me fully realize we were just chowing down on animal carcass. It’s fucking delicious, and I eat rotisserie chicken all the time.
Yeah, I’ve eaten it, there’s an aspect to it you may not have dialed into yet. Hard to describe.
Dennis Leary described it perfectly. “Meat tastes like murder, and murder tastes pretty goddamn good.”
Lol don’t worry, I get it. I used to hate it as a kid because the bones grossed me out but when I matured and realized it’s natural for animals to eat other animals, it became much more appetizing to me. I guess the advantage of being on omnivore is you can choose to abstain from that, but I like eating animals.
That’s a lot of words
Have you watched dominion
🐑🇸 🇭 🇪 🇪 🇵 🇱 🇪🐑Yes. It didn’t change my opinion
Cool. It’s good to be aware of the unlimited suffering we cause.
Agree overall, but I still downvoted because of the statement “veganism is a religion”.
You either don’t know what veganism is or what religion is.
As a meat eater, I applaud anyone that follows or wants to move towards a (more) vegan diet.
Is it not though? Vegans act like it’s their religion, it fulfills similar social needs, they behave in the same wau as religious zealots. They exhibit the same assumption that their belief is the one true belief, and anyone that does not come to their belief is flawed.
Seems pretty similar to me
That’s a small but loud minority.
I don’t see any other vegans calling them down for it
☭ Comrade Pup Ivy 🇨🇺I see no reason why they would be obligated to do so, also not a vegan, but still.
You’re gettin downvoted, but you’re right. It’s the metric we’re coming to use for any group. It’s “okay” if your group has some fringe members that need to be distanced from. It becomes “not okay” when the majority silently accepts the horrible behavior of them.
Similarly, very few cops take abusive actions against minorities, but the number of cops who will defend that behavior in the name of “police brotherhood” closes in at 100%.
People who are downvoting you are out-of-touch with the fact that they are “the good cop who does nothing” in their own group.
What the fuck dude, you’re comparing preachy vegans with actual police brutality. Kindly get the fuck out and think about what you said thank you
What the fuck dude, you’re comparing preachy vegans with actual police brutality
No, I’m comparing people who cover for assholes with people who cover for assholes.
Kindly get the fuck out and think about what you said thank you
There’s a block button if you want to use it. And a report button if you think I broke any rules. I, for one, just hit the latter.
Because it’s not a community. It’s millions of random people that have nothing to do with each other and thus don’t see the loud minority or feel the need to correct them.
Of course you can create small group out of them, like the vegans of twitters, but they do not represent the many 60 yo Asians that just don’t eat meat.
It’s millions of random people that have nothing to do with each other and thus don’t see the loud minority or feel the need to correct them
So vegans are “special”? Can you think of other examples where there’s no such responsibility? I’m white; we’re not a community, but I would still be complacent if I didn’t stand against white supremacists. And in terms of randomness and community size, there’s more white people than vegans.
they do not represent the many 60 yo Asians that just don’t eat meat.
“Just don’t eat meat” isn’t veganism. Veganism is “just WON’T eat meat… and just WON’T eat other animal products”.
More importantly, look at the context. All he did was point out that vegans NEVER call down militant veganism. If he’s wrong, and I’m wrong, stop saying “there’s no responsibility” and show me just a few sites by “Western hip vegans who tweet” or whatever the hell subset of veganism we’re going to run with, where they are calling out militant vegans on their bullshit. I’ll wait, but I won’t hold my breath.
That was a quick comparison with white supremacy, veganism isn’t nearly as important as that.
Vegans are not special. It’s like if I had the same nationality as someone, do you really need to call out someone from the US that shit on European (assuming you are from the US) ? Maybe, maybe not, some do, some don’t. Same for veganism.
I assumed he meant vegan aren’t calling out extremists enough, obviously there are vegans calling out other vegans if that’s what you want. I searched “militant are bad for veganism” and found this article www.refinery29.com/…/vegan-extremist-language that list a few vegans that are against militant.
(I did not check further on theses accounts btw, if they changed their mind since that doesn’t mean there are no better example).
And I never wanted to say most vegans agree with extremists. Theses assholes are ruining veganism image. Without them people would hear vegan and think about nature, saving animals, saving the evironnement. But right now they only think about 30 years old Karen screaming at them for no reason calling people murderer and so on.
That was a quick comparison with white supremacy
I’m not Godwinizing this. The analogy is apt. Not because Veganism is as bad as the White Supremacy movement, but because militant veganism is culturally near-identical with regards to levels of organization, cohesion, and belittling and exclusion of the opposing majority.
Vegans are not special. It’s like if I had the same nationality as someone, do you really need to call out someone from the US that shit on European (assuming you are from the US) ?
No, vegans aren’t special. Thank you. And yes, I consider it my responsibility to call out the American anti-Mexican rhetoric that’s been rekindled because if I don’t, I am complicit. I am struggling not to tangent into at least 20 other incidents between old racial slurs and attacks insults about homosexuality where I’ve had to stand up against “my class”, but the moment I hadn’t done so, then I’m as bad as them.
this article that list a few vegans that are against militant
Unfortunately, this article supports my point in a way I don’t know you intended. This is an article discussing how militant vegans (including the creators of Dominion) are against the tactic of insulting non-vegans directly in their goal of getting everyone to stop eating meat. Further, this clearly rebuts your earlier claim that militant veganism isn’t “a community”.
Remember, if you’re activists against someone’s behavior, you’re attacking that behavior. You need to be damn sure the behavior you’re attacking is objectively wrong. Good-cop Bad-copping it doesn’t change that.
And I never wanted to say most vegans agree with extremists. Theses assholes are ruining veganism image
Then, do the world a favor, and call them out. It probably doesn’t get vegan across the line of reasonableness (stopping pushing for others to be vegan is where that happens) but it gives you a bit more of an ethical foundation.
Without them people would hear vegan and think about nature, saving animals, saving the evironnement
I hate that most vegans I meet won’t agree with me on animal protections in farms because my goals still involve people eating them. I consider my home state’s new free range chicken law a massive win, but most vegans consider it “just another step in normalizing humans eating animals”. You’ve heard the statement “making perfect the enemy of good”, right? Well, there’s a step worse, which is making “my personal preference the enemy of perfect”.
Let me make this clear. We exist in a world where we can scaleably give farm animals a better quality of life than they’d get in the wild with a better environmental impact than not eating them, but it requires regulations that vegans are often unwilling to openly support because it’s not what they want.
But right now they only think about 30 years old Karen screaming at them for no reason calling people murderer and so on.
Agreed. Memes become that because they’re often true. “How do you know someone is a vegan?” EVERYONE has experienced that particular little joke dozens of times if not more. I used to have a coworker who aggressively preached veganism at me, as he gained a ton of weight and his health degraded. This is not me saying that vegans can’t be healthy, but he was definitely doing veganism a disservice.
This is just zealots like any belief. It is not all vegans. I have been vegetairian for 30 years amd vegan for about 3, other than responding to you I never “promote” my life choice to anyone or try to convert anyone. It only comes up if a coworker say he lets grab dinner and I order a tofu curry while they have a steak. I even worked at a place for over 5 years before finding out a fellow employee was vegan. It just never comes up.
My cousin is like that. I enjoy trolling online vegans because they tend to be the zealots, but I don’t actually have anything against the “ism” itself. Different strokes, and all that.
My cousin gets a big old pot of vegan chili when he’s in town because he likes it, and I like making it for him. We poke fun at each other over bowls of the stuff.
possibly a catNah, veganism is a religion.
lmao
I was part of the vegan cult for years until I read this comment, thank you for saving me.
I was a wimp. I didn’t enjoy the idea of harming and killing animals, I had watched videos of animals being gutted alive and having their throats cut and squirming for literal minutes afterwards. This was uncomfortable, but only because I was a wimp.
After reading your comment I manned up and took my dog and 2 cats, strung them up while they were whimpering (which was hilarious), and slit their throats, cooked their delicious innards, and am finally able to walk again (I was only able to crawl because I had been nutrient deficient for so long despite what my libtard doctors told me).
I’m happy to live in a free country where I can do whatever I want with my property. In China I bet you can’t cook a dog because the government is just a bunch of moralizing leftists. God gave us domain over animals, and so I get to choose what I want to do with the animals I purchase.
Lmao! Dude, that’s the single best response in the entire thread! Counter-trolling ftmfw! I can’t even come back at that one, I’m laughing too hard. No bullshit, thank you for that :)
You had me until “veganism is a religion”
Lmao! I see what you did there
That’s an ordinary braid.
I could explain how you’d French braid meat but I don’t think anybody here wants that.
𝘋𝘪𝘳𝘬I don’t think anybody here wants that.
Talk for yourself!
Where is the French braiding meat OC?
I too would like to see French braided flesh
So when you do a French braid in hair, you start off with three small sections. Every time you fold over the outer sections, you incorporate more hair into those sections. This differs from a normal braid, which doesn’t increase the size of the three parts of the braid as you go along.
French braiding flesh would require a lot more flesh. Also it wouldn’t look nearly as tidy because the other ends of the flesh (those not in the braid) are not attached to anything (i.e. a scalp) so it would be a loose tangled mess.
There’s easier ways to make something grotesque and cursed.
No I want to see it even more!
DeceptichumYou use beef tongue.
agentshagsThat’s for French kissing
Shit, now I’m thinking about it and you’d need something big like a flank steak or a brisket. I don’t think a pork-loin would work since it’s not broad enough. You’d still need to probably butterfly it, and then fringe the edge so you had strands to work into the braid. Best I can think of would be more like braided filled pastry than anything else. Not a terrible sway to do a stuffed roast or roulade I guess.
PeppycitoI prefer to sprang my meat.
I don’t get it. Braiding live animals would be worse, right?
Might taste better when roasted even
R0cket_M00se*slowly puts down garter snakes"
“Go on…”
See I don’t like people who impose vegetarianism and veganism but I really wish people would have more respect for dead animals.
I hate the mental disconnect many seem to have because they just buy meat in a supermarket
Disgusting behaviour from some people
Where is the disrespect for the dead animal? I don't get it. It just looks like somebody's put overly emotive text on an image of somebody preparing food in a very fancy manner?
In a way this is even more respectful as it presents the meat in a unique and special way.
Personally I think the more effort is out into food, on the condition it’s being eaten, the more respect you’re giving to the animal.
UrPartnerInCrimeYeah that’s what I was thinking. Granted I also want to go the same way Diogenes wanted to
When asked how he wished to be buried, he left instructions to be thrown outside the city wall so wild animals could feast on his body
Honestly that’s based as fuck. Granted there’s the concern of spreading disease but it’s how I’d prefer it too
Look up Tibetan sky burials. They just stick your corpse on a mountain and the vultures feast away.
I don’t like people who impose vegetarianism and veganism
You should though
RickyRigatoniIt’s hilarious how lemmy users generally think of themselves as left wing but refuse to admit that veganism is both morally and sustainably the better option
See, there’s that religion creeping in again.
Morals, that’s religion right there, and when a religion starts from the default of assuming it’s the only right answer, it’s a shit religion, no matter what other arguments are involved.
