A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Why are vegans obsessed with making cheap knockoff versions of nonvegan food? Cant they make their own foods?

[–] ElcaineVolta@kbin.social 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

most food is "vegan food". have you ever had a potato?

[–] clayh@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

why are carnists obsessed with stuffing intestinal linings with churned up flesh to make their food shaped like zucchini?

It would be weird if we called it carnivore zucchini. We don’t.

You’re welcome to call veggie burgers their own thing. They don’t need to be veggie burgers. Or vegan bacon. You can just call it “processed vegetable paste planks” or whatever gets your rocks off, honey. You don’t get to criticize us for our choice of food and also work as hard as you can to mimic that food, no matter how self-righteous you feel.

how do you know someone eats animal flesh and excretions? don't worry, they'll tell you.

Just gonna insult me then?

Kk sweeite. Great look. Such class.

Is it because you don’t know the answer to my question or because saying the answer out loud makes you feel ashamed?

ha! love it. I'm just messing with you, it's clear you haven't really thought any of this through; culture changes and I get that it can feel scary that you're being left behind.

I’m not vegan, but I smell that burn like a barbecue is nearby.

Cause that way you can eat mac and cheese with hot dogs drowned in mayo without killing animals.
Most vegans don't do it for the health benefits, that's just an excuse to tell others.
