Oh so we're already doing boomer memes huh

[–] alamani@lemmy.fmhy.ml 15 points 2 years ago

I've seen so many boomer memes on lemmy, it's surreal

[–] CorruptBuddha@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

God I hope you're 13 if you're throwing 'boomer' around 😂

Oh good, more Facebook memes.

[–] TheGoldenGod@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Where did you think most cat memes came from?

Meat eaters all have the same 3 jokes and they're all retarded. Embrace the possibility of not having a permanently soft dick and start eating plants.

[–] 0x4E4F@lemmy.fmhy.ml 23 points 2 years ago (2 children)

But... we do eat plants...

[–] BassaForte@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Hell yeah, salad is a great side dish for steak.

[–] KnowledgeableNip@reddthat.com 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yup, that's one of the three jokes, you got it bud

[–] BassaForte@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's literally not a joke though, but I mean feel free to keep getting offended that people enjoy meat.

[–] swan@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fr what’s with all the vegan pushing on this website lol. It’s like trying to push your religion on someone, Just let them live their life and focus on yourself

[–] BassaForte@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Well said, 100%

[–] 0x4E4F@lemmy.fmhy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Exactly 👍.

[–] alcamtar@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We just use animals to pre-process our plants

[–] 0x4E4F@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Good one 🤣.

[–] DrZaious@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm enlightened, I eat both meat and plants.

[–] CorruptBuddha@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago

Can this power be taught?

[–] Robbsen1@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 years ago

So brave 👏

[–] CorruptBuddha@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago

Keto jacked my libido thank you very much! I could probably murder an elk with my dick.

I exclusively eat meat and I suffer from priapism. So ha! 😤

[–] Gorvin@lemm.ee 17 points 2 years ago (4 children)

If we're not supposed to eat animals, then why are they made out of food?

  • Cannibals, probably

Hey its not my fault that neck veins taste good.

[–] norawibb@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago

hahahahaha so funny funny joke new joke guys

[–] spicysoup@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

what's it like being an actual bumper sticker from a gas station?

[–] TheGoldenGod@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

To tempt us?

[–] MyDearWatson616@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

The cat doesn't speak.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I had a plant based chicken nuggets alternative that tasted perfect; but had the texture of wadded up paper. 🤢

[–] 0x4E4F@lemmy.fmhy.ml 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

See this is what I don't get about vegans or vegeterians. They buy these products that all resemble meat products in one way or another, but then complain if you eat meat 🤔. Apparently, they like to eat meat as well, they just wanna be posh about it.

[–] KnowledgeableNip@reddthat.com 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The plant-based product is more environmentally friendly and doesn't kill an animal.

I don't know how that's hard to grasp, good luck out there friend.

[–] alcamtar@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The animal wouldn't be alive in the first place if we weren't intending to eat it

[–] KnowledgeableNip@reddthat.com 6 points 2 years ago

That's sort of the point.

Instead of water, land and resource use growing corn and soybeans and supplements to raise a calf to slaughter weight, just eat the vegetables.

One of the most environmentally friendly things you can do.

Hard to grasp as in, you're against animal cruelty, but still, you'd like to eat products that resemble meat... that's like me giving up sex with real people, but I decide just to use fuck dolls... am I really not having sex? Have you seen how lifelike some of these dolls can be?

[–] CorruptBuddha@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hard to grasp as in, you're against animal cruelty, but still, you'd like to eat products that resemble meat.

This seems pretty simple to me, plant based alternatives looking like meat doesn't make them equitable to animal cruelty.

[–] 0x4E4F@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

It's the pretend part that's confusing to me. Why actually eat something shaped and tasting like what carnivores eat. Why does it have to resemble meat products? You obviously don't like hurting animals, why pretend that an animal died to serve you this meal.

A vegan earlier explained it to me that these are mostly things that vegans would eat at carnivore social events, like barbecues, in which case, yes, it does make sense.

[–] CorruptBuddha@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Do you not get cravings for food?

Eating is enjoyable, and to eat different foods is a different experience. Different smells, tastes, textures. Some people enjoy the experience of eating meat, they enjoy the taste, the texture. When they quit eating meat for ethical issues they still remember that they enjoyed meat.

So if you enjoy eating meat and only stopped due to the ethical issues, why wouldn't you create a substitute?

It's like a lesbian! Just because you aren't attracted to a man, or don't want to be with one, doesn't mean you can't enjoy a dildo.

[–] TheGoldenGod@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Did you get them from Trader Joe’s or Sprouts? If so, I know which ones you’re talking about.

[–] Rachelhazideas@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

What's with all the memes shitting on vegetarianism? I'm a meat eater, but I feel like Lemmy has just been swarmed with edgy 14 year old redditors who thrive on jokes about 'vegetarianism bad meat good'.

[–] Tavarin@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

There's also a ton of memes on Lemmy shitting on eating meat. This seems to be a response to that.

[–] captainkaladin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I think it's just a "what goes around " thing

People don't really have problems with vegetarians.. they tend to be regular people, not trying to stir shit up.. The nut jobs are vegans..

[–] OberonSwanson@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

I like how an old ass meme turned into people saying the OP’s posting meat propaganda. It was posted during a cat meme phase here and now people come out turning a molehill into a mountain. Hate it for the fact it has the Real Housewives not because you think it’s imaginary propaganda ffs lol.

[–] BonfireOvDreams@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Carnist and carnist apologists should just go back to reddit.

They don't apply concepts like consent or bodily autonomy to conscious beings of their own will. In addition, they do far more damage to the planet and it's inhabitants including humans.

If you want to learn about Veganism or have a good faith discussion about the moral baseline, stick around but otherwise just gtfo.

[–] OberonSwanson@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago

It’s an old wordplay meme. It’s not meat propaganda. Breathe it’s gonna be okay.
