This is the point I always make to people. Eating meat was a technological innovation that went obsolete 10,000 years ago with the invention of agriculture. It’s like insisting that we should go back to driving coal-fired steam-driven cars.
I would LOVE to drive a steam powered car. Been binge watching then on YouTube lately. Everything about it is amazing. Visually stunning. Mechanically sound. Easily fixable, unless the junk that made them obsolete…plastic, can’t fix shit without diagnostic software that won’t be released, over priced components, stupid displays in the console, manufacturer lies on performance.
Good analogy…I guess
This ‘argument’ always annoys me so much. It’s the epitome of just responding something, so they can perceive themselves to have won the argument, while they’re just completely (and deliberately) ignoring what you’re actually saying. They’re not discussing with you, because they want to understand, they’re rather doing it, because they feel socially threatened.
Where all the vegans at to downvote these bloodmouths in our community?
One of the issues with Lemmy is that it doesn’t have the critical size for smaller communities to not get overrun by c/all.
I typically reserve it for these “lol bacon” types that go into other peoples’ communities and walk around like they think any of us care what they have to say.
I’m happy to patiently explain anything to curious visitors, but I’ve got no patience for trolls.
The issue is this stuff shows up on /all so many folks don’t even look at the community they just blindly respond to the meme
When someone posted a stupid hypothetical got-cha question, I pose my own: “Would you rather have hands for feet, or feet for hands?”. Sometimes they will forget their question entirely.
