Maybe if they keep using digital computers. What they need is an analogue system. It’s much more efficient for this kind of work.

Okay, but you have to know about plant-based steaks and vegan butter. And of course you know about vegan garlic and vegan potato, because all garlic and potato is vegan. What’s the extra cost of a vegan steak compared to an animal steak in your area? In mine it’s around 3 dollars.

Ah, so you’re saying you don’t like it, but you find it an acceptable sacrifice to make in exchange for yummy food?

Oh great, another annoying vegan here to tell me that killing animals for food is wrong

It sounds like you aren’t very assured of the validity of your sources in backing up your claims. If you don’t believe in your own sources, why are you so confident in your opinions?

I have a live and let live attitude to veganism vs carnism. No living being should be forced to be a vegan, no living being should be forced to be a carnist, and no living being should be forced to be a hamburger. Can’t we just end all the aggression and live peacefully?

Cat food is food specifically formulated and designed for consumption by cats. As obligate carnivores, cats have specific requirements for their dietary nutrients, namely nutrients found only in meat or synthesised, such as taurine and Vitamin A.

Hey look, your Wikipedia link says the nutrients cats need from meat can be synthesised in literally the second sentence.

Vegetarian or vegan cat food has been available for many years, and is targeted primarily at vegan and vegetarian pet owners. While a small percentage of owners choose such a diet based on its perceived health benefits, the majority do so due to ethical concerns, such as about the large environmental impacts of animal agriculture.

The outrageous vegans make the more moderate ones look reasonable to carnists, which increases the rate of adopting veganism.

Those aren’t scientific studies. The vegans have scientific studies. You expect me to believe you know better than them, but you can’t show me sources of equal quality?

I’m curious. You eat meat, but you’re not in favour of massacres. Alright, explain it to me.

Show me a scientific study that proves this. If you can say it with confidence, it should be no trouble at all for you to prove it. I, on the other hand, am lazy and don’t care all that much, so I want the people confidently stating opinions to share their research to save me effort.

Yeah, it’s ridiculous to feed a dog vegetables. My dog gets a diet of pure meat. I drive around my city with a net gun and capture outdoor cats, and then butcher them for Fido. It’s a win-win-win. Win: Fido gets meat. Win: I don’t contribute to factory farming cruelty. Win: the native birds aren’t driven extinct by predation. This is the only ethical way to feed a dog, since this way every living creature that ends up in Fido’s hungry jaws lived a rich and fulfilling life.

We could also just have countries without controlled borders. Border control and citizenship are very new concepts. And they suck.

There should be zero illegal immigration into the USA.

Because immigration should never be a crime.

What’s the point when the entire word is originated in misogyny?

Actually, the gen z youth tend to view the word “lesbian” as liberal. The only reason you wouldn’t just say gay woman is if you think female homosexuality is different to enby and male homosexuality, which is a right wing myth. Older gay women accept the regressive terms but the youth these days are leaving them behind. In 20 years, the word will be viewed the same as words like “transvestite” and “homo”. It’ll be old people slang.

Because technology 🅱️roke

You’re really good at writing compelling fiction.

All browsing was a thing on Reddit too. So I think it’d be fair to say it’s a style of usage some people just prefer or reach for (whether that applies to you)

Sure, for other people, but not me. I never casually browsed r/all. I visited it a couple times, and it was always nonsense I didn’t care about. The average Lemmy user is more similar to me than the average Reddit user, so all is usable. Although the average Lemmy user is still a fair bit less similar to me than the average Reddit user of the communities I was subscribed to, so if subscriptions were viable I’d use them on Lemmy too.

Unless one uses “New” or “scaled” sorting, surely it’s the big communities that dominate the All feed such that subscribing could easily achieve the same?

i guess so, but I often scroll long enough to run into the bot-posted reddit reposts with no upvotes, so I’m definitely interested in seeing all the content on Lemmy. Of a more relevant nature is that I don’t see posts to remote communities unless a fellow lemmy.ca user is subscribed to them. I ought to subscribe to more remote communities.

Wouldn’t there be a trade off with interest or relevance being less in the All feed?

Sure is, I have no desire to click on about half the posts I see, although that number trends upwards quick when I start scraping the bottom of the barrel. But again, I’m scraping the bottom of the barrel, so it’s not like I’m missing any interesting posts.
