Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I can't decide if this comment is a vegan crying about being bamboozled into veganism or a vegan crying about others being bamboozled into hating veganism. Hoping it's the latter.
Every time industrialists come up with a new way to help people lie to themselves about the moral, medical, and environmental consequences of animal consumption, no matter how gossamer the cover, people eat it up. But when the scientific community provides evidence that people can completely avoid T2 diabetes, heart disease, many major forms of cancer, and apparently even Alzheimer's, it doesn't move the needle one pip. People would rather lie to themselves and will selectively choose what facts to emotionally and intellectually process and which to pretend they never even heard.
Glad it was indeed the latter. Don't need vegan bashing here.
