Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I always thought about meat, poultry, fish and eggs. And, again, always thought "what do strength champions eat?" Simple Google search show small amount of vegan champions, most of them stamina/speed champions, and some of those turned vegans after 20/30 years of omnivorous diet. And not taking into account their "supplements." Just thinking out loud.
Most people eat animal products.
Also, a good portion of vegans are “healthy hippy” types. Which rarely spills over to strength athletes.
But there are some vegan strength athletes, so it goes to show it’s possible.
Not sure what you mean by this tbh.
Seems like a very forceful attempt to correlate things that have no evidence for relation at all.
Beautifully said
I had some info (meat = strength), got new info (vegan = few champions, mostly speed/endurance). Pointing out that with the small amount of vegan athletes there is, they still make it to the top. But they are not vegans since birth. I did say I was thinking out loud. Apparently that's a sin for some people.
The issue is that’s not info, those are assumptions.
No sin, in thinking out loud. But what you’re saying easily falls apart if you think about it even a little bit.
Yeah, history is not info. And of course the "no, your are wrong" irrefutable argument.
Meat = strength is not a fact, or “info”, or history. Also saying vegans are all endurance athletes. That’s an assumption. Both are assumptions.
Ok. I'm going to leave here. Thanks for voicing your opinions.
That is kind an off logic. Sounds more like an excuse for not taking action than anything else. I bet you can dismantle your arguments on your own in no time of you try.
Omg I love this comeback, will be using that 😂
Haha, this is such a rich come back. Indeed the logic is so lazy that perhaps even trying to dispel it does a disservice to the person who actually came up with it :)
DM me when a full vegan (since birth) becomes a champion in any physical activity. I'll be waiting. "No, you are illogical." Pretty mature.
I lift weights and get bulky and know many others who do so as vegan or vegetarian as well without issue.
Didn't know about it, first time I hear this. I'm in shock I tell you. ><. I think maybe, the hard part about it, is that you need a wide variety and well balanced diet? I mean like, really doing the math. Because of the amino acids? Maybe that's why is not so popular?
