Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I suppose. but I worry about those who cannot biologically process a vegetarian diet no matter the supplements they take. If they get bitten by the tick, they're fucked

I do hate that this is downvoted as your comment seems to have been targeted out of rash and inflammatory reaction to your comment

Your comment is logical and I believe people who don't choose to be vеgаn shouldn't be forced into it

I'd hoped this response to comments would have stayed on reddit but apparently not

It’s a shame, but tribalism is built into our species; the moment someone gets even a whiff of ‘us vs them’, it comes back into the forefront.

You'd have to be pretty damn unlucky to not only have one rare condition affecting your diet, but also get bitten by the makes-you-vegetarian-bug

That's a thing? I mean, non-meat products are... well, an absolute fuckton. Obviously I know there's stuff like gluten or fructose intolerance, allergies, etc.,but the spectrum of "things that aren't meat" just seems too large for somebody to be incapable to live without it. Like, you would have to be absolute stacked with rare medical issues affecting your dietary options.
