Oh boy, another dogshit kill animals hehe meme. Very funny maymay community. Psuedoprogressive animal abusers the lot of ya. There is not enough resources on Earth to quench your never ending demand for bodies. Just have ten trillion kids who all definitely have the opportunity to eat just as many animals as you do! Primitive zero brain cell fools. I’d throw you all out of Athens.
Yeah dude idk how to tell you this but some people actually do have an interest in a sustainable planet and individual’s bodily autonomy. Idc if these are foreign ideas to you. OP’s post itself is the trolling. If y’all don’t want reactionary responses, dont troll this shit to the top post for the last six hours. You’ve all demonstrated very clearly how little you care about anything outside of your own momentary pleasure.
You are as pathetic as your trolling attempts. Please shut up.
Edit: fuck it, I realise that engaging you. Just gonna block you and move on. Have a nice day.
You’re not going to change any minds by shutting on the people you’re proselytizing to.
Give it a few more years until lab-grown meat is cheaper than live animals, and then recommend that as an alternative. People are more motivated by money than ethics.
Cheap lab grown meat is not “a few years” out. Furthermore, this is like saying you shouldn’t berate people for owning slaves because they are just waiting for robots to come along that can fulfill the same tasks. Even if some magical x factor will cause everyone to be vegan two years from now that would not excuse the conditions we subject animals to in the present.
internet is filled with echo chambers who cant make ethical decisions of their own. veganism gets downvoted because it makes people question their morality & they have to make the effort of buying plant-based options. god forbid they eat food without cholesterol
Veganism gets downvoted for the same reason any other fanaticism gets downvoted: the vocal minority that talks about it does so with a hoiler-than-thou attitude, much like you are doing right now.
The people who want me to stop punching nonconsenting people in the face unprovoked sure are smug about not punching nonconsenting people in the face unprovoked. They should stop telling me what to do. Live and let live. I am very intelligent. An enlightened centrist you might say! ☝️🤓
More than half of America lives paycheck to paycheck. Vegan options are more expensive. Until you fix the economic crisis and solve poverty you really can’t enforce veganism.
This isn’t even getting into the fact that vegan options are literally nonexistent in many places.
Oh but you don’t care about that because you only care about veganism because it allows you to feel morally superior to others.

If anyone has any good rib recipes, it would be greatly appreciated
Make some shallow cuts on the ribs, so the salt penetrates better on them. Add a generous amount of [important!]coarse[/important] salt, making sure that some crystals go inside the cuts. Wait half hour or so.
Light a charcoal fire, and barbecue the ribs for a hour with the bony side down. [important!]Low fire.[/important] The bones should start detaching themselves from the meat, then you know that it’s time to flip it; cook it with the fattier side down for a few more hours.
Use your judgment if you need to flip it again or not. Some people only flip it once, some do it multiple times. This should take 4~6h so wake up early if you want it to be ready for lunch.
In the pressure cooker:
- a bit of veg oil
- an onion, peeled, sliced
- 1kg ribs, cut into large chunks
- salt and pepper to taste
Put the veg oil, onion, ribs, salt and pepper in the pressure cooker, in this order. No need for water (the onions release quite a bit of water). Close it, let it cook on pressure for 40min.
It’s a godsend for a lot of things, from Bolognese sauce to “fuck I’m in a hurry perhaps I can adapt this recipe to the pressure cooker”. And some things get actually better in the pressure cooker, not just faster; homemade veg stock is a good example.
I can butcher it if she wants help. It shouldn’t be too different from pigs.
(It’s really precious though. Think on how many kilos of meat it has!)
funny how serial killers get upvoted when it’s non-human animals getting killed
As I said in the other reply, you got to choose between the serious and memes-friendly reply. You had ~3h to do so, and you’re showing activity, so you picked neither = both.
c/memes friendly answer: Serial killer? Come on, I don’t put ketchup on pizza, sauce on ribs or hard cheese on seafood!
Serious answer. Spoilers for the sake of other users.
First off. I will cut you some slack, but keep in mind that “serial killer” is generally understood as “one who periodically kills humans”, so what you’re doing is libel. Others might not cut you the same slack, so get a bit more insightful with your insults.
Secondly. I also understand that “I shouldn’t soapbox in a meme comm” is a bit too complex of an idea for nationalists, vegans, racists, and Christian zealots. And given that you belong to at least one of those groups, this should be really hard for you, o poor thing.
Final and more importantly:
You wouldn’t call a jaguar piercing the necks of capybaras “serial killing”, even if they periodically do so. Or orcas hunting seals, even if they can get really “playful” (cruel) towards their prey, also periodically. Or chickens eating bugs alive, so they die either crushed or dissolved in hydrochloric acid, even if they don’t need it to survive. Or chimps hunting termites and teaching their children how to do so, even if there’s a cultural factor in this.
And yet you refer to a human being killing a member of another species [ipsis ungulis] “serial killer” Why, even if by the above we know that you don’t give a fuck about periodicity, cruelty, necessity, or culture? Why?
Because you want to pretend that you’re part of a very, very special snowflake species, “holier and above all those filthy irrationals”, above them. As if you were better, more moral, more deserving of The Kingdom of God than those “poor things”.
Cut off the bullshit. You and me are catarrhines with a weird hair pattern. We are animals; acknowledge you as such, instead of wallowing in wishful belief. The morality behind our acts is the same as the morality of the same acts of other species. If eating flesh is immoral for us, so is for both other omnivorous species and the carnivorous ones. You can claim that eating flesh is moral, or immoral, but you need to do it for both sides.
If you claim that it’s immoral, go grab your shotgun and kill every fucking jaguar, orca, chimp, and chicken out there. (Except battery farm chickens, those cause less death of precious animals than you’d like to admit.) Or even better, go ramble at the jaguar, he’ll totally listen to you and stop eating capybaras. (He’ll probably eat something dumber than a capybara then. You.)
If you claim that it’s moral, I rest my case.
You’re also putting animal lifes in a weird altar over the lives of everything else. Every fucking living thing thrives off the death of something else; even plants, bacteria and funghi. Why is this weird altar even there? Because you’re an animal and put your own group over the others, in detriment of those.
I’ll pre-emptively rebuke some really stupid counter-arguments that you perhaps might utter:
- Any reasoning trying to pretend that humans are “speshul”, such as intelligence - refer the paragraph starting with “Cut off”.
- “Dis is appoeal to narurr! [nature]” - nope. I’m highlighting that your standards are arbitrary and, if consistently applied, would go completely against what you probably claim to defend (“poor crirrurrs” [critters])
- Something about tone - deal with it. You brought this to yourself.
- “haha didn’t read lmao XD lol” - can’t have your precious, oh precious feelings ( = garbage) being broken, right?
- “B-but the environment!” - the issue with continued sustainability of Earth to keep human life is not the fact that we eat meat. It’s the 1% hoarding resources and making sure that we exploit the shit out of the environment so they can count coins.
- “this dunt maek sense i dun unrurrstand” - it does make sense even if you pretend that it doesn’t.
Get off your high horse.
Note for other vegans that might be reading this, before some assumer starts whining and becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy: I’m not chewing on this moron because it’s a vegan, but because it showed itself consistently dumb across the thread.
Whoa now don’t go comparing the natural order to factory farms. There’s a huge difference.
The most important being that no other animal farms other animals to the scale humans do. There are some examples of ants harvesting honeydew from aphids, and other symbiotic relationships…but the relationship between predator/prey makes up the majority of animal life, and in doing so, ensures a natural sort of checks-and-balances to keep things from spiraling out of control.
And on top of that, the natural order is damn near close to zero-waste. Nearly everything down to the bone gets consumed by a variety of predators and scavengers, right down to the insects cleaning up the scraps.
Factory farming is a big middle-finger to the whole natural balance. We breed, raise, and slaughter huge populations of large animals at a massive scale. And it’s effects are only worsened by growing alfalfa in the desert and soy in the regions formerly known as rainforest, and transport those by millions-of-years-sequestered carbon off to the factory farms to make the specially-bred bovine grow especially fast.
Personally I went “mostly vegan” for environmental reasons (will still enjoy an occasional high-quality cheese or dairy-based sweet treat). I just can’t reconcile the GHG impact of meat farming with my personal needs. Plenty of other sources of protein and micronutrients than the 3-4 sources of meat that regularly make their way to most American diets.
After reading that, I’m curious about your stance on ethics.
A utilitarian could argue that—even if their lives were fleeting and miserable—the factory-farmed animals would otherwise not exist were it not for their use as livestock. Would it be less ethical to have prevented their existence entirely?
[A] The existence of these animals contributes to the net quantity of happiness in our world. Even if it’s very little on an individual scale, it’s a significant amount as a whole. Wouldn’t it, therefore, be better that they do exist, even in such conditions?
[B] Does a livestock animal’s life not have a value in itself? Even if its life was objectively awful, it was given the opportunity to experience it. Would it be more cruel to—as argued by pro-life individuals—deny it the chance to experience life, no matter how such a life turned out in the end?
[C] Relatively speaking, perhaps the animal did not have such a miserable life as we imagined. From the perspective of an outsider, growing up in a cage sucks. But, maybe an animal would enjoy being constantly given access to food and water for no effort. We can generalize based on scientific data, but much like humans, there could be lazy animals that enjoy the lifestyle.
Pigs are as smart as dogs. It’s weird that harming onenis animal abuse and the other is breakfast. Especially when some cultures eat dogs as well.
Dunno about other people, but in my case:
- I don’t consider killing a dog for eating as intrinsically abusive.
- I never ate dogs, but I’d probably try it as long as raised and butchered as livestock. On the other hand I’d never touch someone’s pet potbelly pig.
- I’m drinking and you made me crave salami.
Wouldn’t make much sense to raise dogs as livestock though, not enough meat on them and they pretty much need a diet that includes meat so it gets very expensive, especially for a dog that gets big enough to make a real steak from it…
It’s not weird. Humans like cute things. If they are not cute, we don’t care.
Sorry but we are cave men still.
Some of us don’t draw a distinction at all. Shout-out to Elwood’s Organic Dog Meat!
the meat industry put out decades of propaganda during the great depression & world wars to convince the western world to buy meat & dairy. truth is, humans have lived off plant based diets for millennia. ending factory farming is one of the easiest ways to combat climate change & corporations
- Humans have also been eating meat for millennia. We’re omnivores, and have always been opportunistic about what we eat
- Individuals cutting down their personal meat consumption won’t stop factory farming, but ending subsidies that make that practice highly profitable might
The only evolutionary reason humans have advanced brains is because of nutrient rich meat.
FYI that study has been successfully debunked shortly after it was written.
There are more recent claims of doubt against more meat = large brain though.
The fact still is that both meat and animal milk were a huge impact in early homo life.
It’s entirely possible that our capacity of language and advanced learning stems from non dietary sources.
Most people have consumed animal proteins the catch is they weren’t eating a lot meat regularly. One of my ancestors was upper middle class when he migrated to the USA and founded a small city. His journal talks about his meals and as a wealthy person with a dairy farm he still mostly had stew and rarely ate steak. He wasn’t eating animals all the time and that was 1840-80s. We need to go back to a time when eating a whole chicken among a family of four in a single meal almost never happened IF we continue farming animals which as you noted is a climate change nightmare.
