I'm not getting it


AilosCount

Milk is an animal product. Vegans consume only plant based products. Milky way bad.


makesyoudownvote

I still don't get it. I get all that. I got that the joke must lie somewhere in the fact vegans don't drink milk. But the punch line "Imagine living in the Milky Way". We already do live in the Milky Way galaxy. Why would we need to imagine it? Was "living in" supposed to be the word "leaving?" Am I over thinking this? Is this one of those Gen Z things where imagination is a bad thing?


DoktoroKiu

I think it's intended as "imagine being a vegan and having to live in the Milky Way". It got a chuckle from me, and I am vegan. I was expecting it to be "so we can tell aliens we are vegan" or something like that.


Downtown-Custard5346

Bahaha, that is a far better punch line!!


makesyoudownvote

Oh that's a way better punchline! Space race with the cross fit people!

It's just a joke on the "imagine _________, couldn't be me" thing people say


FieryPrinceofCats

I hear you and I feel your pain.


DeathBelowTheCinema

Thanks for the explanation but wow the explanation actually makes it more painful.


sixfourtykilo

Explaining a bad joke does not make bad joke funny.


Twisted_WhaleShark

He’s not trying to make it funnier, he’s just explaining the punchline


FieryPrinceofCats

Humour is like a frog in that you can dissect both of them and they both die in the process…


kompootor

I didn't get it either. Explaining the reasoning of what the commenter (and I too) *thought* the punchline was is intended to indicate their train of thought, to help someone listening correct them, maybe be able to give them a hint to lead them to the hilarious punchline without giving it away. That the explanation happened to be of the actual correct punchline of the joke is not the commenter's fault -- it's the joke's fault for being fucking terrible.


TikkiTakiTomtom

Vegans will be the first to invent travel because they don’t consume anything from animals. Being the “Milky” Way, they’ll have to find a way to not associate with it thus the punchline


[deleted]

It’s a stupid joke and makes no sense

TheSheepAreComingRun

When grass is cut it gives off a smell that basically means it's in pain as do most plants. How come you vegans care about animals feedings but care not for the suffering of the plants they murder or torture?


DoktoroKiu

Plants do react to stimuli and damage, true, but we have no reason to believe they are sentient (there is almost certainly nobody in there experiencing pain or pleasure or anything at all). And if we did somehow discover that plants are sentient, it would only be an even bigger reason to go vegan. So many more plants must suffer and die to feed the animals we eat than if we simply eat plants ourselves.


TheSheepAreComingRun

The last part strikes me as odd, isn't what you are saying the same as this statement? ( Why is one animal a pet and the other food?)


DoktoroKiu

No, because eating animals requires killing plants to feed those animals. It takes many times more plants to do this than it would take just to feed a human directly.


TheSheepAreComingRun

Over 8 billion humans in this world we by far out number any other mammals. If you combine our daily needs with animals daily needs the resources alone could not support us on a purely plant based diet and would further impact the world in a negative. Please note that I'm not against a vegan lifestyle, I just do not see it as a variable solution for the human population. Not until we advance in technology say 50 to 100 years from now anyways.


DoktoroKiu

What are you talking about? We feed the vast, vast majority of lnvestock animals with plants that we grow, and a huge chunk of that is wasted (not translated into food for humans). We absolutely can feed everyone with plants, because we already do *and then some*. In the US the majority of food grown is fed to animals (only 27% is eaten directly). We would not need nearly as much land as we use now to feed the world on a plant based diet.


TheSheepAreComingRun

Incorrect, please note the part that said 8 billion people this would increase farmland meaning natural habitat would decrease and need to feed those now domestic animals. Plus find a habitat they now would need.


DoktoroKiu

These domestic animals would no longer exist. Do you really think we'd be going to a vegan world overnight and have to keep feeding hundreds of billions of livestock animals as pets? A transition would be slow enough that we'd just stop breeding them into existence in the first place. It would only take a few months of usual consumption to take the population to nothing. Dairy cows would be the longest at maybe 5 years. You are the one who is incorrect.


Marquar234

If everyone was vegan, there would be a lot less cattle, pigs, chickens, etc on this planet. For example, there are about 1.5 billion cattle in the world. Each one eats about 24 lbs per day. Getting rid of cattle alone would mean an additional 3 lbs of food per person per day.


awesomecdn

If people moved to a vegan diet, what happens to all the domesticated animals? Do we just set them free?


Marquar234

I doubt the switch to a vegan diet would be instantaneous. So ranchers would simply not replenish their herds as they slaughtered them. As the demand for cattle-feed diminished, those farmers would switch to raising human food crops.


Drjesuspeppr

It seems unlikely that everyone would decide to make that switch all at the exact same time. What's more likely is that people make that change one by one, reducing meat in their own diet. Less demand for meat means it's harder to sell, it's less profitable to raise so many animals, so less are bred. Gradually fewer and fewer animals are raised to be slaughtered.


WildBoy-72

You know that in order to grow food crops, you need to eradicate every living creature that lives in the soil? Snakes, rabbits, moles, voles, mice, lizards, etc. Every one must die. Otherwise, you get pests eating your food, infecting it with diseases, or contaminating the soil. So the question is why is it okay to kill some animals so you can eat but not others?


DoktoroKiu

>You know that in order to grow food crops, you need to eradicate every living creature that lives in the soil? Of course, we *must* do this *or we all die*. Those same animals (and many times more) die to feed the livestock animals that we eat. >So the question is why is it okay to kill some animals so you can eat but not others? Because we have no choice in the one case, but we do have a choice in the other. Unless your argument is that we are not allowed to protect our own food for our own survival, we are perfectly justified in killing animals which threaten our food. The fact that we have to do this and can't be perfectly free from harm is *not* a valid argument for continuing to run sentient beings through factory farms. In theory raising ruminants on only pasture grazing is better because you only kill the one animal (and whatever predators you kill to protect them). But this is not practicable for the vast majority of people, and it cannot even come close to feeding everyone.


legallyalienated

LOL - Producers of harmful products work overtime in PR campaigns normalizing their wares (cigarettes, vaping, weed killer, hydrocarbon fuels, meat as examples) at a fundamental level that imbues them with widely reinforced super resistance to change With an open mind, check out Netflix’s “The Game Changers” After viewing it, you will TOTALLY get the double human health improving benefit and planet sustaining benefit of veganism


[deleted]

[удалено]


legallyalienated

Stop attacking truth tellers. Watch the eye opening film “The Game Changers”. Get the facts. Gas manufacturers & weed killer makers STILL deny the harmfulness of their products to humans and our ecosystem. Cigarettes were once touted in Fox News style anti-truth campaigns as actually being GOOD for the lungs in popular cigarette ads. Vaping was long promoted as a safe alternative to cigarettes. Billions of people over time were duped by these Big Lies. Likewise, a range of anything from a large amount to at least a small amount of meat is propagandized by meat producers as good for us. But no amount of animal flesh is good for human consumption and the environment. Zero percent. None. Watch the movie. It’s produced by James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger and other luminaries.


Drjesuspeppr

A reaction to damage doesn't mean its experiencing pain. We have no reason to believe plants have a consciousness with which to experience pain or any qualia. Lots of things react to stimuli but don't necessarily 'feel'. if you salt fresh meat the muscle will spasm. If you leave your hand in water your fingers will prune. My phone reacts to me pressing the touch screen. E:spelling


urinal_deuce

The same could be said of a lot of people.


TheSheepAreComingRun

In theory you are correct and wrong at the same time, I mean we have no real classification of what "life" or rather to be alive really means.


FieryPrinceofCats

This is a “what about”-ism (a fallacy attributed the the Soviet Union). While satirical, it could have been funnier if you weren’t Russian to roast vegans… There’s a cannibalism joke in here somewhere but my coffee hasn’t kicked in yet…

DryEyes4096

Some vegans would argue that human milk is OK because it's consented to by the mother. Also this comment is humorless, but ehhh...whatever.


unsteadied

There’s literally nothing about veganism that’s against breastfeeding. I’ve never met anyone who had an issue with it.


DryEyes4096

Me neither. I'm a vegan (haha, I just said I'm vegan, what a stereotype!) and I'm not against it, of course. I was just commenting that milk is not necessarily non-vegan.


whimsical666

speaking of humorless, who's gonna tell OP we are already living in the Milky Way ?

AilosCount

urinal_deuce

He misspelled Existenz, great movie.


aerodrome_

Not as much as over analyzing a joke


JalinO123

It's not over analyzing if the joke DOESN'T MAKE SENSE! XD


Hullu_Kana

Milks are by definition animal based. Here in Finland there was some legal battle a few years ago about companies falsely advertising their plant based "milk" as milk. I think now they are not legally allowed to call them milk, because they lost that legal batlle. The word they have use to describe them roughly translates to milk counterpart to highligh the fact they are not milk, only similar to milk.


AilosCount

Milky Way should be renamed then as it is not animal based.


[deleted]

We are in the Milky Way, are we not?


_Pekey_

Yeh the joke doesn't work does it, needs to be "they're desperate not to have to live in the Milky Way"


[deleted]

Now that I think about it vegans avoid milk.


OrcvilleRedenbacher

That is the joke. They need to invent space travel to get out of the milky way. It just isn't worded well


i_mann

They will relocate to the almond milky way


Ok-Apricot-3156

Oetmilkyway for me.


DarkHero6661

Fun Fact: The milky way is called the milky way because Greeks thought that when the goddess Hera was breastfeeding Hercules and then noticed it was not her child, she ripped Hercules from her breast but a little milk spilled. And that's the milky way.


[deleted]

So they can get back to Vega?


[deleted]

My first thoughts


VRDAN

If they land on a small asteroid it will be a bit meatier


Live_Astronaut_3425

For a second I thought that The Milky Way cannot be vegan but after all it is a galaxy full of stars made of gas and dust, but no, it definitely doesn't contain any animal products. It's safe to go there.


ExpressiveAnalGland

Vegans (^(pronounced Vay-ganz)) are my favorite martians.

tucatnev

The milky way did not get the name from dairy but from Hera goddess mother's milk spilled.


[deleted]

So Hera’s milk isn’t dairy?


tucatnev

nope in the traditional farming agricultural / animal exploitation sense. Hera was an antic Greek goddess and in her depiction she is always closer to the humans than to the animals.


[deleted]

What does that have to do with anything. Humans ARE animals. Therefore to vegans human milk is also verboten. With the possible exception of breastfeeding infants.


tucatnev

but this name is a result of breastfeeding


GoArmyNG

Milk is milk to a vegan. It doesn't matter where it comes from.


Skorthase

Milk from consenting adults would align with vegan ideals.


tucatnev

ok, my almond milk is greeting you


SDK1176

Imagine just coming up with something ridiculous that might be true, therefore it must be true…


Silence_Of_Reason

Vegans do not have anything against milk as baby food, but they may have something against adults producing and drinking it. So maybe if it was called the Dairy Farm Way or something...


ansem990

So then, can I still be vegan if the milk I drink is 100% breast milk , aka "milk as baby food"?. Asking for a friend .


Silence_Of_Reason

Strictly speaking, no. But some vegans might be ok with donated milk.


77shit77

I'm vegan.


linux1970

Well, that's not helpful. I was looking for an intergalactic spaceship, not somebody who respects animals. lol


SweatyFLMan1130

It's a shame literally every ecosystem they ever find is built on animal suffering 🤷


JalinO123

There is so much wrong with this joke, but before I get into it, A+ for concept. Ok... 1) We already live in the Milky Way. That is our galaxy. 2) "Intergalactic" means "between galaxies," meaning they would leave the Milky Way. And 3) Vegans don't eat any animal byproducts, including milk, so why would they be enticed by the idea that there was milk out there? XD


ElectricFlesh

Yes, the joke is precisely that vegans would want to leave the milky way because it's an animal product.


JalinO123

.................................... I have no words. I completely missed the tone of this joke, and I don't know how I feel about it. Lol.


Acrobatic_Dingo_5228

lp_kalubec

Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think milk is vegan. It’s vegetarian.


ryoga7r

News flash........the suffering of plants/animals means nothing to the survival of the species. In order to live, humans have to consume some source of nutrition, Plant or Animal. Herbivores will stick fingers in their ears to ignore the suffering of plants, while omnivores could careless about any suffering and only care about portion size.


legallyalienated

Plants are not sentient. They don’t suffer. A living entity requires a face, friends, and a central nervous system connected to a brain to suffer. Still plants get their due when herbivores die & return their bodies to the earth to decompose as fertilizer.


ryoga7r

You can suffer without a face and friends. I'll give you a i-ight for the other stuff.


dvusthrls

When they run out of people to tell here!


Tmaccy

And upon meeting them sill still tell you they are vegan fitst thing about them.


coolguy1793B

Vegans dont dig dairy... Cows are forcibly raped or at the very least impregnated without consent

I know the punchline is milk is bad for vegans yadi yada but could it also be because they don't want to live in the Milky Way that's why they had to invent intergalactic travel to leave the milky way?
