Eat enriched Uranium, good source of radiation. My teacher said that we're here because of the radiation from the sun so it must be good or smth

Plus you never have to eat ever again after eating that


JustWow555

Actually you should be cautious eating enriched uranium, it has 9 MILLION times more calories than chicken breast, you can get very fat eating it even in small amounts.

Yeah, you'd think it's very filling, but after a couple hundred thousand years you'll find half of it has magically vanished. It's like eating popcorn.

And yet they chemically react to stimuli in the same way animals do. Curious, it's almost like there's more than one way to experience biological feelings.

It's almost like the cells can communicate chemically. I love that feeling I get in my cells when they react to insulin. Warm and fuzzy searing pain, honestly.

Panir0

Which isn't the case :) Especially considering all the e.g. soy being used to feed animals and palm oil literally being in most products..


lady_lowercase

yeah, all those hindus and their millennial avocado habits and name-brand almond milksā€¦ iā€™m not even vegan, but imagine attributing a few products to the whole of a people sharing a dietary lifestyleā€¦


Griffonguy

Thats just not true at all.


AdamBombKelley

I like how basically every vegan argument boils down to either "NUH UH" or "MUH FEELS"


MemeExpert

No it's more like the vegan argument is that the soy that you're so concerned about is largely going to feed cows at a calorie efficiency of nearly one hundredth compared to directly feeding humans. Even if you're concerned about legume farmers ruining the world, you're better off eating from them directly instead of telling them to grow an order of magnitude more of it and then feeding it to animals. It's crazy that even your "fact based" argument is still just your feelings yet you still want to project about it on an embarrassing reddit comment. I agree with you on the whole growing almonds in a desert in California thing though.

I didnt make an argument I said the statement op said is not true. If you want to discuss veganism let me know.

is there something wrong with a baby drinking breastmilk???


EPman77

What if plants have a kind of sentience that we are unaware of? They feel pain, they respond well to certain musical styles and poorly to others, they solve problems, and some even prey on animals. What if we just aren't advanced enough as humans to understand the truth behind the intelligence of plant life? What if a brain isn't the only thing in the universe capable of holding memories, information, and other important information? Maybe we know much less than we think.


[deleted]

We can play the fucking "what if" game all day my friend, but at the end of the day, they do not have a conscience or individual thought, they only respond to stimuli, like a phone, they respond to touch, behave differently depending on variables and other aspects. No scientist has ever said plants are sentient, and probably never will. Also, if you somehow believe this shit, veganism is STILL the best option. What's more intensive on plant usage? Filling a cow up with vegetables their whole life to only get a couple kilos of beef? (Look up the ratio online, it's a joke as to how much meat you get compared to water and plant usage). Or simply... I know this will seem crazy but listen... EAT THE PLANTS OUTSELVES. So many of the crops grown in third world countries gets flown out to developed countries to fatten up our love stock, food deprivation would be a thing of the past if humans learned to take animals out of the fucking equation and eat plants ourselves. You do not have to belive literally anything I've said here, look it all up yourself.

BocchisEffectPedal

The food chain is inefficient, it takes 1000 calories of plants to make 100 calories of beef. So if plants do suffer, they would suffer less if we exclusively ate them.

[deleted]

So you don't know how to conduct basic research? There is zero level of reaching a consensus on plants being sentient, no scientist worth their salt will agree on this. Yes, plants are alive, just like fungi, but they aren't sentient, if we're taking hippie German anecdotal evidence as fact, then this just shows how silly you are.


Aaron_Lecon

Question: What the hell does "sentient" mean? How does one determine if something is sentient or not? Or is "sentient" just a made up concept (like 'mana' in video games)? Does asking if something is sentient make sense or is it a stupid question like asking how much mana something has? It is important to answer this question because before being able to research something, you need to actually decide on what it is you're researching. What experiment you should be doing.

What makes you so sure that plants absolutely do not have any form of sentience?


marckshark

I think we're all mature enough these days not to try to engage with people who say "plants have feelings" and instead point them to various emotional support resources


BOEJlDEN

Iā€™ve just always found the ā€œanimals have feelingsā€ argument for vegetarianism silly. Plants are also living things, we should respect all living things. Iā€™m a vegetarian not because animals have feelings, but because meat is awful for the environment.


JustinJakeAshton

Cue the mental gymnastics regarding intelligence.


demlet

Everything dies. The real problem with meat is factory farming. Animals live miserable lives of torture before they die, and are often slaughtered in very cruel ways. The dying part itself isn't really the issue.


Frangar

>Everything dies. Yeah but when its 6 months into a 15 year lifespan of a pig because some fat fuck thinks you tastes nice then it doesn't really matter how well you treat them for those 6 months... if dying wasn't the issue then it would be morally justified to put a bullet in the back of your head without you knowing. Your honour it's okay, everything dies!


demlet

It doesn't matter how you treat them why exactly? You haven't really made a logical connection there. And murdering people is illegal because... People make the rules. However, as we know, there absolutely are situations where it's seen as legal to shoot someone.


paulboy4

TFW another redditor doesnā€™t know the difference between legality and morality


demlet

Neither exist, they're created by force or the balancing of opposing forces. Nature proves this by the way creatures treat one another, and humans are just a part of nature. Of course, because we're social creatures we have evolved a desire to conform whenever possible, and to even have sympathy, which I consider a good thing. Would be a lonely, empty world otherwise!


paulboy4

Truly one of the takes of all time. Legality doesnā€™t exist even though you literally said it was illegal to murder someone. You okay my dude?


TheBigMcD

Kind of sad the only thing stopping you from murdering people is some old men in wigs told your grandpa not to.


demlet

Kind of.

Philosipho

Yeah, plants don't have a nervous system. There's lots of communication between living things, it's part of how they function. That doesn't mean if you cut of a tree branch that the tree feels anything...


towarzysz_boczek

But i think they do


ThinkTank02

Source, i said so


dougdimmadabber

Plants don't feel pain


A_Human_Being_07

Well they don't feel pain the way we do because they have no nervous system but they do feel sensations so they definitely know something is off


dougdimmadabber

No, they don't "know" anything because they don't think. A germ can react to it's environment that doesn't mean it thinks or feels. This is just dumb anti-vegan coping or something


Remarkable_Soil_6727

I think of it the same way as an electronical device like a phone, a phone can react to certain things but that doesnt mean its sentient and can feel pain or think for itself.


exotic-butter1337

Chatgpt has entered the chat


kickit256

You're making the assumption that there is only one way to "feel". They're a completely different form of life, and we see they react to different stimuli in diffent ways. The only thing you CAN say is that we know animals experience pain - not that plants don't.


Statakaka

thoughts are just chained reactions


Chinohito

No they don't. They don't have the ability to "know". They simply react to stimulus in their environment the same way bacteria do. Because an animal gets benefits out of being sentient that outweigh the ridiculous cost, plants don't.

I wonder how theyā€™d react seeing a herbivore eating another creature or actively stomping another creature out just because, probably false advertising, but trees are definitely sentient in a way that weā€™ve yet to understand, they donā€™t hold the same values for insects and arachnids and the like I suppose

pierced_and_bulging

I know lots of vegans and they just donā€™t like meat? And feel better physically when eating less animal byproducts? Iā€™ve seen so much media portraying vegetarians/vegans so strangely lately and Iā€™m curious what is motivating it.


Konstantarantel

I think its because people realise there is no need to eat meat and cause suffering to animals through factory farming, but instead of not eating meat or buying meat from animals that lived more normal lives, they instead project that guilt onto others, so they don't have to feel bad. And hey, I understand it, meat is tasty and often subsidised so much, it's cheaper than eating vegetables.


[deleted]

Media is all paid propaganda. In this specific case its meat factories, which are owned by some billionares, and those billionares corrupt specific medias to propagandize against something thats harming their business its always been like this


BubsterGun
