    You should crosspost this to a boomer humor community, I’m sure they’d love it.

    Here’s an actually funny joke on the topic from Mitch Hedberg:

    • I’m not a vegetarian because I like animals. I just really hate plants.

    Oh goodie, a dumb post making fun of veganism, I’m sure the comments are going to super mature and nuanced.

        It might have been funny 10,000 years ago when it was first told. Now it’s just something your fox news watching uncle says to your hippy cousin every Thanksgiving with a smug grin on his face.

      You haven’t seen how factory farms work then, which is good for your mental health probably, but you should really take time to understand the actual problems and serious it is.

      The conditions that most animals live in is horrifying and they suffer a great deal before butchering, and the butchering process is often flawed and has tons of problems, with wide-scale reports of abusive conditions and botched kills, to say nothing of the massive amount of mental and physical harm it does to the people who’s job it is to kill thousands of living beings every day.

      You don’t have to give up meat, but at the very least consider buying local from non-industrial farms.

      We kill them quickly but it’s mostly all bad in terms of what comes before and throughout the animals life. I still eat bacon and all, but no need to sugarcoat it.

      We don’t try to avoid much of any suffering tbh. Even the fast and painless death is just so they don’t damage the equipment or the meat.
