that feels like a post your reactionary uncle would share on facebook with a ton of laugh crying emojis

[–] Kalkaline@leminal.space 35 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, I like to eat meat, but I leave the vegetarians and vegans alone. Why pick a fight?

[–] fuckingkangaroos@lemm.ee 14 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Because some people get food aggressive, and even a mention of a sustainable diet that doesn't depend on cruel treatment of animals get them all riled up

This might just be me, but an exclamation point ruins this joke, and many similar ones

With no exclamation point, I read this as a very dry, very serious response, and the comedy comes from the absurdity of what's said with a straight face

When I see the exclamation mark, my brain goes "BOOMER BOOMER BOOMER"

It’s not just you. Fixed it:

I worked with a lot of non-native English speakers and they love this stuff.

I don't understand why. I mean, I can assume.

[–] MadBob@feddit.nl 6 points 3 months ago

If they're anything like me, they might be laughing simply because they get the pun.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago

Eh, as a native English speaker, I thought it was good. I have pretty low standards though, and I like other corny jokes like saying you're vegetarian because you only eat other vegetarians (e.g. cows).

So controversial. Now imagine we're also laughing at the ridiculous position of the cat.

A biological food replicator would be a better option if it were available today.

A cow?

[–] ZarkleFarkle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Not necessarily. It would be any (dead) living organism. I'm talking about sci-fi cooking.
