Would be a shame if this ended up in the water supply
It certainly would. It’s not a meat allergy, it’s an alpha-galactose allergy. Alpha-gal is present in all foods and ingredients made from beef, pork, lamb, venison, rabbit, and other mammal sources, including gelatin and milk. Certain seaweeds also contain alpha-gal, along with most Vegan product alternatives. Alpha-gal is found worldwide among the inactive ingredients and materials of medications and healthcare products, and it is generally not required to be labelled.
Based on the snarky tone, I have to assume you’re one of the vocal vegans that people hate because of the superiority complex that exudes from even simple comments like this. You should probably do a basic amount of research before commenting and proving you haven’t done any.
My thoughts exactly
They’re either an obnoxious vegan or 13 years old.
On lemmy? Lmaooo
Not even Lemmy, just Earth
You read the parent comment as completely serious and used it to rail against an assumed or imagined vegan boogeyman. Sounds tongue in cheek to me. I’m still waiting to see this “obnoxious vegan” everyone’s talking about. I know they exist, but all I see are angry meat eaters complaining about them
Go ahead and take a look at the vegan communities around the fediverse, don’t even need to go to the Reddit cesspool, they come along with everyone else… and let me know if they look like they’re not serious about that type of thing.
Holy hell, another one? I just found one of these creatures yesterday. My comments still reek of the responses to them.
What a wild way to interact with people… have a nice day
e: i read this as calling me a creature. after reading some of your comments i think i missed
No no, not you.

That’s some pretty terrible assumption skills you got there, mate. I’ve seen stormtroopers with better precision than you.
My assumption skills? You seem to have completely missed the point the scenes in Star Wars, despite there being quite a bit of evidence against that belief. Some people just want to believe misinformation when it reinforces what they want to believe, especially if it’s funny or seems to mean there’s a plot hole or error in a film. Star Wars has plenty of those… Stormtrooper aim isn’t one of them.
Grand Moff Tarkin and Darth Vader have a scene discussing letting them escape, because they planted a homing beacon on the Millenium Falcon. The Stormtroopers are avoiding hitting them specifically so the Millenium Falcon can escape and the Empire can follow it back to the Rebel base. Tarkin literally says he’s taking a risk, so he clearly instructed them to let the prisoners escape.

And that doesn’t even take into account several other comments from people through the films about Stormtrooper aim, including from Obi Wan who obviously was a General in the Republic Army and ostensibly knows what he’s talking about, and ignoring several scenes across the movies and shows where the Stormtroopers do fire accurately.
I apologize for that. I made use of a unfair stereotype to make a cheap joke. Stormtroopers are capable, well trained military service men and women.
Now, that is a terrible thought.
Terrible thought is my middle name. Abbadon “terrible thought” Johnson
