Cool source (the second one, the first one fucking sucks I hate it 😁). According to it all mammals have canines, even and especially herbivores. The sabre-tooth water deer for example, cited in your source, has extremely pronounced canines. Still a herbivore. Next!
I mean the source you provided literally says the bottom canines are less pointy and pronounced than the top set, especially in humans, so I don’t feel very corrected? You keep at it though, I believe in you!
Cannot help but notice that that paragraph does not contain the word “omnivore” anywhere except the first sentence.
The fact that the human body is not especially well suited to killing prey with its bare hands and tearing flesh off of bones is more indicative of tool use and the fact that we cook our food than anything else, and even if it weren’t, herbivores get sick when they eat meat. Carnivores get sick when they eat plants. Humans get sick from neither; therefore, definitionally, we are omnivores.
I do agree that the state of factory farming is apalling. I can also imagine futures in which factory farming does not exist besides the one where no human eats meat ever again.
i’m not gonna say it again. i applaud your decision to go vegan, but please, for the love of everything you hold sacred, stop pretending your choice is the only correct one. You say you can live and let live. Demonstrate this please.
OP didn’t make an argument, OP posted a meme poking fun at people who unironically say things like that. In response the OP of this particular thread unironically said something like that. I’m just having a good time.
Dude if I had a nickel for every dumb prick who pointed at their little bitty canines and said some variation of “see, we have sharp teeth, we’re carnivores” I’d have a lot of nickels.
OP didn’t create this argument. The world is full of things that have nothing to do with you. Instead of getting bent out of shape about it you can just move along. You don’t get the reference? Keep scrolling, it’s not for you.
My fuckin mouth.
Or Wikipedia I guess.

Downvote if you can’t refute!
I didn’t even take a stance on what the teeth mean for diet. I was just correcting you lol.

Less pointy != not pointy but go off bb.
Go rip some fresh animal flesh straight off the bone with those pointy bad boys then, bb.
The bottom what? Bottom canines? So you’re arguing they’re not what they are literally called?

What ad hominem is that?

Was that meant as an ad hominem? I thought you didn’t like those.
Garbage was a reference to what you were adding to the “discussion”, not you as a person, so doesn’t qualify as ad hominem.
Same for gibbering nonsense.
And how, pray tell, does the name ‘canines’ factor into your argument? I’m dying to know.
I never had an argument. Just pointing out the flaws in yours.
What’s my argument? What are the flaws?? I’m listening.
If you don’t even know then I guess you’re just gibbering nonsense.
the fact that I can digest meat at all suggests that I am an omnivore
it is wonderful that you are vegan but please shut the fuck up trying to pretend that it is humanity’s natural state

Such as this herbivore? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fg2mJ4veuAY
Flat teeth, ate meat.
Panda: sharp teeth, eats plants.
Almost like your argument falls apart at the slightest bit of scrutiny. Anyway
My argument? OP’s argument was that people not having “carnivore teeth” means people shouldn’t eat meat.
I see you agree that that is a nonsense argument.

Who is saying that? Maybe OP should be posting this in response to them, not somewhere unrelated with no context.
If OP isn’t making an argument then this is the definition of a Strawman: OP created an argument to disprove with their meme.

I’m not the one getting bent out of shape here.
