How have I not seen this cringe yet?
Lmao that’s so awesome what a dumbfuck hey did you ever think what if plants were sentient then you’d be the bad one didn’t think of that checkmate vegans
Literally the plot of Troll 2
Neil: “Listen, listen” proceeds to describe what humans do to sentient beings literally fucking right now as somehow a gotcha to vegans
The guy is like a lib saying socialism is bad and then proceeding to describe capitalism as examples of said things lmao.
This is possibly the dumbest “own” to vegans I’ve ever seen.
“WHAT IF SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM REALITY HAPPENED, I BET YOU’D BE PRETTY OWNED”
Come on, man
Except even in this reality it still makes no sense.
The animals we raise are being fed plants that we grow, so eating animals is just accelerated plant genocide.
But more importantly, I think the aliens that are smart enough to make it to this planet will understand that our planet works differently in how energy flows through our ecosystem. I don’t think the sentient plants that developed space travel capabilities are going to scratch their heads at what an animal is.
This is just a nerd version of people trotting out the “Well look at this study that shows plants send chemical signals when they’re in distress, this is the same as dunking chickens in vats of boiling oil.”
Which is an arguement for veganism too, since most plants grown are used for animal feed
70% of farmland is used to create 30% of calories.
Edit: actually its 80% of farmland and 20% of calories
This. I’ve seen chuds on social media posting this shit for a while now. Just another case of a lib siding with right wingers.
Suppose their was a pig and it had shit falling off its balls
“Imagine this sentient race, they’d be aghast at the idea of eating things very similar to them!”
Apparently not if they’re like you, Neil duMasse-Tyson
What if aliens from the sentient air planet come to earth and see us breathing
What if aliens from the chair planet see us sitting on chairs
What if poop aliens come and see that we flush poop down our toilets
I’d watch a Twilight Zone episode about poop aliens
Astrophysicist thinks baby carrots are infant carrots
This is worse than I thought it was going to be, please tell me it’s a bit…
A user on HB mentioned once that he likely says a bunch of dumb debate pervert statements to push his SA accusations down the SEO rankings.
that seems a bit convoluted and conspiratorial. although i could believe he acts stupid for attention because it’s his brand.
“What if there were mushroom people from the mushroom planet”
“They’d be so fucking mad at you for eating shiitake”
“That’s their bro, dude”
“Hand me the brain of that non conceptual pig that demonstrated the ability to do numerical discrimination before i murdered it for food. Yummerz”
He also tweets yearly about the earth arbitrarily going around the sun when everyone is blasting NYE posts. It’s fucking weird.
Yeah he’s just an science communicator with an astronomy background. I don’t think he’s ever come across as a particularly skilled debater or deep thinker.
skilled debater or deep thinker
very much the opposite in TAFS
Never liked this guy. Just exudes smug and is every negative stereotype of a STEM lord.
This the kind of thing you expect your older brother to say after he hits the bong
