    Hear me out, guys. What if, in the distant future, cars are self driving and sentient. And in that same future, what if people riding bikes kept hitting into those sentient cars. And those cars kept getting injured and dying because people riding bicycles kept riding selfishly and going into the car lanes and hitting the poor innocent cars. Those cars would be pretty traumatised by the bicycle people.

    Fuck people riding bicycles are fucking dicks.

    I just realised I haven’t eaten any meat in 8 days and only once for all of January. Not even on purpose. Being vegetarian is easier than I thought.

    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

    “often i’m asked, what if the world was made of pudding, and now we know, if you go into the geological research on this, we know the world isn’t made of putting, but people are still obsessed with this, so i think, okay, imagine the world was made of pudding, first of all, agriculture, which we’ve been doing as a species for longer than recorded history, we wouldn’t be able to FARM, we wouldn’t be able to plant crops or anything like that! and if anything, if the world were made of pudding and somehow no one had realized this, uh, abundant food source sitting right under their feet, then there wouldn’t be enough food to sustain all humanity, let alone other animals. so i think in some ways it’s a very illuminating question but chuckles perhaps not quite in the way these people think.”

    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.

    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 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.”
