This works so well specially for those people that refuse to touch anything "not cooked" in their plate or that is green.

On this blessed day, we are all truly vegans.

I love your profile image. I should reread Rice Boy.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

High five, fuck yes. Cool person detected. I think you're the first one to spot it, too.

I wish I had that series in print. Might be time to look into that

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ooh, print would be amazing. $30 for the softcover, wonder about shipping though...
I have to believe you're underestimating how recognizable TOE is.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's a hard one to gauge for me. I'm pretty sure I found it via stumbleupon back when that was really great. I read the whole thing in close to one go, and I never hear anyone else talk about it.

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

stumbleupon, wow... That takes me back.

  • Amish: techno vegans
  • Mennonite: techno vegetarians
[–] Sans_Seraph@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I interpreted that as techno, as in the genre, for too long.

I keep trying to eat meat but it just won't cooperate!

It’s like taking the last syllable of the name of the hotel and tacking it onto every scandal, because you didn’t understand that it’s part of the name of a hotel, and not some sort of indicator of scandal.

[–] guillem@aussie.zone 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The worst was the Col scandal.

(Sorry. So sorry)

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Please see yourself out

You're hereby invited to /c/vegan, as you appear to be a Northern Hemisphere vegan.

netaphor vegan

Found an autocorrect vegan!

[–] guillem@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

In my most upvoted comment. I'm hating that typo so much.

[–] Korne127@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I mean "Straight edgers" is on the same level already

[–] MisterFrog@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

Recycling: waste vegans.

The Germans are probably upset with this comparison

What for a nonsense. Do these other countries not sort their waste or what? Do they not know about efficiency? Next thing you're going to tell me they don't sort their white, green and brown glass separately.
