I got in trouble on reddit for writing "stupid cats box" and my cat jumped in because they said I was abusing him like whaaaat

[–] EldenLord@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He looks like he knows whats written on that box

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I've always figured most cats wouldn't care even if they knew what you were calling them. As long as they get food and pets, whatever.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

It's nothing compared to what they call us, anyways.

Reminds me of my ex questioning why I would eat meat in Minecraft since I'm vegetarian

[–] Dandelion@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago

As a vegetarian, eating meat really isn't amongst the worst things I do in Minecraft. If you think about the way an iron farm functions, you repeatedly scare a villager so that iron golems spawn, which you than kill. To even be able to start a new village you first have to kidnap a few villagers(unless you want to do the zombie curing thing). Oh while we are at it, if you want cheap prices with the villagers, you can trauma bond them to yourself, by repeatedly letting them get killed by zombies and curing them again. Villagers are also the only way to automatically farm crops so I have one trapped on a farm with a minecart under it as well. :>

Lmao. Oh no, the pixels in the shape of a ham hock are suffering!

I'm vegetarian but I don't even like playing vegetarian Sims. I mean, it's cool to be included, but I already have to navigate menus to find specific foods IRL. I don't want to have to do it in a game.

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 days ago

But your promoting big meats agenda !!!!!

L-l-l-lava! Ch-ch-ch-chicken!

pigs in videogames use real electricity

[–] hallettj@leminal.space 9 points 3 days ago

Hmm, good point. The pig AI requires a lot more computations than wheat or pumpkins which are managed by random tick updates.

I'm a meat eater but had trouble killing those Minecraft sheep

[–] PlexSheep 6 points 3 days ago

I never do it. Look at my name. First thing I craft with iron is shears.

[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Is it bad that I actually refuse to eat meat in Minecraft, too.

I don't judge people for eating a few pixels, but personally I don't want to promote animal cruelty, real or not. It also makes for a nice challenge to create a sustainable food source without the ol' lava chicken machine.

Meanwhile, I'm a cannibal in Fallout 76.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 days ago

And don't get me started on rimworld

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

i eat meat but i think what you're doing is perfectly fine. no different than playing an rpg character who won't kill for moral reasons.

[–] Fleur_@aussie.zone 6 points 2 days ago

I do vegan playthroughs of the games I play

[–] als@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 3 days ago (3 children)

It's just that bread is a bad food source in Minecraft but steak is very good. That is, until you have enough gold to eat golden carrots, but that usually involves battery farming pigmen. My irl morals don't come into play when playing most games and nowhere is this clearer than my rimworld saves.

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Carrots and baked potatoes are an amazing source of food, but you need to find a village to get them

A better source of golden carrots is trading with villagers at the highest level, which dont require you to find a village, but require finding a nether fortress or igloo

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I hope you mean golden carrots because raw carrots are soo annoying

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago

Raw potatoes are annoying. Raw carrots arent that bad

[–] KombatWombat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You can also get carrots and potatoes from zombie drops.

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 2 points 2 days ago

But they are rare

Suspicious stew (saturation) is ethically AOK and is also just the best food item in the game. Too bad it's non-stackable, so I just keep a bowl and a stack of each ingredient in my inventory at all times.

So, do you also avoid leather products in Minecraft? Because that kinda locks you out of progression with enchanting unless you play modded.

[–] mauumauukittycat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

never got the point of leather armour, your gonna hit iron before long anyway, why waist time and resources on leather armour?

[–] Turret3857 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

books need leather which is why enchanting was mentioned. base game enchanting without books is not ideal

ohh forgot about enchantments

[–] Zangoose@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

If your goal is just to avoid killing animals, technically you can get bookshelves from villagers through trading (also just in villages and strongholds themselves).

[–] parlaptie@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago

Okay, I thought of that too, but then you're honestly just outsourcing the problem. You don't know how villagers made their books. (Yes, I know, they technically just spawn them in.)

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Depends on the definition of an animal. I suggest we go with science instead of tradition and include humans.

Oh god, I thought that was an experience unique to me. I found it so stupid that I was sure such a thing could only happen once.

My ex is a vegan, a -final boss- vegan

Meanwhile I have a full on vegetarian farmstead in Vintage Story, and eat some meat IRL

[–] lath@piefed.social 84 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Rabbits eat their own babies.

[–] FrankFrankson@lemmy.world 105 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Think about all the creative ways they can do that now since they have seen some recipes.

[–] twikz@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 days ago
[–] Tonava@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

It's a stress reaction instinct thing if someone reading this didn't know already. Something like "they're not going to survive anyway, better use the resources myself to be able to escape and make more". Many mammals kill their own young when stressed, I theoretize it could be somewhat behind post-partum depression as well since that can create strong feelings about how you have to kill your baby

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 29 points 3 days ago

I admonished a relative's dog for not stopping at a curb while we're walking. My relative asked me "Why do you say that to the dog? Do you think he can understand what you mean?"

I said "No that lecture was more for his owner's sake, that he needs consistent training to not run into the street."

I tell my cat all the time when she's misbehaving that her fur would make a great coat. Then I pet her and give her some kibbles anyway.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 23 points 3 days ago

She has domesticated you well

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

Excellent approach, keeps the fur shiny & increases the amount

[–] Morph9@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago

Probably the same people who force animals to wear ridiculous and uncomfortable clothes or impose to some poor omnivorous pet a vegan diet.
