While I am pretty ignorant on Vietnamese culture I don't think they bow like the Japanese

Lots of interesting points at various levels of the comments.

I'd like to offer the idea of, just because we can and have eaten meat as a species, should we continue to?

Why not try something different?

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

If we are going to try something different, how about start by cutting the religious bit? Easier to worry about the people and animals and ecological present without all the wild focus on necrodestination.

Went to war and only killed one dude?

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 week ago (4 children)

For a Vietnam vet, statistically it was more likely to be his CO than an enemy combatant

The average soldier kill rate (of other soldiers) can't exceed 1; if one side does really well with a high average, the other side necessarily did poorly.

[–] festus@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Put it another way - imagine a super bloody war with 1 million soldiers who all killed each other. You have 1 million kills, divided by the 1 million soldiers, creating a 1.0 soldier kill rate.

If any soldiers survived, the rate drops. Obviously you can get a number above 1 if you place civilian deaths in the numerator but not denominator; but in the "ideal" war where civilians are safe it can't exceed 1.

Thats not unusual i would think. If you get injured in your first encounter then thats a pretty likely outcome.

Seeing this is going with the Christian idea of heaven, you'll have to use Christian beliefs.

Acts 10:9-16.

9 About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray. 10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. 11 He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. 12 It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles and birds. 13 Then a voice told him, β€œGet up, Peter. Kill and eat.”

14 β€œSurely not, Lord!” Peter replied. β€œI have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”

15 The voice spoke to him a second time, β€œDo not call anything impure that God has made clean.”

16 This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven.

There are many problems associated with being alive. This is one of them. But it annoys me that vegans seem bent on proselytizing their viewpoint. It always seems self serving to me.

Were they a butcher?

Taking out those animals lives by themselves is different from using their flesh as product. They are further down the line.

Because otherwise a worm eating my shit would also "contribute" to the death of those animals I've eaten. The shit wouldn't have existed.

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago (7 children)

Was the butcher going to kill all of those animals if there was nobody to buy them?

A worm does not directly order you to eat food and pay you for the benefit of your refuse.

This line of thinking would make terrible lawyers..

Your honour, my client only ordered the hit, and is therefore not guilty of the crime of first degree murder; it was the hitman - by his own confession. I declare mistrial by further down the linedness and award myself a million bucks.

Seems to be a take on The Five People You Meet In Heaven.

In the book, a man named Eddie dies and is sent to Heaven. However, he must first meet five people whose lives were completely altered by him.

The first person the protagonist meets was a man who was turned blue due to silver nitrate. When Eddie was a child, he ran into the road chasing a ball. The man was driving a car and swerved to avoid him. While there was no accident, it caused the man to suffer a heart attack and die.

The point was to show that there is no such thing as coincidence and that your actions can indirectly have an effect on others, even people you never have met.

I was gonna say, my guy Joe worked at an exotic slaughterhouse.

Really brings a different context to the first dude that showed up.

~~Ok, but do I wish to do this.~~

Edit, typo:

Ok, but I do wish to do this.

[–] the_elder@midwest.social 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I do. It's about dignity, respect, and our place in the universe. There's only so much you can do in life. I just butchered a few more birds last weekend. You always do your best, it's never easy, but if you want to eat meat as ethically as possible it's best to do it yourself. Thank the animal. Give it dignity and respect in death.

These angels are just trying to create a top ranked list so god can see how much of a lead he has on any one person.

If we were visited by aliens who energize through photosynthesis , we’d all be monsters to them. β€œYou fuckers eat animals with a side of plants?!”
