Variation of bone apple tea.

Except bone apple tea is self aware. Good chance bone-petite isn’t.

I'm remembering a paragraph of one of the Witcher books where a vampire is at a fancy ball at a royal court and while eating a garlic soup with his silver spoon he was explaining in great detail to a patron seated near him that vampires are deathly afraid of silver and the slightest touch of silver will immediately kill them

People seem to forget that Muslims are allowed to touch pork products, they're just not allowed to pray after touching them unless they ritualistically purify themselves by washing their hands, mouth, nose, face, forearms, head, ears and feet (the order is different as well as what parts you wash in different schools of thought).

Doing all that is a bit of a kerfuffle so a good number of Muslims just choose to avoid touching anything that could invalidate their purity, but the worst that can happen is they have to wash themselves again before they pray.

Obviously they're not allowed to eat it, but it's nowhere near as bad as racists would have you think where even being in the presence of pork products is enough to make Muslims melt into the floor like the wicked witch.

Some Muslims really are like that. The ones who are, are usually from the more backward countries.

But Islam also says that if you're starving and pork is the only available food, eat the pork.

Alcohol, on the other hand, is a hard no.

Now in my view, I don't see how any religion that forbids carnitas can possibly be divinely inspired.

Even so, I've never met an Islamophobe who isn't a raving asshole, but I've met a number of Muslims who are good people, even if I don't agree with some of their religious prohibitions.

I work with some pretty chill Muslims, and some pretty chill Christians. I don't get why it's so hard for some people to just be respectful.

The best part of living in an area with a lot of Muslims is all the halal burger places that use beef bacon.

bone-petite

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 days ago

same fuckers that loose their shit when I tell them I prefer dog bacon but I'm also kinda sick of it because I just got back from visiting family in china and my family doesn't cook much of the more well known dishes. we just eat wild/kennel dog and wild salad.

then I ask them why they let heir government officials shoot dogs for misbehaving when they haven't even been trained

Speaking like a normal person and not a salesman is probably helping him quite a lot.

I just feel sorry for the Kirk family. They name their kid James, and he ends up a bigot.

we still have 203 years before the real James T Kirk is born. so we're safe

I literally believe an innocent, defenseless, sentient creature was systematicallty and needlessly tortured and murdered to make this and that my tax dollars paid to subsidize it. If this isn't triggering to me, I can't even imagine how fucking stupid this looks to Muslims who think God forbids it. Like should someone fire back a video of themselves disregarding the Sabbath and expect Christians to care?

And isn't pork haram predominantly because it was considered by people like Muhammad to be impure? So this sounds more like someone sending them a video of scraping gum off the underside of a desk and chewing it. You sure owned them.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 68 points 2 days ago (11 children)

It was probably considered impure because pigs have a big parasite issue before industrialization and improper cooking often led to people getting sick or dying.

A lot of religious "rules" can typically be boiled down to trying to keep people alive by making sure they avoid potential dangerous things, increasing their hygiene, or just making life easier and reducing hardships.

It's almost like people in charge realized that it would be easier to get people to do things if it meant going to heaven and avoiding hell instead of jail or something.

guy puts templar cross in his profile, likely first to die of disease and exhaustion if he actually participated in middle age crusades

I love how they automatically assume they would be high ranking knights drinking wine in the tent whereas they would likely be the cannon fodder.

Critical vegan-halal solidarity against cringe meatposturing.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (9 children)

Meat eater here, I also don't like these cringey meat lovers. Worst are the carnivore diet evangelists, they'll call you vegan if you eat any plant based food.
