Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat

  A Poorer & Nemecek meta-analysis (2008) found that beef uses 20x more land and produces 10-20x more GHG than alternative meat (like impossible meat or classic fake meat at the supermarket). Lean beef is 26g of protein, plant meat is 25g (plant meat does have half the kilokalories)

  I did the research for you! All I ask is that you forever go vegan forever thank you (or maybe just try impossible mince in your spag bol next time, either or)

    I had my first steak this year the other day visiting my only childhood friend. Tbh I’m planning my suicide by the end of the year anyway so I couldn’t care less about y’all remaining on this planet. (living in England and everyone I meet talks about rounding up the immigrants, I have no other home as my hometown has been leveled down, [artillery/drone striked by the russians])

    Spare the animals from cruelty while humans get glassed in Ukraine, Gaza, Iran, Yemen, soon Bosnia again and so many others I can’t even name

      That’s relative privation - appeal to worse problems. It incorrectly assumes that we can or should only care about the current worst suffering and that moral concern is zero sum.

      There’s very little I can do to end the wars in Ukraine, Gaza, Iran etc. But I am directly funding and maintaining the meat industry every time I buy meat.

      Also don’t kill yourself, that’s cringe. Be based, fight on.

        My literal taxes are funding wars and deaths to innocents. You’re preaching veganism to stop suffering for animals, I’m preaching mass suicide for the working class that have no hope for the future. We should leave the billionaires to tend to themselves.

        My target audience is not here, as most people here are educated, “high” earning with some home lab and their biggest stress in life is cows life and latest Linux distro supported on some ARM laptop.

        Meanwhile IRL everyone I meet live lives not worth living, with no free time working multiple jobs, no holidays, no hobbies, no books, no films, no pleasure or joys, No savings, living just to pay rent and maybe an addiction.

        Is it worth living if you only depend on alcohol or opioids? I personally say pass.

      I’m talking about total polution of an item per county (or region) population - counted like kgCO2 / kg produce / person.
