I know nothing about paintball, but I feel like there has to be vegan paintballs.

It was just medieval food safety to not eat pork in hot countries. They really need to update their software.

The origin of Abrahamic dietary laws is not certain. There is no obvious benefit in terms of hygiene, also not in ancient times (they long predate “medieval” times). Keep in mind that poultry carries a significant risk of salmonella poisoning.
It has been suggested that the origin might have simply been that pigs are viewed as unclean due to their own diet including carrion. Another speculated reason is that rulers might have wanted to promote poultry due to it being a more economical way of raising livestock.

There was also the result of drawing a sharp line between the in-group and everyone else. If we have strict dietary laws but the people on the other side of the hill don’t share them, then it follows that they’re unspeakable barbarians, and that we should not trade or cooperate with them, let alone intermarry, and indeed, it’s acceptable to kill them and take their stuff, as surely such a barbarous people would do the same to us.

i have a specific unusual food allergy. I always presumed abraham or ishmael or jacob or moses or one of them mythical folk had a food allergy against pigs and said “you know what, if i started a religion about not eating pigs maybe i wouldn’t get the runs every time i went out to eat”

Maybe they just thought pigs are too cute to eat.
deHaga@feddit.uk 9 hours ago
I thought it was due to the parasites, worms?, that pork gets in hot arid countries which is why both the Jews and Muslims don’t eat it

Could also just be an exaggerated case of “ew, poor people food”, since pigs will eat damn near anything.
I guess chickens are similar and take up less space though (plus, eggs). And are arguably easier to transport and defend (a rooster can fuck you up)

Yeah. Religion is well-known for its acceptance of logic 😆
Bullerfar@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
It’s religion, not science. Unfortunately, logic isn’t a requirement.

Someone needs to explain to me why there’s ANY animal product in a paintball in the first place.
new_guy@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
Paintballs are made of gelatin. Gelatin is often just collagen and collagen is basically connective tissue.
kayzeekayzee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 hours ago
Fun fact! This is why E Ink displays use pig products!
edinbruh@feddit.it 5 hours ago
I only did paintball once, and that place didn’t use gelatin balls, I think they were made of a thin bioplastic film (corn stuff) filled with ink

You know they’re not really made of bears, right?
responsible_sith@programming.dev 8 hours ago
So you don’t need them to be hallal if you just don’t get hit.
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
Presumably they need to be able to touch their own balls?

Are they also required to be… green?
RickyRigatoni@piefed.social 9 hours ago
Green is the color of Islam because it is the religion of peas.

Yeah wait, can we not make paintballs with…no animal parts?
Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 hours ago
Pretty sure it’s jist the shell the paint is in that uses animal parts, and glycerine can be made from plants too. 🤷♂️
