Today I Learned
What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

It certainly would. It's not a meat allergy, it's an alpha-galactose allergy. Alpha-gal is present in all foods and ingredients made from beef, pork, lamb, venison, rabbit, and other mammal sources, including gelatin and milk. Certain seaweeds also contain alpha-gal, along with most Vegan product alternatives. Alpha-gal is found worldwide among the inactive ingredients and materials of medications and healthcare products, and it is generally not required to be labelled.
Based on the snarky tone, I have to assume you're one of the vocal vegans that people hate because of the superiority complex that exudes from even simple comments like this. You should probably do a basic amount of research before commenting and proving you haven't done any.
My thoughts exactly
They're either an obnoxious vegan or 13 years old.
On lemmy? Lmaooo
Not even Lemmy, just Earth
You read the parent comment as completely serious and used it to rail against an assumed or imagined vegan boogeyman. Sounds tongue in cheek to me. I'm still waiting to see this "obnoxious vegan" everyone's talking about. I know they exist, but all I see are angry meat eaters complaining about them
Go ahead and take a look at the vegan communities around the fediverse, don't even need to go to the Reddit cesspool, they come along with everyone else... and let me know if they look like they're not serious about that type of thing.
Holy hell, another one? I just found one of these creatures yesterday. My comments still reek of the responses to them.
What a wild way to interact with people... have a nice day
e: i read this as calling me a creature. after reading some of your comments i think i missed
No no, not you.

That's some pretty terrible assumption skills you got there, mate. I've seen stormtroopers with better precision than you.
My assumption skills? You seem to have completely missed the point the scenes in Star Wars, despite there being quite a bit of evidence against that belief. Some people just want to believe misinformation when it reinforces what they want to believe, especially if it's funny or seems to mean there's a plot hole or error in a film. Star Wars has plenty of those... Stormtrooper aim isn't one of them.
Grand Moff Tarkin and Darth Vader have a scene discussing letting them escape, because they planted a homing beacon on the Millenium Falcon. The Stormtroopers are avoiding hitting them specifically so the Millenium Falcon can escape and the Empire can follow it back to the Rebel base. Tarkin literally says he's taking a risk, so he clearly instructed them to let the prisoners escape.

And that doesn't even take into account several other comments from people through the films about Stormtrooper aim, including from Obi Wan who obviously was a General in the Republic Army and ostensibly knows what he's talking about, and ignoring several scenes across the movies and shows where the Stormtroopers do fire accurately.
I apologize for that. I made use of a unfair stereotype to make a cheap joke. Stormtroopers are capable, well trained military service men and women.
