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.

Fortunately you're healthier when you don't eat dead animals
Ah yes, no concern for a poorly understood disease because its better known effect "doesn't scare me"
Where have we heard this before
I mean there are a lot of problems with corporate agriculture being sidestepped here.
The world would improve greatly if vegan or vegetarian food had better marketing around quick and easy prep time.
Carrot, meet hummus
Pasta, meet jar of tomato sauce.

I know the meals are out there. We just need people to dedicate their time online to astroturfing shared spaces with vege propaganda
I don't know about astroturfing, but there's a ton of resources on quick and cheap vegan meals.
That's why you cook them first...
Are they not dead when you cook them?
Should we be earing and cooking them.while they're still alive?
Not lobster. Mmmmm. Well, shell fish.
My neighbors watched in horror one year when I grilled a lobster alive. They asked in terror : "Did you just put that lobster in the grill alive? I looked at them and said back: Ah yep! You buy them to kill them to eat them.
I just say that to upset the vegans, lol. Love, Live and Eat Meat.
I does not really bother me. I just think it is a shame how much unnecessary suffering there is.
You could easily kill the lobster before putting it on the grill with a knife.
Not sure how putting it on alive changes anything.
Like you are going to stop all the suffering. And kill it with what? A mallet? Oh yea, very humane.
I'm no raging vegan, I regularly enjoy meat of varying kinds, but dude, really?
That honestly sounds like you're inducing suffering for the sake of it, and gleefully so to boot.
That really isn't the flex you seem to think it is.
I was just messing with you, like I can afford lobster, lol!
*yeah. Not yea or nay. It isn't a vote.
I wonder if you would be like this if you'd get bit by this tick.
Real talk: you remember in the ninties when everyone started looking into agriculture in regards to cleanliness and not using sick animals and animal welfare?
After thirty years of ag gag laws and deregulation, that situation may not have improved.
You can eat meat if you want to. I recommend a cooking thermometer.
I'll have well cooked meat occasionally, but I am not just eating marketing. If I eat meat I know it's junk food and that it absolutely has to come to temperature.
Sort of like abstinence education, wrap it up folks you don't want to know where that thing has been.
