  • Teetotalers: alcohol vegans.
  • Straight edgers: drug vegans.
  • Recycling: waste vegans.
  • Solar power: power vegans.

The possibilities are infinite if you are a netaphor vegan.

Recycling: waste vegans.

The Germans are probably upset with this comparison

What for a nonsense. Do these other countries not sort their waste or what? Do they not know about efficiency? Next thing you're going to tell me they don't sort their white, green and brown glass separately.

Carnivores: vegetable vegans.

This works so well specially for those people that refuse to touch anything "not cooked" in their plate or that is green.

I love your profile image. I should reread Rice Boy.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

High five, fuck yes. Cool person detected. I think you're the first one to spot it, too.

I wish I had that series in print. Might be time to look into that

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Ooh, print would be amazing. $30 for the softcover, wonder about shipping though...
I have to believe you're underestimating how recognizable TOE is.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It's a hard one to gauge for me. I'm pretty sure I found it via stumbleupon back when that was really great. I read the whole thing in close to one go, and I never hear anyone else talk about it.

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago

stumbleupon, wow... That takes me back.

On this blessed day, we are all truly vegans.

  • Amish: techno vegans
  • Mennonite: techno vegetarians

I interpreted that as techno, as in the genre, for too long.

I keep trying to eat meat but it just won't cooperate!

It’s like taking the last syllable of the name of the hotel and tacking it onto every scandal, because you didn’t understand that it’s part of the name of a hotel, and not some sort of indicator of scandal.

[–] guillem@aussie.zone 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The worst was the Col scandal.

(Sorry. So sorry)

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Please see yourself out

You're hereby invited to /c/vegan, as you appear to be a Northern Hemisphere vegan.

Found an autocorrect vegan!

[–] guillem@aussie.zone 3 points 1 week ago

In my most upvoted comment. I'm hating that typo so much.

[–] Korne127@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I mean "Straight edgers" is on the same level already
