I've been vegan for a week now, shits hard - snacks suck but Oreos are on the menu.

[-] Fleur__@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Good job! Snacks do suck, nowadays I usually forego snacks entirely but fruit is always ol reliable for quick and easy.

How do you not snack? What do I do with my hands during my finite spare time?

Futile vegan activism on the internet lmao

Remember to supplement the missing vitamins. I think B12 is the big one, but also about 40% of people can't turn beta carotene into vitamin A (retinol) and need to supplement it. If you run into odd vision problems, try vitamin A - the first sign of a deficiency is night blindness

(Hardly a full diet when one supplement is needed for everyone, and several more for some)

I take a multivitamin just for the hell of it, figure I'll piss out what's not needed and take what is.

It's the specific proteins I'm worried about missing out, though macros weren't a concern when I ate meat so seems silly to care now.

I thought the proteins thing was a myth. If you have a diverse enough diet, you should be fine. Just make sure you’re getting nuts, beans, etc.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
