This is not my native language, I was tying to be funny :)

Lab grown meat is not getting better nor cheaper since a decade, it's still an ungodly block of stem cells. This is not a political statement, I don't care if people eat lab grown, but it's not there yet and to me, it's off-putting and unnecessary.
Give plant based alternatives a try, there is already a huge variety that differs in taste and texture. Some are okay, some are great. At the moment, capitalism is stuffing it's pockets with vegan meat money but this stuff is super cheap and easy to make and prices will fall if production numbers go up and there's even more competition. So no need wait! Choose the food that reduces land use, water pollution and co2 emissions by at least 60%.

Yeah, this is just a vegan meme, no scientific theses. Gorillas sometimes eat a bug or two, and they have been seen eating small animals, but it's not their usual diet. Look it up, they eat up to 30 kg of plant stuff per day, including leaves, stems, bark, flowers and fruits. That's petty impressive.

Us humans are opportunistic animals as well, which has led to us destroying our global habitat. So we need to change or society will collapse in the not so distant future. There are a lot of things we need to address to survive the next century. The way we eat is one of them. And it's the easiest, because you don't have to get off your ass and protest, you don't have to buy an expensive EV, you just change a habit and stop buying the destructive food next time your shop at the supermarket. You choose the food that saves ⅔ land use, waterpollution and co2-emissions. That's my point.

Your source:

In addition to consuming a lot of plant matter, gorillas occasionally consume insects. Gorillas are not considered carnivores in the wild, despite the fact that they may consume meat when it is served to them in zoos. Although officially omnivores, gorillas primarily consume plants, including leaves, stems, bark, flowers, and fruits. They occasionally consume tiny vertebrates and insects as well.

If all of humanity started to "occasionally consume tiny vertebrates and insects" while "primarily consuming plants" by tomorrow, which we could, we'd be way better off. Do you agree?

Please fact check before posting, this is scientificaly inaccurate. Yeah they might eat a bug or two, but gorillas normally don't eat other mammals.

Quitting meat will lead to a little less suffering, destruction and exploitation. It costs you just some self-reflection and a change of habit. But Uriel238, obviously a fellow leftist, refuses this. He wants others to change first. But they, as you said, also will not. Prisoners dilemma, crab mentality.

So be the change, Uriel238! You are against suffering, slavery and destruction of our resources? Against the greedy elite who brutaly and recklessly exploit the weak instead of protecting them? (See what I did there?)
Stop paying for dead animal parts next time you're shopping at the supermarket! It feels really good to not take part in this evil system of misery and annihilation.
I know veganism is not the only solution, but no solution will ever be enough without it. Plus it's the easiest Fuck You to the ruling class, while we wait for a revolution.

Well ...

"Hey guys, check it out. I jus came up with this HILARIOUS owl-meme!"

Wow, I asked for the bullshit and you seriously delivered! Not sure if I should take the time to reply to this, because would it even matter?
One thing, though: Everything you eat is vegan, except for the animal tissue, the milk-stuff and eggs. We don't need capitalism to invest in more vegan meat alternatives, we fight it by eating plant based! No junk, just delicious fruits, nuts, legumes and vegetables, like we always did. It's cheap, great for your body and for our suffering planet as well!
Omnivores? We were lucky apes who found out that fire kills enough parasites and bacteria that live in meat. Dogs are the real omnivores, pigs are, too. They eat a rotting squirrel if the feel like it! We die if our bleach-cleaned chicken filet wasn't in the freezer for a couple of hours.
Do you know what elephants and hippos eat all day ... damn, I just started replying.

Let the Bullshit Bingo begin!

I have been buying second hand Pixels 4a's for my family. To me, they're the perfect phones. I put LineageOS with MicroG on them and use them without Google. I logged in my throwaway Google account to check if some of the IMEI qualify for a battery swap, but it gives me an error when I enter any IMEI.
Do you guys have an idea why this might happen? I'd love to get new batteries for free in them and use them another 6 years or so.

I also get very alienated by the “diversity” and “feminism“ modern Hollywood & Netflix cinema. It’s the same type of diversity and feminism that exists in corporate, where there is diversity in terms of ethnicity and sexuality, but only within class.

Are you talking about Rainbow Capitalism?

Wait, rainbow capitalism wasn't sincere?
I left the Amazon ecosystem a couple of years ago because fuck Bezos and it wasn't a big deal, really. Accumulating stuff is a mindset I could reason myself out of. I call it the power of No, thank you. I buy mostly second hand now and it's so calming. Saves me money as well.

Ah sorry, I edited this out before I read your comment. I get what you are saying, but insults solve no problem. People will just feel insulted and hurt you back, pushing society further apart. Maybe we need to talk more about what we fear. And this might work better if you talk to your family than some random.

In theory, it would be much better to keep debating calmly without personal attacks. Giving up on friends and relatives will keep polarizing society and lead to a civil war in the end. I know this is difficult, when there is no common ground, and neither facts not science exist anymore.

We need a reliable source for clips like this. It could easily be AI. Of course I'd like it to be real but I don't want to take part in the disinformation epidemic.

"Die Ereignisse von 1933 bis 1945 hätten spätestens 1928 bekämpft werden müssen. Später war es zu spät. Man darf nicht warten bis der Freiheitskampf Landesverrat genannt wird. Man darf nicht warten, bis aus dem Schneeball eine Lawine geworden ist. Man muss den rollenden Schneeball zertreten. Die Lawine hält keiner mehr auf. Sie ruht erst, wenn sie alles unter sich begraben hat."
~ Erich Kästner, 1958
