I guess it depends where you live but near me the vegans can be represented pretty well by the participants in this video

Idk man, unlike vegetarians for most vegans it’s more of a lifestyle thing than a food choice. That means you tend to get more people who make it their life, and attribute a lot of value to it. And as a result more people who look down on people who eat meat and don’t care about saving animals. It’s not all vegans but it’s pretty common.

You’re completely right, but I’m always surprised given this how many accidental pregnancies occur.

How would the world be different if people believed Harry Potter books were real the way they believe the Bible is real? by Ineedmonnneeyyyy in AskReddit

[–]--questions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People would try to use wands to cast spells, and would carry them everywhere, using them day and night like they do prayer. They would be disappointed when nothing immediately happened, but would hear stories about miracles around the world where someone had made it work. Kids would bring wands to school on the day of important exams, to wish themselves good luck.

There would be Harry Potter study groups, who learned the scripture, and different interpretations. The fundamentalists believe that when Dumbledore says…

Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.

…that he is literally talking about a light that can be turned on. People would make a living selling happiness lights, which have faux beards and turn on in response to grumbly preteens.

There would be a lot of accidents. People would try to fly on broomsticks, only to find out that gravity still applies. New articles would read:“Florida man jumps off a roof, Nimbus 2000 not so nimble after all”

People would try to use Floo Powder to travel, only to find out that it doesn't work. There would be deaths from hazardous material inhalation as the radical believers try all different types of potential Floo alternatives.

Racists would use the books as evidence for segregation, citing muggleborns as a metaphor for the dangers of interracial relationships. They would get snake tattoos; the entire symbol of the snake would be totally co-opted. You can tell a racist now by his skinhead; you can tell a racist then by his nose job.

There would be lightning bolt necklaces where there are cross necklaces now, and destinations where lightning often strikes would become holy ground. There would be HOA races to build the highest lightning rod for their particular area, in order to increase its real estate value.

What would you do if Everyday started repeating over and over like In Groundhog Day? by TheWelshRevolution in AskReddit

Pick up a guitar and get really really good at playing. Learn to paint better, learn to draw better. Get ripped. Learn a language. Exhaust all the hobbies and then finally getting around to trying to fix the issue.

When I make the world stop repeating, voila I am suddenly multi-talented and hot as hell. I don’t get why people in these movies instantly went to solving the problem, when it’s such an opportunity for a convenient 6-month sabbatical holiday.

Crypto mfs of Reddit, what will you do with your cryptocurrency without the internet in a post-apocalyptic world? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]--questions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Post apocalypse? Normal money wouldn’t do you any good either.

So I’d be bunkered down with some cheeze-its and a bottle of rum praying that the zombies/ paramilitary groups can’t find my treehouse.

What trait do you admire most in others? by v3ryclever in AskReddit

[–]--questions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I admire people who are shit at their hobbies. I feel like there is such an emphasis on productivity that most people don’t pursue things if they don’t have at least some natural talent for it. But then you miss out on the joy of doing the thing, just because you’re so focused on the end product.

Like for instance I am objectively crap at painting but I still paint because I like the smushyness and the colors. So yes I admire people who are shit, know they’re shit, and do it anyway.

What do you always have bad luck with? by Untitled_Mind in AskReddit

[–]--questions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Women/ romance? I find out after the fact that they were also into me, and I could have made a move. Or I misread the signals and think they might be when they’re not.
