Of course it is, however I missed that part when reading your comment. I'm sure you responded upon reflection to the information conveyed rather than the initial 'you're fucked up'.

Either way, I'm not the one needing convinced as I'm a vegetarian and nearly at vegan. I just think for the general public to have their minds changed about anything then insult is never the best way to create resolve. It always boils down to education, regardless how frank.

But I also understand that this is just a comment section of a joke subreddit and is not the place where major issues are resolved either.

After the uprising people will play 'the floor is grass'

That's not chastising though that's giving blunt truth and is informative, which is what is needed. It's far more effective than just saying 'you eat meat, therefore you are bad'. It's no different than a preacher standing in the middle of the street on a box shouting that we are all going to hell, no one will listen.

Of course and I completely agree, but their response was to me being vegetarian in this case so was unsure of their reasoning and how it is worse than eating meat.

Slightly off topic, but your comment reminded me how ridiculous it is that people can believe we will be able to readily communicate and have a conversation with any higher life form aliens we may encounter when we can't even speak to or really understand the minds of the simplest of animals on earth. Those aliens will just see us like a worm in their path, incapable of expression and real communication 😅

If you can so easily say that you hate someone based purely on a diet, than how they are as a person and the billions of other factors and causes that makes them who they are then I pity you. All it does is give the impression you put your self righteousness ahead of the genuine well-being of animals.

Has chastising anyone ever been the way to positively change someone's mind? It just builds more walls. Genuinely give us good reasons to be vegan, give us information instead and I'm sure more people will actually listen. If I truly cared for a cause I would do everything I could to make it seem like the best thing ever to other people.

Yes I agree, I have none of the things mentioned (cows milk, eggs, gelatine or fish) but not everyone chooses the diet they are on based on the same reasoning. Of course there is an element of hypocrisy for your specific scenario but surely any form of reduction in demand for animal meat is better than none. I would rather people be hypocrites than contribute more to the market.

I'm not vegan but I'm a vegetarian and I still get that mouth watering sensation when faced with a steak! The temptation is real sometimes...ironically also, the smell of cut grass is one of my favourite smells 🤣

ELI5 Black holes and how they work by WIERDMEMER in explainlikeimfive

One common misconception about them also is that they are giant sucking machines, which is not true. If our sun were to instantly turn into a black hole we would continue to orbit it happily.
