If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.

Fallacy

A (potentially) thinking or feeling plant has to be killed in order to eat it just like an animal has to be killed, and there's no difference between the two.

Did you not read what I wrote? I made it very clear that there were a lot of differences.

And the fun part is that you're the second person to tell me that I was trying to justify eating meat when, again, the first four words of my post are "I don't eat meat." I couldn't have been more clear on that point.

no dude its about the resources, like you claim that plants can feel pain or something stupid like that, read up on it.

Also

But I will still have to admit that at the end of the day, I might just be choosing to cause a different kingdom of life pain and suffering because it's far enough away from my species that I don't consider that to be pain and suffering.

sure sounds like think the "pain and suffering" of the two "kingdoms of life" might be equal.

You still seem to think I'm justifying eating meat when I still don't eat meat.

I dont, I think youre just trying to make up some weird philosophical debate because you like to debate.

I wasn't trying to make up any sort of debate. You are the one trying to debate here. And you're not doing it very well either.

[–] mathemachristian@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Oh man how do we even define emotion, like what does it mean for something to be in pain, where do we even draw the line dude at sentience or at pain, what a quandary this all is

is what I got from your post. And its easily answered by "plants dont feel pain".

“plants dont feel pain”.

you can't prove that.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

What you got from my post and what I actually said have already been established to be very distant from one another.

And, again, I am not the one trying to debate anything here despite you accusing me of it.
