It's called polyphasic sleep and yeh, we used to do it (more commonly) before street lights were a thing. It's still a thing a lot of people do, siesta being a common example

You can only comment here under the guise of good faith for so long. You're trying to bait a certain response so that you can "prove" a point and put words in other people's mouths.

Like naeva said comments by nonvegans are allowed. The rule doesn't explicitly preclude anyone who isn't vegan from engaging in conversation. What it does not allow is for bad faith comments, strawmen arguments (carnist rhetoric and the like), and those that are hostile to vegans (antivegans) to come here and as the OP would put it "meatsplain".

I remove comments that are advocating for animal abuse, carnist propaganda, speciesism, and those made by antivegans.

Discussions about veganism here are heavily skewed as vegans are outnumbered vastly and it tends to be a sensitive topic due to cognitive dissonance. This makes it so that actual discussion is very hard as it often gets overun by reactionary takes and hostility to empathy.

Pinning posts has not helped in the past as most people don't read it or refuse to listen to the message before commenting here.

It should be called the Victorian Biohazard Bill, but it just doesn't portray us as biosecurity terrorists as much

It's protected in the UK

It protects all religions and a wide range of philosophical beliefs including atheism, humanism, agnosticism, veganism and pacifism.

Alt text for image:

A screenshot of a post by a user "Brusswole Sprouts" with the handle "@swolesprouts". The post reads as follows:

I've been vegan for over 10 years and I still don't understand why it's acceptable to make fun of vegans in social settings while you would never make fun of someone eating halal or not drinking for religious or cultural reasons.

Why is vegan culture less deserving of your respect?

Pictures of text should have accompanying alt text. I'll see if we can add that as a rule
