  • Its because they ran into the loudest, most annoying vegans.

    IDK how, maybe different areas have more militant vegans, or maybe they just roll with negative stereotypes and the algorithm bs that lets the worst folks float to the top of their media feeds.

    I’ve actively sought out vegans because they have great advice on dietary restriction resources and as long as you’re respectful of their choices, they’ve been consistently so willing to share.

    And they also really love a good breakfast, in my experience, like the local vegan group has just pages of discussion on good vegan donut resources.




  • Well, its kinda like how dogs can be treated with a lot of cancer drugs people can’t- its largely a matter of longevity and personhood. Just load 'em up with stuff that’ll cause all kinds of crazy side effects in a decade or so, if they’re at least six, even in longer lived breeds. (assuming its a bad form of cancer in the first place)

    Sheep don’t have to worry about the things people have to worry about when they aren’t going to have to use the same body for the better part of a century.
    So yes, they do get sick, but its not regarded as the same level of devastation because its an animal, you can use harsher treatments, and you’re not looking at the same level of magnitude of suffering or life lost.

    We also work a lot harder to keep a lot more physically frail individuals alive whom would otherwise just be dead if they were sheep. For example, I had a doting mother who got me medical attention for my frequent dehydration as a child, and I am now able to advocate for myself when I have those episodes.
    A sheep who couldn’t tolerate something foul on some grass would have likely died as a lamb and have just been a sad statistic before they even developed enough to graze.

    If we had much shorter lifespans, we’d honestly be some pretty rugged creatures. Our stomachs are only .5 less acidic than some carrion birds. More acidic than most carnivores.
    No worries about preserving teeth or joints, eat what you want, its literally Yolo!

    Our brains, vision, bipedalism and weird vomiting thing are pretty damn sensitive though.
    A lot of animals don’t have such a vomit issue. Rats literally can’t vomit, iirc.



  • I mean, I know you’re looking for piracy sources, but the 3D printing sphere is pretty much full of tech hippies.

    This may go against the spirit of this server and all, but if you’re just looking to print for personal use, there’s a very real possibility that you can just ask.

    I’ve hit up a few people before, stating that I wanted to print their STLs for my own personal use and sometimes they said no, but more than half the time, they just let me have it.

    Usually something like:

    “Hey, your project looks really great! I’ve been on a bit of a tight budget lately, but I do have my old printer and some filament lying around- would it be possible to get a copy of your STL files pro bono?
    I would love to get my hands on it, and will definitely post a make to your page!”
    (It definitely helps if you have some quality finished product images, so you’re kinda free advertising for them)

    I don’t make the personal choice to pirate, (and I’m not here to judge) but I figured my kinda approach still may suit your needs.
