A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

No, it wasn't. Empirical data was fabricated. There was never evidence to support those claims, which is why we no longer believe them.
I'm not, I'm basing decisions on evidence. Fuck you for projecting your idiocy onto me.
Which includes eating meat instead of plants. But I personally do it because we know animals feel fear and pain, and we do not know that about plants.
Why are you fighting in favor of needless slaughter? Fucking psychopaths here.
you seem to be in an emotional hysteria right now. so it's natural that someone would think that you're basing all your information on emotional triggers because you are arguing in an unstable emotional state.
go outside and touch grass, you need the downtime.
we'll all be here waiting for you to call us names again once you've calmed down.
Not if they know how to read. Evidence guides my choices, and then I get emotional because dumbfucks reject evidence so they can continue causing harm without guilt.
You should be angry, too.
why would I be angry?
I eat meat and veg. you eat only veg. we both live completely different lives with completely different requirements and completely different perspectives.
in my perspective, I eat meat because I eat meat not sure why that's something to get so emotional about and call me a psychopath.
are you angry because you're hungry?
I'm angry because you choose needless death and suffering, dipshit.

Maybe you feel safer with YouTube, but you'll have to log in due to the nature of the lyrics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7dWyYeOBkg
