I found my picture! It wasnt the same writing I remembered but yeah lol

[–] Morph9@lemmy.zip 3 points 7 hours ago

Probably the same people who force animals to wear ridiculous and uncomfortable clothes or impose to some poor omnivorous pet a vegan diet.

I got in trouble on reddit for writing "stupid cats box" and my cat jumped in because they said I was abusing him like whaaaat

HOW CRUEL! I love it lol

He looks like he knows whats written on that box

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 8 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I've always figured most cats wouldn't care even if they knew what you were calling them. As long as they get food and pets, whatever.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 9 points 9 hours ago

It's nothing compared to what they call us, anyways.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 7 points 16 hours ago

HAW DARE YOU!!! IM CALLING OSHA!!!1!1!! 😡😡

I admonished a relative's dog for not stopping at a curb while we're walking. My relative asked me "Why do you say that to the dog? Do you think he can understand what you mean?"

I said "No that lecture was more for his owner's sake, that he needs consistent training to not run into the street."

Reminds me of my ex questioning why I would eat meat in Minecraft since I'm vegetarian

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

L-l-l-lava! Ch-ch-ch-chicken!

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Lmao. Oh no, the pixels in the shape of a ham hock are suffering!

I'm vegetarian but I don't even like playing vegetarian Sims. I mean, it's cool to be included, but I already have to navigate menus to find specific foods IRL. I don't want to have to do it in a game.

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

But your promoting big meats agenda !!!!!

[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 10 points 21 hours ago (5 children)

Is it bad that I actually refuse to eat meat in Minecraft, too.

I don't judge people for eating a few pixels, but personally I don't want to promote animal cruelty, real or not. It also makes for a nice challenge to create a sustainable food source without the ol' lava chicken machine.

Meanwhile, I'm a cannibal in Fallout 76.

And don't get me started on rimworld

[–] Fleur_@aussie.zone 5 points 15 hours ago

I do vegan playthroughs of the games I play

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 12 points 20 hours ago

i eat meat but i think what you're doing is perfectly fine. no different than playing an rpg character who won't kill for moral reasons.

[–] als@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

It's just that bread is a bad food source in Minecraft but steak is very good. That is, until you have enough gold to eat golden carrots, but that usually involves battery farming pigmen. My irl morals don't come into play when playing most games and nowhere is this clearer than my rimworld saves.

[–] Walk_blesseD@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 hours ago

Suspicious stew (saturation) is ethically AOK and is also just the best food item in the game. Too bad it's non-stackable, so I just keep a bowl and a stack of each ingredient in my inventory at all times.

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 3 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Carrots and baked potatoes are an amazing source of food, but you need to find a village to get them

A better source of golden carrots is trading with villagers at the highest level, which dont require you to find a village, but require finding a nether fortress or igloo

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I hope you mean golden carrots because raw carrots are soo annoying

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 1 points 15 hours ago

Raw potatoes are annoying. Raw carrots arent that bad

[–] KombatWombat@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

You can also get carrots and potatoes from zombie drops.

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 2 points 17 hours ago

But they are rare

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

I tend to avoid killing bunnies in games when I can, but when that's all you have to eat, food is food.

[–] parlaptie@feddit.org 2 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

So, do you also avoid leather products in Minecraft? Because that kinda locks you out of progression with enchanting unless you play modded.

[–] mauumauukittycat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

never got the point of leather armour, your gonna hit iron before long anyway, why waist time and resources on leather armour?

[–] Turret3857 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

books need leather which is why enchanting was mentioned. base game enchanting without books is not ideal

ohh forgot about enchantments

[–] Zangoose@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

If your goal is just to avoid killing animals, technically you can get bookshelves from villagers through trading (also just in villages and strongholds themselves).

[–] parlaptie@feddit.org 2 points 7 hours ago

Okay, I thought of that too, but then you're honestly just outsourcing the problem. You don't know how villagers made their books. (Yes, I know, they technically just spawn them in.)

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

Depends on the definition of an animal. I suggest we go with science instead of tradition and include humans.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

pigs in videogames use real electricity

[–] hallettj@leminal.space 9 points 23 hours ago

Hmm, good point. The pig AI requires a lot more computations than wheat or pumpkins which are managed by random tick updates.

I'm a meat eater but had trouble killing those Minecraft sheep

[–] PlexSheep 6 points 22 hours ago

I never do it. Look at my name. First thing I craft with iron is shears.

Oh god, I thought that was an experience unique to me. I found it so stupid that I was sure such a thing could only happen once.

My ex is a vegan, a -final boss- vegan

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Meanwhile I have a full on vegetarian farmstead in Vintage Story, and eat some meat IRL

[–] lath@piefed.social 83 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Rabbits eat their own babies.

[–] FrankFrankson@lemmy.world 103 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Think about all the creative ways they can do that now since they have seen some recipes.

I tell my cat all the time when she's misbehaving that her fur would make a great coat. Then I pet her and give her some kibbles anyway.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 20 points 1 day ago

She has domesticated you well

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Excellent approach, keeps the fur shiny & increases the amount

Dare we mention hasenpfeffer ?
