There are a lot of vegans and vegetarians who don't make it their raison d'etre, so I'm sure there have been some who climbed Everest in the past, even if we don't know about it.

I'm my experience it's about a ten to one ratio of people who shit on vegans because they "never shut up about it" vs vegans who actually never shut up about it. So a vegan wanted to show she could climb Mt Everest. She did it, then she died of acute altitude sickness during the descent, something completely unrelated to her diet. Her husband, also vegan, lived. She became one of hundreds of people who have died in that climb, all of whom wanted to prove they could do it. Just let people live their life how they want to. Heaping scorn on someone who died trying to prove themselves isn't cool.

There is no way they were the first vegans in 2016. There have been 100+ ascents per year for decades, should have been around 6000 in total as of 2016.

Considering the mountain is in a part of the world where significant parts of the population are de-facto vegans without identifying as such, I highly doubt that no one among the 6k people before them was living on a plant based diet

we shouldn’t make fun of people dying just because they’re vegan. That’s tastelsss.

that joke is 1000 more annoying then vegans atp 🫩

I don't understand the people that make fun of vegans because they "don't stop talking about it" and then don't stop talking about how they hate AI and would never use it. You guys are AI vegans, you should understand the passion

edit: before dumbs come at me, I'm not at all supporting AI I'm just comparing the passion os subjects

This is so old that you're just making fun of vegans.

haha she was a vegan, exceptional content, true comedy. Will they ever shut up about being vegan? haha I'm so funny

If this is the same story I'm thinking of, she and her partner wanted to be the first vegans to climb to the top, to show the world that vegans can do it. Coincidentally, another vegan actually did it like 1-2 days before their attempt.

Thank god she wasn't also an atheist and a lawyer or we'd never get a word in!

I used to own an ice cream shop, and we had vegan ice cream, and a pretty good following for it. I got so I could recognize them as they were walking from their car.

One quiet day, I saw this older couple start getting out of their car, and I said to my assistant "They're vegan." She asked how I knew, and I said "Just look at them, they're obviously vegan." She said "But they're so old." "You'll see," I said.

They walked in, and the first thing the old guy said was "We hear you have vegan ice cream, we're vegans!" and I could sense my assistant's head swivel to look at me in my peripheral vision.

As I made his ice cream, he went on to tell me how his wife makes vegan steaks so good, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Yes, I could.

I normally am annoyed by shitting on vegans but somehow this one was perfect and actually made me laugh

Not vegan, but hate the idea that they're made fun of for trying to spread awareness. I'm not including the militant vegans here. They do more damage than they fix.

I'm sure some people do it from a high horse but vegans are far from the only type of people that do that. And the message is absolutely important, besides the cruelty part, eating animals is a huge part of the climate change problem.

ive seen more people complain about vegans than i have met vegans. the vegans i have met are usually chill, unless its on the internet specifically.

anti-veganism seems like a touch grass moment imo

bro vegans are so dumb they're depriving themselves of key nutrients and become weak and constantly tired.

that's wrong, let me prove it to you by climbing the fucking everest

bro vegans are so annoying and why won't they shut the fuck up about it

the carnist intellectuals have come out in force I see

Eww, sourced from rooshvforum.com

This seems like the data from McDonalds Lobby coorperations.

This had a whiff of being an Onion headline that has been republished elsewhere (it happens). But no, looked into it, she died in 2016.

Worst vacation ever

No matter my diet, I'm not so sure I'd survive that either. Anyone who's been up there and found it easy can have a laugh though

Yeah, these vegans are pussies.
