Fair enough. Turns out while every single news article reporting on the plant scream study talks about it as “pain”, the scientists themselves made no such claims. Merely calling it “stress” in plants.
Thank you for giving me a reasonable response that made me look into it further and educated me - the way I feel like would have been beneficial initially instead of what actually happened in that vegan group.
It’s really the amazing, wholesome community of people that makes it special. And just because it happened to start on Reddit doesn’t mean it’ll necessarily stay there. For now I’m still on both and I’ll keep on suggesting Lemmy to Reddit users until my account gets blocked for it, lol.
Not sure. I am part of the new wave 👋so we will see.
can’t wait for all of the Reddit witches <3
Considering the recent changes it would be so lovely if a coven ended up forming here too. The subreddit is one of my favorite places on the internet, but I doubt it will survive the recent sitewide changes for long with the timing of the new rule and how left-leaning the sub is.
I got banned from a vegan group once because I responded to a person talking about how “non-vegans must be sociopaths to not care about all the suffering of animals as they scream in pain” or something like that. I responded with a link to a study that plants do in fact scream when being injured. We just can’t hear it. Apparently they didn’t like that, lol.
Edit to add: I didn’t just respond with a link. But something like “As much as I appreciate veganism I am not sure what to tell you. Because if avoiding screaming and suffering in your food source is the reason you became vegan I do have some bad news <link>”
