Man you're still missing the whole point of my argument just because I said bugs, huh?
Your brain that starved for real protein? Try meat.
Please rethink this comment. This isn't why we joined Lemmy.

Ah, name calling, the last refuge of bad takes.
If the whole point of your argument is that you're absolved of the bad things you do because there's someone out there doing worse things at a greater scale, then I have addressed it multiple times with the analogy showing that's not how ethics work. You haven't addressed the analogy or shown how it's different.
So tell me why don't you just go around pushing kids over for fun?, there's people out there doing way worse to a lot more kids.
Why shouldn't you just litter and throw your trash in the river?, there are a lot of companies out there dumping way more into that river, your bag of trash is a drop in the bucket.
If you follow this logic of "theres a worse guy out there so my relatively minor transgressions are fine" then you just become a scumbag . Yeah, you're not evil, but society would be a lot better without you.
Man I love how you guys put on the same level 'pushing kids' and eating meat.
And then you call me for having bad takes lmao
It's ok my dude eat your beans, save the planet is thankful for your sacrifice.
I will, I'll also throw my trash in the trashcan, not because the planets going to thank me, but because I care for my environment, I hope you do as well
As for the child thing, I don't see how you can say this or this is less cruel then pushing over children, unless you have no sympathy for animals. If that's the case you shouldn't be around pets, or even kids for that matter, hell just stay away from people in general.
Wow you're such a good little boy I bet you even separate the plastic lid from milk cartons. Your masters must be making so much money off of your free labor. Heck did I say free? You most likely live in an area where you pay to have someone take your sorted recycling so they can sell it for more money.
Also, I'm not concerned by your shock videos because I don't consume inferior quality factory meat.
