When I left my old workplace my colleagues organized a good-bye meal together. Standard office job, with regular guys. We had a great relationship and they knew I was vegetarian for 5+ years at that point and never had any issue with it.

So they asked which restaurant I would like to go and I was stupid enough to let them choose.

We ended up in a specialized Brazilian meat restaurant, where the servers go around with absurdly large pieces of grilled/fryed meats and would carve a piece to the guests. If you are a meat lover you can have easily 10-15 types of meats in a couple of hours.

Those assholes had a huge grin on their faces all evening, as I could only eat the sides from the buffet and had to refuse all meals from the servers about 12 time that evening. It was a truly memorable night, we even got drunk and laughed our asses off on our way home.

So yeah, not just kids can be assholes. We are still in contact till this day.

That's pretty fucked up. I love Texas de Brazil but I wouldn't bring a vegetarian friend there to watch me hurt myself on all you can eat meat.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

While celebrating them, no less

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Neurotypical here, i just find it funny without context. Its just a joke if its not malicious. The thing is, theres a line between funny nicknames and namecalling but sadly school kids often overstep it. Thats why school should teach them that its not okay. For example with my past waterpolo team it was a kind of "friendship language". My nickname was bird or angrybird but we had all kinds of things like: microwave, hamburger, etc(all in hungarian tho because im from hungary) .

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I wish we used Magyar nicknames in our American locker room. I was big delicious but I don't know what that'd be in Hungarian.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 hours ago

Id say "nagy és finom" or "a nagy finom" are the best translations i can come up with.

[–] kindenough@kbin.earth 80 points 6 hours ago (6 children)

Heheh, this shitpost triggers me.

My mom was forcing us a macrobiotic diet back in the day. We were strictly vegan, although fish is allowed in that diet, some vegetables like patatoes and tomatoes are not. Hardcore vegans…

My school lunch was mostly sushi with a filling of fermented prune called umeboshi, or tempeh and seaweeds, pumpkin or rice balls and sesame seeds. We were underfed, yellow flaky skin because of the overdose of carotene and you see everyone around you in school eating candy, fries, meat and what not while also taking the piss at you for being different and stinking of that diet.

At dinner I use to bury my Iziki seaweed in the plant pot because I just couldn't swallow that shit without gagging. If I did not behave mom would go…”you're behaviour is to yang, next two weeks on a yin diet”. Disgusting.

By the age of 12, me and my sister got into stealing money from our parents real quick to buy normal or fast food, annoying the guy at the snackbar on wheels for free fries, shoplifting and shit. Yeah, good times.

[–] nichtburningturtle@feddit.org 22 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Why the forbidden potatoes and tomatoes?

[–] kindenough@kbin.earth 25 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Everything in the genetic family of nightshade. Solanaceae.

“Fruits including tomatoes, tomatillos, eggplant/aubergine, bell peppers and chili peppers, all of which are closely related members of the Solanaceae.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solanaceae

All the delicious plant based stuff snuffed out in a macrobiotic diet.

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 21 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

The nightshade family is in like half of what humans even eat that's ridiculous

[–] kindenough@kbin.earth 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Well it is a spiritual journey, you don’t need to sin on food.

[–] Kallioapina@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 hours ago

What was the so called spiritual part of abstaining from these, or in in general, on this whole thing? No need to answer if you dont feel like it or whatever, just thank you for your insights.

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

It is now, but it wasn't until the Columbian Exchange. Eggplant is the only edible nightshade variety from the eastern continents, the rest being native to South and Central America.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 3 points 5 hours ago

Holy shit bro, that’s crazy!

[–] Lord743@lemmy.world 39 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

that's why i hate religious restrictions

[–] kindenough@kbin.earth 32 points 5 hours ago

Yes I agree.

Not only the diet, but the whole cult around it. Faith healers, homeopathy, people chewing on brown riceballs for an hour counting how many chews they had so they can show off how far they are on their macrobiotic spiritual journey. “You gotta chew your seaweed at least a 100 times”. These mf’s should not be around kids or have any (yes I would not exist). I am not on speaking terms and won't open the door for my parents, get fucked.

[–] kindenough@kbin.earth 30 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Oh, and this is not a rant against vegans, everyone is welcome at my house, if you are good anybody. I even have pots and pans that never touched meat. I will serve you any grilled vegetables, beans, salads and vinaigrettes, pesto's and bread, or baked patatoes and what not. I used to cook vegan for the homeless here in Amsterdam when I was mostly homeless and squatting myself in what we call squatting cafe’s.

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago

You are living up to, and by my estimation exceeding, your username. Sorry to hear you had a rough childhood. Glad to hear that things are better - you sound like an awesome host.

[–] Shapillon@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

Having separate cookware is really considerate n_n

[–] _____@lemm.ee 13 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I have no words, I'm sure you've heard it all. Thanks for sharing this story and sorry for your childhood. Hope you're healing.

[–] kindenough@kbin.earth 4 points 2 hours ago

Thank you for caring, that is better than anything spoken.

[–] TheLorax@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I'm curious why fish was allowed and why tomatoes weren't, do you know what their reasoning was?

[–] kindenough@kbin.earth 3 points 2 hours ago

Beats me, maybe a land animal was more scentient than anything out of the sea. There are vegetarians having no problem eating fish.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (2 children)

Hmm, does it count if the animal (human, in this case) could be omnivorous, but chooses not to be for whatever reason?

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 hours ago

That's how I see it. I'm a vegetarian omnivore, if my life depended on it I would eat meat.

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Herbivores can be carnivorous. I've seen plenty of videos of horses and cows cromching on baby chickens.

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 2 points 16 minutes ago* (last edited 16 minutes ago)

And carnivores can be herbivorous. Dogs can be vegetarian no problem, and a while back humans solved the synthetic taurine problem for cats. Turns out all animals are omnivores. Herbivores and carnivores are fake.

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 25 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I wish I was compared to a cow. People usually tell me I resemble a jackass.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

They’re also herbivores…

[–] archiduc@lemmy.world 14 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

A 12 year old drew a recognizable picture of another 12 year old? Doubt it.

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 12 points 2 hours ago

You just pick something obvious and over elaborate on it. Big glasses, bright blue hat, etc also kids are mean, so pick a flaw, same idea.

Not like this would be any better in private schools tho...

[–] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 7 points 5 hours ago

would this text land differently if "public school" were replaced with "school"? 🤔
