"I've been sober all day." is my new comeback when someone insults my intelligence in an argument.

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

I like how the wording may imply that being sober that particular day might be in contrast to other days.

Transcribing the conversation here:

Recessa, ↑4 ↓1: That's completely idiotic, milk exist because there's demand for it.

commie, ↑1 ↓4: I think you understand that milk is produced as part of the mammalian reproductive cycle. can you describe the causal steps between demanding milk and it's production?

friendlymessage, ↑3 ↓2: Do you think dairy cattle just randomly spawns on the planetary surface?

commie, ↑1 ↓3: do you think there's a direct causal link between drinking milk and more being produced?

friendlymessage, ↑3: Are you fucking with me?

commie, ↑2 ↓3: no. I'm trying to illustrate that markets are not governed by natural law; they are populated by irrational actors.

friendlymessage, ↑2 ↓1: Yeah, but they're not as irrational as you are and producing milk costs money. If there's no market, they will stop because they are not fuckin lunatics and they don't have infinite resources

commie, ↑2 ↓2: milk was farmed before markets existed. there is no reason to believe that will ever stop.

friendlymessage, ↑3 ↓1: That... must be the dumbest discussion I've had in a while. Please read through your comments tomorrow when you're sober

commie, ↑1 ↓1: I've been sober all day.

friendlymessage, ↑1: Okay, whatever you say

commie, ↑1 ↓2: everything I've said is true. you're objecting to reality, and being pretty shitty about it to me.

friendlymessage, ↑2: No, you're just making a no sensical argument at all. Milk was farmed from dairy cattle because it was consumed by humans. It's simple supply and demand. There is no rational argument at all that if mankind stopped consuming milk, it would still be farmed. Why would any farmer go through the effort to upkeep cows and keep them impregnanted to make them produce milk if they cannot trade it or won't consume it? Yes, humans have free will but they won't produce stuff with very high effort just for fun. Except maybe very sick minds that just enjoy animal cruelty. And you won't elaborate what your actual point is anyway.

Also, not that it matters, but you're arguing that dairy farming existed before the market is simply wrong. There has been trade between human civilizations long before we started domesticating animals.

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 21 points 6 days ago (3 children)

There's a common misunderstanding among a lot of .ml folks that markets are a capitalist thing and if you just don't call them that then they don't exist.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Obviously nobody drank milk in the USSR shitlib

[–] Justas@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

My paternal grandmother, who claimed to milk 200 cows per day every day, would disagree.

Ah yeah, I've had an interaction with that anti-vegan user before, and let me tell ya, if you want to speedrun vegan bingo... ideal discussion partner right there.

[–] TheTetrapod@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

politely raises hand

While I think factory farming is abhorrent, I find the most compelling reasons to eat plant-based to be the environmental ones. Therefore, I think "I only eat a little bit of meat" is actually a huge positive step someone can take. If your primary concern regarding meat is the cruelty of taking the life of another animal, that's completely valid, but compared to the others, that square just feels out of place.

[–] nl4real@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago (4 children)

The "Vegans are loud and annoying" crowd are more loud and annoying than actual vegans in my personal experience.

[–] Moc@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Often when society had an extreme default position on a topic, its defenders sound batshit insane.

See:

  • Gay and trans rights
  • Reproductive rights
  • Veganism
  • Unregulated capitalism
  • Homelessness

The happy animals one is hilarious. I would have no problem with someone eating me after I died and I sure as shit am not happy

[–] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 23 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Ah yes. That one is the one where every interlocutor happens to only eat meat "from their uncles farm with 3 cows on 40 acres of pasture, where they're hand-scrubbed by cherubs while eating figs."

[–] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 22 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Aw man I fucked that up. My uncle has 40 cows on 3 acres that get hand scrubbed by figs while eating cherubs.

I don't care about my corpse after I'm dead, but I do somewhat disagree with getting killed.

It took me a whole 24 hours to realise that the person having a weird, inconsistent, fact-swerving argument with me (about my assertion that most male cattle are killed young for meat) was the original one from the screenshot!

this is 1/100th of the insanity that happened on the reddit sub r/milk
I'm pretty sure there was a riot because the mods said almond milk was allowed or something like that

Both of those people are morons. One for making the argument, the other for engaging in the argument.

Just went back to that thread. The discussion continued for 4 more hours after I stopped responding, and no, it did not go anywhere. That was definitely worth everyone's time

Reading that kinda hurts my brain

What's the causal link between that comment being created and your brain hurting? Brains have hurt since before comment sections existed.

No you don’t; that’s not possible. You don’t actually know what you like. How could your brain evaluate its own desires? And if you think you do, you’re wrong.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
