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.
Sir, this is a shitpost.
Of course it’s a joke but jokes normalize ideas. I would never attack it but having a discussion about the underlying message is harmless.
I’d like to have the kids menu, please… Err what?
Her husband, also a vegan, did it.
So they have a 50% success rate. Pretty decent.
Is he now eating meat?
Not true. This woman was the first vegetarian to climb this mountain located in Nepal and Tibet.
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.
It’s like right wingers always claiming that gay /trans people are “shoving it down their throat” because they make TV shows for gay people.
Like for one, no they aren’t. And two, that’s interesting phrasing you’ve chosen.
I’m a vegan and I am annoying about it. Like, I’d hope if you sincerely believe in some cause you will be outspoken about it
Just let people live their life how they want to
I’d rather have them not climb the damn mountain though. It’s become a sort of tourist trap -thing (literally), there’s people selling commercial climbings and all. It’s extremely wasteful and them littering the place with all their trash (like extra oxygen tanks) and then with their corpses is disgusting and kind of insulting considering Sagarmatha has some religious significance to locals as well
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.
A true testament to how many people they annoy.
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
Yeah and like half of the climbers I know are vegan or at least vegetarian. There is a huge overlap in those groups.
Also the Sherpas serve oatmeal to the climbers anyways

After her death a vegan among them would have spoken out. Could be that they all tried Yak butter and can’t claim the title anymore.
Half of India is vegan
Vegetarian. They put butter in everything.
Ghee, specifically. Although there are plenty of vegan substitutes
can you support this?
Their statement is probably incorrect. This says that 39% of India’s population is “vegetarian” (with the definition left to the respondent): https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2021/07/08/eight-in-ten-indians-limit-meat-in-their-diets-and-four-in-ten-consider-themselves-vegetarian/
I see claims that 9% of the population is vegan, but can’t find the source of that figure (on brief examination).
Four in ten people in India follow either a vegetarian or a vegan diet, according to data by a Statista Consumer Insights survey. In all other countries polled, the figure is far lower, ranging between just five percent in Mexico and 11 percent in South Africa. In the United States, six percent of respondents said that they were vegetarian and four percent said that they were vegan.
They all died.
we shouldn’t make fun of people dying just because they’re vegan. That’s tastelsss.
I thought vegans liked tasteless?
That’s the joke, man.
I get the joke, but it’s kind of a shitty joke.
“Haha, you’ve decided morals are more important than flavour”
I mean, yeah. It’s an ethical trade-off?
“Haha, you donated $1 to pay for mosquito nets in third world countries. You’ve decided lives are more important than money”
mosquito nets in third world countries
oooohhh…yeah…about those…
turns out the mosquito nets are devastating local fish populations, because people use them to fish, since they get them as a finished product instead of having to knit nets themselves. and starvation being a bigger immediate threat, they prioritize that over malaria.
the nets are also laced with toxic chemicals (against the mosquitoes), which are extremely toxic to fish.
they also have much smaller holes, so they catch the young offspring as well, leading to rapid depletion of stocks.
so, yeah…good idea in theory, but didn’t turn out so great…
It’s a good idea on its own, but the overall issues are more complex and nuanced. Maybe sending some non-toxic fishing nets could help? (Hopefully they’ve thought of this already)
Bro, its a joke. It works too because its clever and subtle. Its meant to make people laugh, not spawn a debate on vegan politics.
I will say, as a vegan, I thought it was a fantastic joke.
Really? Well don’t I have tofu on my face…
I feel like the third panel really captures the essence “I am angry about everything and you’ve shown me something I don’t like, which I guess can exist as long as it hides in the shadows away from my righteous gaze, therefore you are SHOVING it down my THROAT and I am morally justified in attacking those people until they go away”
Reductio ad absurdum
here’s a fun activity: define it
not because I don’t know, but because it’s pretty clear to anyone who’s written a few mathematical proofs that you don’t know
Your names lies, that is… Good :)
You may pass.
i want you to know how happy I am that you bring your snafus to the lemmyverse. /gen

Lol this is great
Chad looks like orange Epstein
Yo why does the “Chad” in this meme look like Jeffrey Epstein?
that joke is 1000 more annoying then vegans atp
I have repurposed it for Trump supporters, who ABSOLUTELY NEVER shut the fuck up about being Trump supporters and also are a genuine menace to others where vegans really are not.

Thank you, and the ‘why’ reply makes it more special
Stop using acronyms… at least establish the acronym first. If your comment is too short to establish the acronym, don’t bother using it.

why
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
I’ve said this before, but “AI vegan” is a pretty odd term. It’d imply that using AI is somehow a default, entrenched, normalised thing. That not using AI is going against the status quo.
This makes as much sense as calling Linux users “Windows vegans”. Go on. Go say that to some Linux user’s face, I’m waiting.
You think “AI” isn’t the default, normalised thing?
People rarely click on links in search anymore, they’re happy to use the AI summary, iPhones have small LLM models on them, people use it to write reports, others use it to read those reports. Companies implement policy to mandate AI usage even if it’s objectively worse.
I used to be pretty happy with the little extracts provided under the links in the search results.
Once upon a time, users were united in their hatred of Windows and Microsoft. We worked together, played together, wrote terrible scripts together. But Apple released the iPod and everything changed. Now they’re just another slimy mega corp, other OSs are ignored and we’ve got to love Linux or love a distro. Can’t we just all just unite in our utter loathing again!?
I consider “AI Vegan” as “AI models trained only on public domain works.”
Huh. Apparently a few of them exist. TIL.
I didnt know that either but it makes sense. I had raised this as an “ethical alternative” in the early days before I knew about the environmental impact.
AI vegan. That’s brilliant.
This is so old that you’re just making fun of vegans.
and…?
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.
Ah, I sincerely hope someone told her during her last dying breaths that she wasn’t the first vegan to climb Mount-Whatever and therefore she didn’t actually need to do it.
I sincerely hope that you won’t get the same amount of cruelty in live that you wish upon others in death.
Please eat some makeup.
You seem ugly on the inside.
Downvotes pair delightfully with the actual negative karma your post is generating for your spirit. Grow the fuck up.
Thank god she wasn’t also an atheist and a lawyer or we’d never get a word in!
She definitely wasn’t an Arch Linux user.
Wanna bet she did CrossFit to prepare?
The true body killer
or a linux user
I find people who keep making cracks like that far more tedious, unoriginal and unpleasant than any of the groups you just listed.
to be fair, an entire industry and infrastructure popped up in everest to make climbing it much easier for a fee.
so pampered tourists can say they conquered the tallest mountain, when the locals were the ones to do most of the work.
meaning climbing the everest isn’t quite the achievement it used to be.
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.
The secret is adding beef to the vegan steak.
Cool, I’ll take mine minus the vegan.
I normally am annoyed by shitting on vegans but somehow this one was perfect and actually made me laugh
Probably because nobody normal took “vegans are weak” thing that seriously.
She died trying to prove the 12 year olds online wrong, and now her death fuels their memes.
It’s the “Completely avoidable tragedy” type of humour.
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
