As I’ve said in the above comment, hand pollination is not the only alternative. Fixing this problem is a bridge we’ll cross when most people are on board with veganism.

Lower density only means lower production of the usable land remains the same. Which would not be the case if the world became vegan: https://ourworldindata.org/land-use-diets


Thanks for conceding. Now to your new point: once the majority of people are vegan, we can focus on those systems that can be improved. Currently the majority does not even care about animal exploitation, so there’s very little value in trying to change systems that don’t depend on animal exploitation.
Those two counter examples that I provided aren’t all possibilities to replace open pollination. Surely experts in the field can come up with better solutions once this problem actually becomes a worry in the minds of the majority.


Oh honey, I have no idea


Do those crops depend on transportation of pollinators? To me it seems like they don’t.
By your own admission, there are natural pollinators. We can also manually pollinate them, which reinforces my point that systems that *contain* exploitation should be improved.
Males are still killed at 1 day old.
Domesticated chickens were bred to lay about 1 egg a day when their wild counterpart lay about 1 egg per month. That’s a huge toll on their body.
You seem to care and go out of your way to avoid needless suffering. Fortunately it’s easy to stop supporting animal exploitation.


Animal manure as fertilizer in farming. We can use fertilizers that don’t depend on animals to be made.
Cows need to be impregnated by introducing an arm in their anus and holding their cervix so they can introduce a rod with semen in their uterus.
Male cows and chickens are useless to the industry so they usually get killed soon after birth.
Chickens usually are kept in cages the size of an A4 paper, cows also usually are very badly treated in order to be milked. Check out https://3minutes.wtf/ so you can see that even what the industry calls the “best animal treatment” is still very inhumane.


It’s a common viewpoint among vegans that systems that depend on animal exploitation should be abolished. On the other hand, systems that contain animal exploitation should be improved.
I’ll give two examples with human animals so it can be clear: Slavery? Should be abolished. People getting ran over and killed by cars? We should improve that.


I thought that chocolate brand only had vegan dark chocolate, so cool to see that they found a milk substitute! Will try to find that cookies variation on the market.


I prefer to not talk about the direct topic of veganism on the first dates (unless I have to). Most people don’t know what’s veganism and are even scared of the word.
I’d rather know the person first and see if our values align with other questions, like: ‘do you think animals feel pain?’ or ‘what do you think about factory farming?’.
But I gotta tell you, dating vegans is probably much easier. It will be easier to get a consensus on where to go for dinner, it will be easier to go shopping and you won’t get invited to watch dog fighting and these kinds of stuff omnis do.
Still, very easy to miss a post from a small community when you’ve got many other larger subscriptions.
It would be best to try every single one separately, otherwise you’ll have dozens of programs that do the exact same thing, like file explorers.
That said, with Fedora you can list available desktop environments using the default package manager, dnf. In a terminal use the dnf group list command to list all available desktop environments:
dnf group list --available *desktop
Install the required desktop environment using the dnf install command. Ensure to prefix with the @ sign, for example:
dnf install @kde-desktop-environment
After trying the DE, you can remove it with:
dnf remove @kde-desktop-environment
I think we should make every interaction publicly available, until we find a way to actually make it private. As you’ve said, anyone who wants and have the means will see the information anyway.
Vote brigading matters. If you’re subscribed to a ‘controversial’ community and every post gets downvoted to oblivion, you and other subscribers who sort by ‘hot/top’ won’t see the post unless they go directly to the community.
This slowly kills the community, even if its users are active on Lemmy.
The jaguar and anaconda population would increase for a few generations, but it would balance it out after a while.
Why do you think feral chickens are a concern? Most chicken farms in Brazil are much farther from the Amazon, the deforestation land is mostly used to grow soy for animal feed.


Caralho, I am! What about you? I’ve posted a few classics on !veganhomecooks@lemmy.world


I love doing them both ways, whenever I get tired of the smooth texture I use a fork and vice versa.


I’ve made soy tofu a few times, but never tried lentil tofu, is it any good? Making the soy milk is a bit hard for me, especially separating the pulp.
When you see a pic of a child, do you also feel the urge to comment “I like tight pussy. I love sex”?
