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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_who_died_climbing_Mount_Everest?wprov=sfla1) 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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

I normally am annoyed by shitting on vegans but somehow this one was perfect and actually made me laugh

Not vegan, but hate the idea that they're made fun of for trying to spread awareness. I'm not including the militant vegans here. They do more damage than they fix. I'm sure some people do it from a high horse but vegans are far from the only type of people that do that. And the message is absolutely important, besides the cruelty part, eating animals is a huge part of the climate change problem.

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

No matter my diet, I'm not so sure I'd survive that either. Anyone who's been up there and found it easy can have a laugh though

Vegans getting offended at a shitpost? Color me surprised, that doesn't happen on every single post like this. Guess I don't need to check if they sky is still blue. Seriously, just cuz y'all are doing more of the right thing doesn't mean a joke isn't funny. Learn to take a metaphorical punch and clap back rather than immediately going towards crying about shitposts.

>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...

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.
