The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

Mine is a little non standard. There was a redditor who claimed to be a Texan piano teacher that wanted to eat people. I got into an ethics debate with them, and I was forced to either cede their position was more logically consistent than mine or that eating animals was not OK.

I've always wondered if they were a vegan activist with an unusual tactic or they really did want to eat people.

I can't tell if this is hilarious or genius. I guess both! But im glad it worked!

I was definitely considering if I had an obligation to report them to the Texas police, but they did say they were in active psch treatment and receiving therapy. Looking back it is kinda funny, but it also seemed quite serious at the time!
