    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 really don’t get it why the people want to control what other people it? Eat whatever the fuck you want.

      I can think of a few reasons like ecological decline, climate change, antibiotic resistance, pandemics and public health.

      Maybe control isn’t the right word though

    This had a whiff of being an Onion headline that has been republished elsewhere (it happens). But no, looked into it, she died in 2016.

      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.
