An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.
Rules and miscellaneous:
- We take for granted that if you engage in this community, you understand that veganism is about the animals. You either are vegan for the animals, or you are not (this is not to say that discussions about climate/environment/health are not allowed, of course)
- No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
- Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
- Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
- All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I know it’s pendantic as fuck, but I’m gonna be that person.
It’s affect, not effect.
I have to ask, because my non-native speaking ass thought you were wrong for a moment. Context aside, it "affects" the body and therefore "has an effect on" the body, right?
Bingo. Affect is a verb, effect is a noun.
Edit: English is silly and I'm a fool for thinking I had so much as a foothold on the wall of mastery of my native language.
Plot twist: they are both verbs and nouns, but the noun affect only gets used in psychology
From wiktionary:
Or a conspicuous and intentional habit (I guess that’s psychological, but it’s not a technical term) like a fake accent/limp.
