We should just be talking about the benefits of bananas, they are a great source of potassium!

[-] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

From now on, we at /c/vegan will promote a strictly banana-based diet in humans. Fruitarians will be tolerated, but only to the extent that they take steps toward removing other fruits from their diet and becoming bananatarian. /s

meanwhile in the dog food discussions:

  • My dog likes bell pepers
  • My dog only eats raw racoon meet
  • my dog eats poop

Dogs, the easiest species to feed

Edit: they will.also eat all the crumbs and spills from the floor saving time on cleaning

[-] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 1 week ago

Dogs are nature's vacuum cleaners confirmed

Dogs have been selectively bred to better handle foods humans eat barring some notable exceptions. Dogs significantly better grain digesting enzyme production than wild candids for example.

My dog has an iron gut based on what she can happily eat

Dogs, the easiest species to feed

That would be pigs but some dogs are actually quite close to that.

My dog knows the command "help", which means "oh no I spilled some food on the floor come clean it up"

I just feed my cats the same beans I feed the children locked in the basement. They both survive just fine with the right supplements.

[-] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 34 points 1 week ago

Don’t even joke about that. Cats are obligate carnivores, they can’t survive on beans. If you must, let them eat the children.

[-] socsa@piefed.social 21 points 1 week ago

Unfortunately I need the children to satisfy the hag witch.

I keep seeing that "people are talking about beans", but I don't actually see people TALKING about beans. I'm convinced that the joke is, that nobody actually talks about beans. Just talks about how other people are talking about beans.....which they aren't. That's somehow the joke.

[-] buttfarts@lemy.lol 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

hohoho... My friend you have fallen into the trap. By me responding to this comment about how nobody is actually discussing beans, we are now engaged in a discussion about beans!

Thus furthers our plot of packing bean related content into the algorithm. This is the only way to save our timeline from Skynet!

[-] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago

This is a meta-discussion about beans though. We're not talking about beans, we're talking about talking about beans.

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week ago

nobody talks about beans

You need a better friend group. Your network is your net worth

[-] socsa@piefed.social 7 points 1 week ago

Everyone keep saying "what is beans?"

Nobody saying "how is beans?"

[-] nomous@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Because we all know beans are great.

Easy. Come up with some insane pet feeding scenario, and then assume you saw someone on YouTube vouch for it. Enter discourse. Ensure to present your theory by first saying "I don't know what a cat actually is, but...". Then slowly slide your audience into your scenario about how people in Florida have kept alligators alive by feeding them rotten boat parts with just the right algae and moss on it.

[-] socsa@piefed.social 8 points 1 week ago

Studies say that cats can survive just fine if you paralyze them and they inject them with nutrients fluid. Super convenient tbh.

[-] gencha@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

I have heard of studies 🤔

Ok let me set the ball rolling: Do you think cats should be fed vegan only diet?

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 8 points 1 week ago

I'm not a vegan but I do wonder if given the correct supplements would it really be so bad?

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 12 points 1 week ago

All jokes aside, the consensus seems to be it can be done, but would require regular visits to the vet and testing the cat's urine etc, and even then this would be very experimental.

Realistically, the answer is no.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Good luck with having to take cats to the vet regularly. They loooove it🙄

[-] cacheson@piefed.social 7 points 1 week ago

It's their second favorite thing, right after vegan cat food!

[-] socsa@piefed.social 5 points 1 week ago

With the correct supplements you can feed a human literal shit as well.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Yes. It would be literal torture and the poor cat would have no idea why it's being horribly abused.

[-] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)
[-] Sneptaur@pawb.social 6 points 1 week ago

Lmao is that what the argument is about? My cat eats organic ethically sourced fish because I'm bougie like that

[-] PlasticExistence@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

Can I feed my cat an all-bean diet?

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Sure, if you can overlook how cruelly beans are raised, etc...

[-] PlasticExistence@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Won't anyone do something about the plight of the beans!?

The REAL question is how much beans can I feed to a cat, and why does my house smell really bad?

[-] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

My cat loves beans (as a snack, not a meal). Do not consider this a salvo into that Lemmy civil war. My cat just loves beans and I love him.

Shaking the veggie tree again? COME AT ME BRUTHOR!

[-] frezik@midwest.social 10 points 1 week ago

My opinion has actually shifted as a matter of this debate. It used to be "hell no". Now it's "no, but maybe we can in the future if the science is done". It's pretty clear that there isn't much research on this, and the few peer reviewed articles on the subject tend to mention exactly how little has been done. What is there suggests that maybe, possibly, with the right diet and supplements, it could be done in the future.

Don't make your cat an experiment on this.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago

I got banned from a pet food sub on reddit for what I thought was a completely innocent question. It's a touchy subject everywhere apparently. The rumor is that pet food companies are major lurkers on pet subs and use reddit etc as an ad platform.
