Fuck. I guess you're the one attending paintball with a Claymore.

Damn, you play for keeps

Painball.

I love how this goes along with another reply saying vegans are too weak to play. Shit, man, I'd like to try paintball but if I'm forced to use marbles then yeah I guess I am too weak lmao

A touch of nutritional yeast does wonders

They can't even climb mount everest!!1!

Pretty sure it's jist the shell the paint is in that uses animal parts, and glycerine can be made from plants too. 🤷‍♂️

I’m guessing the shell is made from gelatin or something? Which is made from animal bones. I can’t think of what else would be made from animal.

Don't we all?

Fun fact! This is why E Ink displays use pig products!

I only did paintball once, and that place didn't use gelatin balls, I think they were made of a thin bioplastic film (corn stuff) filled with ink

TIL

You know they're not really made of bears, right?

There are vegan gummy bears though

Pectin FTW

i have a specific unusual food allergy. I always presumed abraham or ishmael or jacob or moses or one of them mythical folk had a food allergy against pigs and said "you know what, if i started a religion about not eating pigs maybe i wouldn't get the runs every time i went out to eat"

Maybe they just thought pigs are too cute to eat.

There was also the result of drawing a sharp line between the in-group and everyone else. If we have strict dietary laws but the people on the other side of the hill don’t share them, then it follows that they’re unspeakable barbarians, and that we should not trade or cooperate with them, let alone intermarry, and indeed, it’s acceptable to kill them and take their stuff, as surely such a barbarous people would do the same to us.

Could also just be an exaggerated case of "ew, poor people food", since pigs will eat damn near anything.

I guess chickens are similarly omnivorous and take up less space though (plus, eggs). And are arguably easier to transport and defend (a rooster can fuck you up)

I thought it was due to the parasites, worms?, that pork gets in hot arid countries which is why both the Jews and Muslims don't eat it

I am thinking of a Dollop episode that discussed pigs in early New York City. They were the trash clean up before there were people dedicated to the job. They were allowed to just run free and scrounge whatever offal they could find. It could have been less that pigs were unclean, rather pigs kept things clean. If people ate all the pigs, there would be corpses and fecal matter lying around for extended periods of time which would cause disease.

isnt mostly pork tapeworm they worry about.

Poultry eats carrion as well. Matter of fact, I'd wager pigs are more hygenic than poultry.

Salmonella can be obtained just by touching chickens it doesn't require eating them. Trichinella is obtained by eating pork, raccoons, foxes, etc

Conjecture: it may have simply been trichinella

I'll allow it.

I see what you did there. Yes, they hurt halal.

A lor of sects in Christianity also forbid pork too so I think they are talking about that?

It doesn't offer any insight into how common these beliefs are or how strict these are adhered to, even comparatively within different sub beliefs.

Within christianity there's a certain amount of christians that believe specifically in space angels. Obviously halal is more common "within islam" but it seems a little weasely to write that without elaboration.

At first I thought pun is saying piss instead of peace and I thought we were in reddit for a second lmao.
