Oh look an anti-vegan circlejerk.

Do the "how do you know someone's vegan? They'll tell you" joke next. I promise it doesn't come off as insecure.

Those lame jokes make me wanna mention the Vegan Bullshit Bingo.

Free Space really should be "Where do you get your protein?"

WHERE WITH ALL THE ANIMALS IF ALL WENT VEGAN NOW?

Can someone please answer this?!

[-] chetradley@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

In the wild.

[-] kcfb@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah but where with all the animals?

An interesting tangent is that this could entail the extinction of several human-designed strains of animal which are not well equipped to live in the wild.

So mote it be I guess.

Base genetics are still around for the chicken, pig, and sheep, but the Aurochs's extinction means we irrevocably altered the cow. I'm sure a few varieties of cow would adapt to the wild though.

Buffalo may need to keep their vestigial wings too.

More broadly, the answer is that it doesn't really matter that much. Species go extinct all the time, and with humans around the rate has been astronomically higher. Replacing animal products with plant based or cell based products might even have a net benefit in extinctions, since land that would otherwise go towards feeding and raising livestock could instead be let back to nature.
