Chugs a gallon of water and scarfs down a whole steak. Bold of you to assume I'm more environmentally friendly than AI.

[-] exasperation@lemm.ee 21 points 3 months ago

I was gonna eat that steak anyway, whether I send zero or 100 emails today.

[-] ElcaineVolta@kbin.melroy.org 11 points 3 months ago

well it's still like 1,800+ gallons of water for a single pound of prepared cow flesh, so..

[-] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 months ago

this is probably not true

Man the level of triggered I got while reading this really makes me question if I am a bad person, but I can imagine that in this age of corporate sponsored propaganda that some corporations benefit (Monsanto) from veganism. These comments have the opposite effect, such an absurd statistic without any point of reference or comparison is meaningless except to those who wouldn't question it either way. Shame-spreading won't solve the climate or world hunger

wow, you brought a lot of your own stuff to my comment.

It doesn't seem like their point was to trigger? Unless you're triggered by the word flesh?

I'm not a vegan/vegetarian. But I recognize from a purely thermodynamics perspective that meat is less efficient than a plant based diet. They're efficiency losses for feeding plants to another organism instead of just eating those plants directly.

Before agriculture, meat was basically required for humans. Let wild animals consume inedible plants and then hunt using very little of your own resources. Now that equation has been inverted since we control the entire chain of resources.

You can be mindful of environmental issues and efficiency without taking a moral stance on meat eating. There's really no easy answer, it's very complex. Pollution, water use, land use, pesticides, nutrition, etc are all factors.

gallon of water

Am... Am I not supposed to be drinking water now?

[-] LostXOR@fedia.io 10 points 3 months ago

It's a reference to how generative AI uses huge amounts of water.

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 4 points 3 months ago

Ahhh, okay. I really thought I'd missed a memo and the water wars were upon us

I hate how people are trying to shame me for generating some funny pictures when they commute to the office in a gas guzzler for only doing online meetings.

Unless it’s okay we start shaming them too every time we get the chance :p

[-] BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one 6 points 3 months ago

It does absolutely nothing, and is simply a dog whistle.

May we should instead add some prompts to our signature like "Please answer the E-Mail like Donald Trump would" this would make no Impact to the environments but may would lead to some funny responses.
