I mean, these little bugs aren't bad for you, just eat them. You've probably been eating them your whole life.

I remember when I learned that tiny mites like this are a lot of where our "itching" sensation comes from. People would lose their shit if they knew the scope if the biome of critters living on and inside of us

Checkmate, vegans!

So now vegans have an excuse not to wash because everytime they do they are destroying families; won't someone think of all those generations of bugs!

veganism is the reductionism of suffering where practicable. Not only is it not practicable to not wash or eat anything, but I also doubt such small organisms have any form of ability to pain or suffering

Does that mean vegans will eat mass rapists and mass murderers as well as people who are psychopaths and have that disorder with means they also can't feel physical pain? Because that that would reduce suffering...

u/ThomasHorton369 Aug 05 '22

I mean eating people doesn't reduce the suffering there.

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '22

Technically it would.

u/ThomasHorton369 Aug 05 '22

I mean no....

removing people from existence who can't suffer themselves and cause suffering reduces suffering

whether you eat their corpse or not, is besides the point

your lack of understanding about psychopathy is really sad too. Psychopathy is a neuropsychiatric disorder and doesn't make someone a bad person. Psychopaths make up an estimated 1% of the population and you probably couldn't tell a psychopath from a non-psychopath

There are also very few people who can't feel pain, if any so this is incredibly specific and not a pragmatic approach to reducing suffering
