Is it just me, or does anyone else cringe when people make up fake conversations to make a point that didn’t require it.

When you go to machines for advice, it’s safe to assume they are going to give it exactly the way they have been programmed to.
If you go to machine for life decisions, it’s safe to assume you are not smart enough to know better, and- by merit of this example, probably should not be allowed to use them.

I appreciate you making my point for me with such simplicity. Sometimes, gifts just wrap themselves I guess.
And the gross joke is, this meme is meant to be asking grown adults.

Wren@lemmy.worldto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK that apart from not having a car and voting, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat.1·12 hours agoFair argument. Though… it seems no one has a problem with OP’s post being a complete lie so long as they agree with the message.
I find this interesting. It makes me wonder if anyone that accepts this lie as a means to a better end, has ever called out any lies themselves.
I guess I’m just fascinated with hypocrisy.
Wren@lemmy.worldto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK that apart from not having a car and voting, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat.33·1 day agoI provided a link that directly disproves what OP is saying. How is it not helpful? It’s far more helpful than the original post by the merit of it not being a blatant lie.
Agriculture provenly provides roughly between 10% and a potential 20% of the pollution problem. And that’s including both livestock and equipment/vehicles. That still a lot, sure… but it’s not close to what these people would have you believe.
You’re totally fine to keep eating meat if that is what you enjoy in your diet. It’s barely making a dent in the bigger picture. Don’t let them stonewall you into changing what you enjoy just to meet their standards.
But… If you want to seriously fight greenhouse gases, and not just another vegan trying to bury the real motivation here- then go after big industry. Agriculture barely scratches what they’re doing.
Here’s more sources if you’d like, but they all just say the same thing.
