    I don’t think you understand that, like always with the same old small minority of vegans that go out there being cruel to people, these posts are reactive to recent poor behaviour. For this reason, it’s unusual for anyone to empathise with these types of people, regardless of ideology, unless you are in defence of their antagonising of others; which is fine, just don’t be surprised by the ongoing discourse not being in favour of that position.





  • Yeah. That’s literally one of the main cores of shitpost culture, obviously trolling is just as foundational, but derailing or sparking discussion is another main ingredient of what makes a shitpost a shitpost.

    Wikipedia:

    In Internet culture, shitposting or trashposting is the act of using an online forum or social media page to post content that is of “aggressively, ironically, and trollishly poor quality”.Shitposts are generally intentionally designed to derail discussions or cause the biggest reaction with the least effort.

    KnowYourMeme:

    “Shitposting” is an Internet slang term describing a range of user misbehaviors and rhetoric on forums and message boards that are intended to derail a conversation off-topic, including thread jacking, circlejerking and non-commercial spamming.

    Meriam-Webster:

    : to post something online (such as a comment, video, or meme) that is deliberately absurd, provocative, or offensive

    Urban Dictionary:

    A post of little to no sincere insightful substance. Especially a “shit”(low)-effort/quality-post with the sole purpose to confuse, provoke, entertain or otherwise evoke an unproductive reaction. Often exemplified in surreal out-of-context posts.

    Digital Cultures:

    Shitposting is an internet slang expression, with several varying meanings, depending on the context.

    It usually refers to the non-conforming behavior of users, or to the creation of off-topic posts and memes, that are way out of context and serve to push the conversation of its original path.

    “Shitposts” are almost always low quality, with little to no concrete value and are mostly made for trolling others.

    If I wrote that poorly at 9, I’d likely have been held back.

    I still remember when I was 7 and scored 19/20 in the weekly spelling test. The third word was “put” and for the life of me I couldn’t remember how to spell it and wrote “poot” knowing it was wrong. I remember the last (toughest) was “marriage” and I had no issues. I had a perfect gold star run up until then :(













  • Cash has been so uncommon in my country for a very long time. It’s like an insult to give a friend cash, like, “Here. This is your problem now.”

    I think I used to just hold my open wallet in one hand and accept the cash in the other, slide the coins off, slot the notes in, and grab my stuff. I don’t remember it being annoying. Though our notes were polymer so coins slid easy.
