Ew, ai.
dAIry. Conspiracy confirmed.
Ewww people defending raping other animals.
Ew, content promoting
animal rapedairy.It could be a femboy milk pipe, you don’t know.
From a consenting fembAI.
People would probably be more supportive of your cause if you didn’t exaggerate in the most extreme and incorrect ways
How do you think cows make milk on large, industrial scales?
Do you think they’re always producing milk? Or that the industry switched cows out 1 by 1 as each and every one stops making milk?
If you don’t the answer to these important, fundamental questions, you are living an ignorant life
Dairy cows are artificially inseminated once per year.
Raped*
wrong
Care to point out where I exaggerated “in the most extreme and incorrect ways?”
They have got a point. You know what they mean. People will ignore you if you push your narrative too far, in their opinion
Because I said “animal rape?” How dare I state blatantly where the beloved dairy products come from, the horror!
Apparently it doesn’t bother you that you make veganism look bad since you chose to be sarcastic like that. You’re actively preventing veganism
Are you a vegan?
If not, who are you to say you know what’s best for our movement?
Activism from all sides is important to the cause. You downplaying this Lemming’s activism is serving to silence their voice
So you do know what the incorrect and absurd exaggeration was, after all.
I’m with this guy.
Also I think even if they want to make the most forfecul point possible, I don’t think talking about consent is the greatest thing.
Should really impress the fact that they’re won’t produce milk unless they’ve been pregnant. So dairy cows are kept pregnant as much as possible. They live like five years then collapse of exhaustion and get carted to the slaughterhouse.
The cows my late grandma tended to in her youth lived like 20 years.
Industrial intensive farming is immoral as fuck but I can’t really pretend like the cow understands sexual assault.
You’re a dairy shill that lacks moral intelligence.
Of course you find the truth exaggerative when you’ve twisted your ethics to only consider rape a human phenomenon.
I’ve never claimed that rape is only a “human phenomenon”. Artificial insemination of livestock is not raping them though.
I just have common sense and understand that nuance exists.
Artificial insemination is rape. It involves non-consensual penetration of another animal. It can happen by a bull, by a human, or by any other animal (or alien for that matter). Makes no difference for the animal that is on the receiving end.
Your idea of nuance quite conveniently means that the moral caution you afford to humans isn’t afforded to animals, which is anthropocentrist and egocentric. If ever in the future you call yourself empathetic, know that you absolutely aren’t.
Artificial insemination is rape.
Factually incorrect
Your idea of nuance quite conveniently means that the moral caution you afford to humans isn’t afforded to animals
Yes, absolutely, things are different in different situations and contexts. That’s literally how nuance works. Absolutism and reducing morality down to black-and-white is incorrect.
If ever in the future you call yourself empathetic, know that you absolutely aren’t.
🙄 yeah, using actual rape victims’ suffering to push your personal agenda makes you super empathetic and the good guy… oh brother
Factually incorrect
Nope, I’m right. Rape is the non-consensual penetration of another animal’s vaginal, anal, or oral orifices. Applies to humans, cows, or any other animal.
things are different in different situations and contexts.
But humans and animals are the same in their capacity to experience pain and pleasure (i.e. to be sentient). That capacity may vary according to species, but your lack of recognition for that once again proves to me how egocentric you are. How fucking dull.
actual rape victims
You mean cows right? And women? And any other member of a species that experiences rape? You cannot gatekeep this to just humans. Seems to me that you’re the one disrespecting rape victims here by denying how other species can experience the same.
Cows produce more milk if they’re forcibly impregnated every year. Supporting cow milk is supporting rape, this is a fact.
Adding “This is a fact” doesn’t make it a fact, sadly. Unless you’re in the US.
The word you’re looking for is “artificial insemination” and it does not equate to rape. This is a fact.
Alright then c’mon over buddy I’ll get the turkey baster ready
I’m not even vegan but wtf is this logic
False equivalency; I am not a cow.
My logic is sound and self consistent while yours depends on fallacies.
…can animals not be raped?
Ok buddy, explain to me the difference between artificial insemination and rape.
I’ll wait
I am sure laws vary by country, but going with laws here…
One is done with a glorified Turkey baster to livestock. The other with your penis to a woman.
Are we seriously comparing women to livestock here? But even AI to a human woman would be sexual assault, not rape.
One is done with a glorified Turkey baster to livestock. The other with your penis to a woman.
Both are non-consensual penetrations of animal vaginas. The actors involved need not be the same species, as in bestiality, and the thing used to penetrate need not be a body part. How would you like it if the women loved ones in your life were vaginally penetrated with Turkey basters instead of penises? Makes no difference because the deed is the same: concent is violated and in a sexual (read: vaginal body parts = sexual body parts) manner.
I’m not comparing women to livestock in the slightest, you’re putting words in my mouth. I’m saying that actions of rape DONE TO BOTH women and animals bear exact similarity. There is no difference between artificial insemination without consent of women as for animals, and there is no difference between vaginal intercourse without consent of animals as for women. Both of these instances constitute rape.
And artificial insemination without consent to a women is absolutely rape. It consists of vaginal penetration without consent. That is literally the definition.
Watch rapists try this one nasty trick.
So putting semen up a vagina without consent isn’t rape?
So putting semen up a vagina
without consentisn’t rape?The concept of consent does not apply for livestock in this context. And yes, in the context of artificially inseminating livestock, that is correct.
So you are saying rape doesn’t exist in a slavery context.
Disgusting comment, it doesn’t stop being rape because the species are different.
The concept of consent does not apply for livestock in this context.
The concept of human rights does not apply for when I shove a boot up your ass after you’re done licking the dairy industry’s.
Look, I don’t disagree with your point necessarily, but you’re not winning over literally anyone in this thread. It’s just not happening.
Nobody ever has been convinced that dairy is rape and meat is murder by some Lemmy user saying “dairy is rape” and following up with “because it is”.
Most obviously, your primary argument is consequentialism, which many people just don’t see as a valid form of ethics. Many people subscribe to deontology instead, and so they don’t see it as rape because they are not obtaining sexual gratification from artificial insemination or drinking milk.
You’re telling me motive makes a bad thing okay to do under deontology? In other words, it’s okay for a deontologist to murder someone if they have a cool motive?
I dunno I thought Kant said you should never do bad things even if you have a good reason.
Imo, Kant’s principles don’t really apply in this scenario, the Categorical Imperative applies to human-to-human treatment. Kant’s primary principle is act as such it would become universal law. Animal consumption is already a universal law.
Murder (of a human) is wrong because when applied universally, then society collapses. Theft is wrong because when applied universally, the right of property, and therefore society, collapses.
Animal consumption doesn’t cause societal collapse.
Thoughts?
Animal consumption causes factory farming, and farming causes chickens to develop stress-induced autophagia. I don’t like it when the chickens are so unhappy they eat themselves and need to be debeaked. We should all stop doing things that cause that.
yeah, we just let the bull do his thing and the family dairy worked fine until we sold it in the 90s. where you getting your info because I lived it?
!=rape. sorry.
Forced impregnation isn’t rape, forced labour isn’t slavery, and forced death isn’t murder with you carnists. What else, war is peace and ignorance is strength? We’ve always been at war with eastasia?
It absolutely is bovine rape.
Looks pretty AI slop-y…
Oh God, the smells
Wasn’t there some discussion or pilot implementation of beer lines ?
Idiocracy already came up with that
Such painfully obvious AI. Hot water lines from your municipality… yikes. The amount of heat and energy loss for piping hot water, not to mention the excess heat abnormally warming soil temps… wtf.
You spent too long engaging the joke then. Corporate theft issues aside this is the perfect use of AI. Its 5 seconds and move on…
Beer pipeline are a thing. At the Hellfest festival all the bars are connected to a beer pipeline fed by tankers trucks of beer.
I thought of having soda faucets like that as a kid.
That should be doable. You can carbonize the water and inject syrup.
That is how (home use) soda machines work. Although the syrup gets usually mixed in while pouring into a glass.
Cum pipes when??
They’re called dicks
Richard pipelines?
Pp pipelines.
“Ppp.”
I love the comments here.
OP: uses AI to illustrate five-second throwaway gag
average poster: is that AI? burn him! burn the witch!
armchair plumbers: you can’t bury pipes that shallow, and why the heck would you do direct burial?
armchair engineers: do you know how much heat you’re wasting?!
I’m more curious how a hot water main works? Is there just millions of miles of heated pipes underground? And I thought a gas boiler was inefficient.
There’s a few places that use the water runoff from a nuclear power plant to provide hot water or heating to surrounding homes. Apparently they only have a lose about 3% of the heat and can supply a 100km area.
Obviously the pipes probably don’t look like that
Any time you want hot water, you need to wait for all of the water between your house and the heating facility to drain before you get hot water. It can help to coordinate with your neighbours.
Wait. That’s a different problem than hot water just from my basement. The basement is slow, but has nothing to do with neighbors. I think we live in different countries.
The mains are shared with your neighbours, so a hot water main would also be shared with neighbours. So just like running the hot water in the bathroom sink before a shower means hot water gets to the shower quicker, with hot water mains, your neighbour having a hot shower before you means you’ll see hot water sooner.
Though my country does not have hot water mains. I wouldn’t be surprised if the heat losses are enough that even sharing a water heater between unattached neighbours is less efficient than both using their own heaters, let alone a whole city doing that. Though maybe tropical areas could do it.
Honestly I wasn’t going to post this, because it’s an AI meme. I just thought the whole juxtaposition of the obvious AI image and the idea itself was so stupidly funny
