Look, homie is just spitting facts and expressing their love for good things. If that’s crazy well,
“The LARD is good” is actually a decent pun.
Praise the lard!
I do! It’s a wonderful fat for many applications. Baking, cooking, sexual lubricant, coffee creamer; you know, the usual.
Appropriate for all us Pastafarians. Praise the Lard!! May he bless us with his noodley appendage 🙏🏼
Used to live near someone whose car was covered in “Meat is Murder - Animal Holocaust” stickers.
I bet the pig butts guy is more pleasant.
anyone who is that passionate about shitting on others will be insufferable tbh
Eh, anyone who goes out of their way to shit on other people’s dietary preferences is unpleasant in my book.
It’s not even like the vast majority people who refrain from gluten just because they don’t like it or think it’s healthier. It’s because they can’t tolerate it. This car reads to me like someone ragging on people who have peanut or shellfish allergies.
I have a shellfish allergy and I rag on me all the time. The one that really sucked was developing an egg allergy. I love eggs (and before someone suggests duck eggs, they were the initial trigger. I was probably somewhat intolerant before because they gave me heartburn and some digestion issues, but 3 duck eggs caused projectile vomit, and I haven’t been able to eat eggs since).
It’s not even like the vast majority people who refrain from gluten just because they don’t like it or think it’s healthier. It’s because they can’t tolerate it.
Umm, source?
There was certainly a fad for going gluten free as a fad there for a while, but I haven’t really encountered any of that crowd in a bit. However, I definitely have friends with celiac disease and/or gluten allergies.
While any sweeping claim is better when backed by data that supports it, I dont think this particular case is a hill I’d die on.
If we were placing bets, I would put money down that his love of pigs is to shit on the Muslim community. I don’t have any hard evidence to that effect, but I dunno. I just have a feeling.
To give the dude some credit, a while back it was kinda in-style to hate on gluten or think you’re intolerant to it, so maybe this is just a reaction to that?
Yes, the root of the “backlash” was people avoiding gluten after it became somewhat of a health fad. Somehow it became perceived as an elitist affectation, like “they think they’re better than us! They’re too good for our regular food!!”. I don’t really get why people care so much about what other people don’t want to eat though.
No, he’s a gluten for puneshment.
No the vast majority do it for a health fad
Celiacs are very minimal and you can look at how impossible it was to find gluten free food until it became a health fad as evidence
As someone who can’t eat wheat, I hope it continues. My life has improved dramatically since it got popular.
“meat is murder” is directly attacking other’s dietary preferences. The person in the picture looks like they are sharing what they love with the world.
If one feels attacked over what someone else loves, they probably need some self reflection.
Beet is burder.
I would probably road rage if someone was talking smack about beets.
Any of my root vegetable homies.
Settle down, Mr. Shrute.
I mean, sure. Theoretically.
Same as how “meat is murder” isn’t actually an attack, it’s just sharing their thoughts on ethics passively on the back of their car.Realistically, we can probably guess that the person with a lot of “meat is murder” stickers is probably about as likely to be the sort of person to say something shitty to someone eating a burger as this person is to loudly proclaim they eat twice as much meat a day to cancel out a vegan, and that people who are gluten free are just following a fad or attention seekers eating fake bread.
They don’t love gluten. Good dough, sure, but I’ve never gone “man, that gluten is unreal”.
I love seitan, as do many people, which is just wheat gluten.
But you wouldn’t call it gluten. You’d call it seitan, like you just did.
I actually do call it gluten IRL.
What if my dietary preference was cannibalism? Then would it be okay to shit on my dietary preference?
Not eating animals isn’t a dietary stance, it’s an ethical stance.
What’s this ethical stance about?
Is it about what you eat?
Is it an ethical stance about what you eat, and therefore a dietary stance?You really chose the person saying “vegans aren’t assholes, it’s the preachy people who are the problem” to get preachy at didn’t you?
I’m not a vegan, and I’m also not a fan of vegan preaching, but veganism extends beyond diet to include other products like clothes and makeup. So it’s not entirely a dietary stance, that’s just where it gets the most contention. Most people are mostly vegan outside the dietary sphere, so there’s not much fighting to be had there.
Yes, I do know what veganism is. But in this case we’re talking about food, and in that sphere veganism is a dietary preference. That it also has other lifestyle implications isn’t really relevant to a conversation about food.
I am more than happy to be preachy about ending the suffering and abuse of literally billions of animals.
Listen, I appreciate someone who is at least not hostile towards vegans, but I hate this whole “I respect what vegans eat, so they should respect what I eat”. Sir, you are eating an animal that was most likely tortured and abused its entire life up until the point it was murdered
It’s just about the timing and choice of person you go preachy on is all.
I do not give a damn about your dietary preferences. At all, in the slightest.And so who do you choose to annoy? Obviously the person saying vegans aren’t the worst, but just “people”.
It’s like you’re trying to persuade people that they’re wrong when they say that vegans, like all people, have a range of “chill” to “insufferable”.
Don’t worry though, you have not shaken my beliefs. I just think you in particular are insufferable on this topic.
I want to eat at this guy’s house
Too much of this good thing could give you clogged arteries. I love bacon, but I don’t want a bacon sandwich made with deep-fried breaded ham slices in place of bread, & slathered in butter.
Shit. Maybe I do, now that I’ve written it out.
I mean having such a sandwich even every few weeks probably won’t negatively affect you that much. It’s eating like that daily that causes problems.
We take 18 ounces of sizzling ground beef and soak it in rich creamery butter. Then we top it off with bacon, ham, and a fried egg. We call it the Good Morning Burger.
Sounds like something you’d get in Pawnee from Paunch Burger.
Besides the burger size that’s a thing I’ve seen more than once, and it’s Delicious.
that’s a goodnight burger because there’s no way my body is staying conscious after ingesting that
Nah, it’s okay, I’m sure they’d be okay with throwing that in a delicious, gluten-packed bun. Wrapped in bacon.
You’re making me think of that old YouTube channel, where they’d make extreme, absurd foods like this. What an awesome show… Epic Meal Time! That was it! They’d wrap anything in bacon.
A real bacon, pork roll, or other pork fat + salt processed meat sandwich needs to use waffles instead of bread. Don’t forget the Mrs Butterworth syrup because you need your daily dose of high fructose corn syrup too.
This person knows how to eat like a true Midwesterner.
Dude make me one too
lol of course this is in my home state of Ohio…
Someone is on the way to Flavortown!
Ohio plates and a p&g sticker check out
Insane because it seems to stem from the believe that there is forceful opposition to their beliefs. Maybe they live nextdoor to a PETA psycho but that seems more like an outlier.
Just another reactionary. Probably bought into hating vegans because it’s cool on the internet and decided to do a little rl trolling.
I’m just mad cuz I miss gluten.
Same
Seitan is your food of choice
Glutenous Maximus over here loving that Pig gluteus maximus.
Honestly, I kinda get it. It’s getting really hard to find real food. Fries taste WAY better cooked in lard. It used to be the norm, but is impossible to find now. Same with donuts or anything fried, really. Also gluten free stuff tastes like shit. I’m happy it became a trend for the actual celiacs out there though.
I know this is meant to be funny, but animal fat > vegetable or palm oil any day.
But it’s not like it’s hard to find things that aren’t gluten free though. That’s like, most of the grocery store.
I’m not sure I’d call things that aren’t fried in lard “not real food”.
It isn’t real unless somebody suffered.
Accurate but I really don’t think that’s what he’s going for.
It’s great for coeliacs, I’m not a huge fan of a lot of gluten free stuff (I’m not a coeliac but I have a parent and child who are and consequently eat a fair bit of gluten free food). Mostly it’s shit cause it’s low effort. With the right flours a ton of stuff is actually good, but mostly homemade. Some of the store bought breads are passable now (though pricey and I doubt anyone buys it out of preference if not a coeliac). What’s annoying as fuck is having to tell your 5 year old they can’t have something because something that in no way needs gluten in it contains gluten.
Insane. Extremism is never the sign of a sane mind whatever the topic.
Nah, there’s a point where you go beyond extremism and return back to sanity, the trick is to hit that sweet spot and not keep going back to Insanity.
I think this person nailed it.
…What.
I’m referring to Poe’s Law, and applying it outside of the Internet.
An example of bumper stickers as mentioned by someone else here:
- 1-3 - probably normal
- 4-12 - quite extreme
- more than 12 - probably parody
I’m saying there’s a point where parody turns back into extremism/mental illness (probably around the 20-30 bumper sticker mark). So there’s a spectrum:
- Normal range
- Crazy range
- Parody range
- Back to crazy
Examples in conservative politics:
- Moderate conservatives, like your average conservative family member - probably dislikes Trump, etc, but sides with the GOP more than not
- Trump evangelists - doesn’t know what they believe, other than Trump; weird form of double think required to follow Trump through flip flops
- The old Colbert Report and other conservative parodies from the left - generally take a more extreme view from 2 to make parody obvious
- Far right extremist groups, like those present on Jan 6 - these groups say what 3 says and mean it, and take it even further
Or with pork:
- Someone saying their favorite food is bacon when asked
- Someone who talks about bacon all the time, when when not talking about food (kinda weird)
- Someone who wears bacon themed shirts, has bacon bumper stickers, etc, in obvious parody
- Someone wears bacon rings, and always seems to have bacon with them
Poe’s law is the boundary between 2 and 3, and there’s a point where you go beyond and get back to crazy.
Where’s the I <3 MSG sticker?
MSG is the umami cheat code.
Just put that in any food and instant umami goodness.
Seriously - that stuff is powdered magic. I started cooking with it a few years ago and it’s a total game-changer. The only challenge was forcing myself from adding too much. It seems to have an actual acrid taste if you add so much that it’s obvious.
Somebody once told me that it’s good in desserts. BIG mistake. It tasted like battery acid.
I can see it potentially working in some desserts, but as you’ve experienced it sounds like you’ve gotta approach it with a really light hand.
Doesn’t hurt anyone’s feelings so there’s no point.
I don’t think they know what gluten is.
It’s what he craves.
It has electrolytes! :-P
God dammit, I just watched that movie for the first time. With my housemates, like two weeks ago.
Now you get to watch as irl it continues on forever… :-D
Except in the show, they found a smart guy and immediately put him in charge - thus we have already surpassed irl the level of Idiocracy featured in that movie:-(. Don’t Look Up.
Without all of the other stickers, one might assume “Life Is Better With Pig” was referring to their dating preferences.
The sticker reads “PIG - Pretty Insensitive Guy.” It should instead be “Petty Insensitive Guy”
