It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I agree with this. I understand why everything was branded as a meat replacement, but that just lead to the promise of meat taste and texture that I don't think has ever been satisfyingly achieved. "Oat drink" tells you what you're getting so your average meat-pilled flesh-maxxer doesn't feel betrayed. It can be enjoyed on it's own merits.
That was my experience when I was veggie for a few years; Meat substitutes weren't good substitutes and I didn't start to enjoy them until I learned to appreciate them on their own merits.
Except for the fact that we have been referring to liquid from plants as "milk" for centuries. Nobody batted an eye at soy milk in all these years, but suddenly it's supposedly weird or trying to replace cow milk... It's just not. I get the issue with branding vegan food as a meat replacement, but plant milk was never that.
i mean even fucking opium starts out as "milk of the poppy".
Juice of the poppy*
Flowers don’t have nipples.
Structure Purist, Phylogeny Rebel: "A flower is a nipple."
Aren't they technically genitals. Male/female/both. It should be soy spunk, or soy squirt.
If you buy oat milk and expect some sort of cow milk you should lose your driving license
The trick to vegan cooking is to not focus on what is "missing"
Word. Tofu was gross until I stopped trying to use it as a substitute and realized I could marinate it and get a delicious result.
Truth. Folks need to learn from the people that invented and eat the stuff for hundreds of years.
Just don't ask which country invented which thing unless it's clearly and undisputibly from there. Aka don't ask who invented dubu/doufu/tofu
