That image will haunt the web until its end.
wtf xD
That’s some good soup.

It came from cows with autism, so you know that shit’s good.
Damn, my blade was also made by autistic cows dude, what are the odds!
I don’t know what’s funnier about this comment section… The people who seem to absolutely despise milk, or the big milk shills downvoting them all into oblivion.
“Big milk shills” aka normal people who happen to lime milk…
Lime milk is where i draw the line. Gtfo here with that abomination of dairy
:D Well now I have to leave that typo in!
Lime milk probably becomes curd soon
normal people
Drinking cows milk is normalized for most people, yes. But normal is a strange word for artificially inseminating another species, getting them pregnant, killing their baby, stealing their mothers milk then killing her way before she gets old. When you could just blend some oats.
We live in a world where there are animals that take the place of other animals’ tongue; where insects farm other insects; where parasites live in the skin of animals and different animals eat them, forming a symbiotic relationship; where predators often kill for fun.
Normal is the right word.
Normal, natural and necessary are the three N’s of Carnism. Also:
Vegan Bullshit Bingo #1:
Lions eat meat tooYes, animals kill in the wild - to survive. We humans are, as opposed to predators or parasites, omnivores. We know how to grow crops, vegetables, etc. and cultivate fields. We have a choice, a conscience and we have ethics. Are you identifying with the intelligence and life situation of that of a lion or a tongue parasite? Do you also commonly ask yourself “What would a tongue parasite do in my place right now”? Are lions that kill newborns of other lions, for example, really good role models?
Vegan Bullshit Bingo #54
Well, humans just are on top of the food chain.Shouldn’t you take responsibility in the role of the stronger and be considerate with your power? Just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you have to. Otherwise you could maltreat children, handicapped people and all other physically disabled people for fun. Of course we don’t do that because it would be immoral. Why should this moral understanding suddenly no longer apply to other species? Wouldn’t we also wish for mercy and compassion if tomorrow a species superior to us colonized the earth?
Lol I think we’d need a whole discussion on philosophy and psychology to correctly address these points, and I doubt either of us is qualified enough.
Projecting human morality on animals is… Funny, as our higher empathy is essentially a social animal’s trait that helps its group survive. Extending it to the whole universe is surely possible but who are we to say whether it’s correct or not? We can only evaluate measurable effects, such as those on our ecosystem.
Regardless, I never wanted to start a discussion on veganism, I don’t approve of current farming methods anyway, just pointing out that your definition of normal was wrong.
I think it’s not that complicated. There is this quote from Jeremy Bentham:
The question is not, Can they reason? nor, Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?
Which they obviously can, right? Watch the videos.
Now let’s not focus on them but on us, that’s easier: We are at a point in history where we (you and me) don’t need to kill animals anymore to survive. It is even harming us, clocking our arteries, destroying ecosystems. We live in a society where you can go buy plant-based alternatives that are cheaper and healthier, processed stuff like schnitzel and sausages, but also notorious superfoods like lentils and tofu. Happy Eat your Beans-day, by the way.
So we could solve like a quarter of the climate catastrophe, save millions on health care (I’m European) and human lifes by ditching saturated fat, slow down or even prevent further antibiotic resistance and free billions of sentient beings from short miserable lifes. But most of us choose not to, because they’re accustomed to a taste.
Ok that’s a solid rebuttal around the “is it normal” argument. I’m personally still of the mindset that it’s “normal but wrong”. I wish we’d stop using normal to mean “good” and stick with it meaning “popular”. Statistics!
Well I fully agree that virtually all modern animal farming is cruel and should be reformed, yet I don’t think Veganism is the only answer.
And of course Vegans shouting “YOU! Stop eating meat NOW, you monster!”, only manages to make people LESS likely to do that.Veganism definitely has terrible PR. But we also have to be wary of cherry picking the extremists from a movement as representatives of the whole.
I’d like to be 100% vegan, I’m not but I try. We started with weekday vegetarianism and went from there. Moderation is absolutely effective, IMO.
You’re not allowed to say the truth and make milk boys feel weird.
“Udder Boys against the Oatification of Milk!”
Damn, I need to copyright that! :)
Oh, by “blending some oats” you mean: We sow out unnatural cloned mutant seed, then we spray it with literal poison over and over again to kill every plant and animal that isn’t cloned mutant seed, we add growing agent that kills most nearby water organisms, then we harvest it, remove all of the healthy parts and grind down only the unhealthy fatty part. Next, we add tons of god knows what chemicals to achieve a consistency oats were never meant to have. Lastly, we add tons of highly industrialized suggar and lab grown taste chemicals so that our chemical cocktail doesn’t taste like complete garbage.
See, two can play that game…
We artificially inseminate because it’s healthier for the cows and more convenient. They would be pregnant just as often or even more in a natural herd. There is (almost) no baby killing going on. I don’t know who told you that garbage. There’s also no milk “stealing”. Modern cow breeds give way more milk than is required to feed the calf. In fact, most cows would get an udder infection if not molken regularly (and no, this isn’t just a problem for high performance cows).
You’ve never been even close to a real dairy farm and it shows!
You are right, I buy organic as often as I can to not support the spraying of poison. And I usually eat whole grains, as you suggested, as it is much healthier.
we add tons of god knows what chemicals
This ticks #9 of the Vegan Bullshit Bingo. I’m from Europe and our basic organic oatmilk comes with stuff made from algue, seeds and plant oils. This is used everywhere in foodprocessing. Look it up, no dangerous “chemicals” to be found. There are brands that add sugar and artificial flavor, sure. Udders milk has about 5% sugar (lactose) and oat milk usually doesn’t transcends this.
There is (almost) no baby killing going on
Half of the newborns are male and killed for veal, no? And the females get to be raised, milked and killed after a couple of years, so McDonald’s can sell you cheap beef burgers.
most cows would get an udder infection if not molken regularly
Vegan Bullshit Bingo #17: Cows need to be milked
We did that to them by breeding them like that. That’s Bullshit Bingo #32.Also, if you don’t want to grow so much oat and soy because it destroys ecosystems and rainforests (#2), don’t feed animals, feed people! We’re losing like 80% of the calories by giving it to cows. Here is a graph from the BBC
I live like 200 meters away from a dairy farm, no shit. :)
soy … destroys ecosystems and rainforests (#2), don’t feed animals, feed people!
the vast majority ( over 80% ) of soy is pressed for oil. the byproduct of that process is called soycake or soy meal, and it would be industrial waste if we didn’t feed it to livestock. that’s a conservation of resources.
I don’t know where you got your stats, but according to the fao 17% of the weight of the global soy crop becomes oil, but a soybean is only about 20% oil in total. that means some 85% of the crop is pressed for oil. that byproduct being fed to livestock is a benefit.

It’s 1% in every credible source I found. I don’t know where you got your garbage from. But then again, you’re using Vegan Bullshit Bingo, which is sponsored by and quotes the known terrorist organization Peta. So, it’s save to say that nothing you said is even remotely true.
Oh, and BTW vegan Bullshit Bingo #17 is also a complete lie! I work with Allgäuer Braunview, one of the most natural cow breeds out there. They still suffer from udder infections when not milked. In the wild this is mittigated by calves, but it can still be a problem when the calf dies.
Edit: Good god, I finally found out where the heck this 40% number comes from. This is a problem EXCLUSIVE to New Zealand! In every other part of the world, the vast majority of calves is raised till adulthood!
I’ve looked at the USDA data about veal, and to my recollection it was less than 3% of calves that became veal
Half of the newborns are male and killed for veal, no?
no
What happens to the other 97%?
they’re brought to full weight and slaughtered, or become dairy cows and produce milk
An example of what people accept as normal:
In 2020, 4.9 million dairy calves were born in New Zealand. Exact numbers are not collected on the outcome of each calf, but NZ dairy industry lobby organisation DairyNZ estimate that of those:
2 million (40%) were bobby calves, who are killed around a week after birth.
1.4 million (28%) were female cows kept by dairy farmers to replace the 20-30% of older cows who will be slaughtered every year when they are no longer deemed productive.
1.3 million (27%) were raised to maturity for beef. Beef animals are generally slaughtered when they reach maturity at around one and half years old.
196,000 (4%) were born dead or die shortly after birth.
Ok I recognise the last two movies… but what are the first two? 🤔🤔
Top right is Inglorious Basterds. Not sure about top left.
Top left is Get Out. Pretty decent thriller
Are you a baby cow? Then it’s fucking weird to drink the mammary excretions of a cow.
Milk bad Cheese good
/s
This but unironically
Drinking cow milk is gross! You even need pasteurize it to get rid of the tony organisms!
But what if we add tiny organisms, again , see not gross anymore
spoiler
BTW I love milk and cheese
Yeah everybody hates Tony.
no, it’s not. it’s very common.
Moloko Plus is much more than milk.
I still drink/love/crave milk, but have long-since graduated to half-and-half. Heavy cream in my pure keto phase was arguably crossing the line.
Delicious though
And easily justified on keto. Recipe for disaster.
Clearly Cows have finally infiltrated our media, this is unmistakably a Bovine Psyop Astroturfing Operation.
I for one welcome their utter dominance.
You could have written UDDER!
Look, I want you to know that I realize the mistake I made now and I am sorry
They’re onto us…
Dated a mixed girl in college about the time “Get out” came out. We saw it in theaters, and on the way out she asked me “what is it with white people eating cereal without milk?” And for some reason both this statement and her’s are both valid. I say this as a white guy who loves both milk, and eating cereal like snack crisps.
During breaks after lunch, my office coworkers all grab small bowls of cereal from the break room and just eat it dry.
I thought it was weird at first but the more I think about it, it shouldn’t be. It’s pretty much sugary snacks.
Honestly, if you can define the cereal you eat as “sugary snack”, get better cereal.
Yes!
Normalize eating cereal without it being made soggy!
_(also check out my kit pics! She’s giving adorable!)
So, I was an evil psychopath since I was young. Thanks. I’m proud of myself.
Can confirm, as far as I know, I am at least a bit psychopathic and I love a good glass of milk
Leon was a bad man that did a good thing, don’t confuse the two.
Were we talking about psychopaths, or bad ppl?
The unhinged child soldier rearing knife assassin definitely fucking qualifies.
The lightsaber is not a “knife”.
It cuts and toasts!

They’re re-uploading them! I think I might have the missing episodes somewhere on a hard drive… https://youtube.com/@jeditalk
That scene and that cute penguin that doesn’t want to be eaten scene felt like some sort of vegan subliminal messaging
The Dude buy it just for the White Russian.
Pretty sure in 2025 he would use soy-milk 😁
He’s drinking half and half
When you start drinking in the morning you can’t go all-in
Little of this, little of that
vodka and milk is not a valid recipe for a white russian. idk what the hell the dude thinks he’s drinking but it’s definitely not that.
He uses half & half throughout most of the movie.
is that not milk?
I’ve never seen someone drink half & half the way people drink milk. Like just a straight glass of half & half.
It is used almost exclusively as a substitute for heavy cream in recipes, so my mind considers it cream.
but is it milk or cream? is it like 5%?
50/50. Half cream, half whole milk… But the few times I’ve tasted it on its own, it is much closer to cream imo
I don’t remeber what a White Russian should be made of from my bartender years, but if it was cream, well I stay with the Dude.
At one point you’ve to prioritize your calories.
Kahlua - necessary Vodka - necessary Cream??? > Milk
yeh but he skips the liqueur too
indeed he doesn’t. either there’s sobe other scene i’m thinking of or i’m misremembering
The Dude is both chill, and poor. Not everyone has coffee liqueur and creamer money. He makes do with what’s around and he’s happy about it.
Coffee liqueur is super easy to make. Cheap vodka, super strong coffee and a vanilla bean. Let it sit for a month. You can add glycerin if you want to increase the viscosity, but not needed for white russians.
Obviously not something the Dude would do, but I might try this.
That’s cause you’re young.
When you get to the 50s you can’t use cream, bur you doesn’t stop to like white russian
i think the kahlua is probably the most important thing there… otherwise it just tastes like milk.
And he uses both in the scenes where we see him making the drink.
how am i just noticing that it’s the only thing on his bar
So, you’re telling me heroes drink milk? Ok, I’m onboard.
only one of these could be called a hero.
leon is at BEST a very dark shade of morally gray as a former child soldier who was raised to be a hitman by the mob.
and the dude is just the dude. he just wanted his damn rug back.
The opening narration confirms that the Dude is in fact, not a hero (emphasis mine):
[…] I only mention it because sometimes there’s a man… I won’t say a hero, 'cause, what’s a hero? But sometimes, there’s a man. And I’m talkin’ about the Dude here. Sometimes, there’s a man, well, he’s the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that’s the Dude, in Los Angeles. And even if he’s a lazy man - and the Dude was most certainly that. Quite possibly the laziest in Los Angeles County, which would place him high in the runnin’ for laziest worldwide. But sometimes there’s a man, sometimes, there’s a man. Aw. I lost my train of thought here. But… aw, hell. I’ve done introduced him enough.
Leon is a hitman, but he’s also probably learning disabled. He rescued a girl from the mob.
The Dude is just a guy who likes bowling, but he’s pretty cool and that’s enough for me.
His relatability makes him the most heroic of them all in my book.
The Dude Abides.
