Was that around the time when they had bacon flavored everything and motherfuckers were getting bacon tattoos?

The Bacon Tuxedo was from 2007, and when that happened I remember thinking “Ok, this bacon thing has gone too far.” The Beggin Strips “bacon bacon bacon… It’s Bacon!!” commercial first aired in 1989.

I knew beggin’ strips were way before, but I remember a brief period where there were bacon mints, bacon soap, bacon soda, bacon candy, bacon tattoos…bacon everything. I want to say it wasn’t long after a whole bunch of folks were getting those mustache tattoos on their fingers but I’m getting older and my perception of time is warped.

I think this post must’ve been made at the tail end of “the narwhal bacons at midnight, lol holds up spork I’m so random” age of the Internet.

I haven’t heard a peep about bacon in ages.

Oh sure, Everyone wants free love but the one time you pork pork, it’s suddenly wrong, what I and a consenting breakfast does in the bedroom or fridge is none of your business.

I’ve heard there’s a seaweed that can be prepared to seem pretty close to bacon. I eat real bacon on occasion but I’d love to try the seaweed if I could ever find it.

As a non-vegan, sometimes alternatives are delicious. Like I drink oat milk because it’s way better than cow milk. I also love vegan breakfast sausage. Now I’m really curious about this seaweed

Sort of tangential, but I accidentally left out some nori seaweed sheets (like the super plain kind) on a humid day, so just tried toasting them a lil in the toaster oven, and it made them good.

Perfect for a crunchy sushi handroll.

I’m a meatasaurus but I had veggie sausage in elementary school and one day decades later I needed it and I eat it all the time now it’s so good.

Welcome

Welcome to c/vegan@lemmy.world. Broadly, this community is a place to discuss veganism. Discussion on intersectional topics related to the animal rights movement are also encouraged.

What is Veganism?

‘Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals …’

— abridged definition from The Vegan Society

Rules

The rules are subject to change, especially upon community feedback.

  1. Discrimination is not tolerated. This includes speciesism.
  2. Topics not relating to veganism are subject to removal.
  3. Posts are to be as accessible as practicable:
    • pictures of text require alt-text;
    • paywalled articles must have an accessible non-paywalled link;
    • use the original source whenever possible for a news article.
  4. Content warnings are required for triggering content.
  5. Bad-faith carnist rhetoric & anti-veganism are not allowed, as this is not a space to debate the merits of veganism. Anyone is welcome here, however, and so good-faith efforts to ask questions about veganism may be given their own weekly stickied post in the future.
    • before jumping into the community, we encourage you to read examples of common fallacies here.
    • if you’re asking questions about veganism, be mindful that the person on the other end is trying to be helpful by answering you and treat them with at least as much respect as they give you.
  6. Posts and comments whose contents – text, images, etc. – are largely created by a generative AI model are subject to removal. We want you to be a part of the vegan community, not a multi-head attention layer running on a server farm.
  7. Misinformation, particularly that which is dangerous or has malicious intent, is subject to removal.
