TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Yes. No sentient being had to suffer and die to provide that product. So replicated meat, leather, or other "animal products" are vegan imo. But I also think concepts like vegan and vegetarian will have evolved in the replicator era.
What about wool and eggs and milk though? These are not vegan but the animal does not die to produce them.
Fun fact: Like humans, other mammals like cows do not constantly produce milk year round. They only produce milk after having been pregnant. So, to keep cows producing, they are forcibly artificially inseminated year round. After giving birth each time, it is not financially viable to raise the constant stream of offspring, so the calves are simply slaughtered. So, while the animal producing the milk does not die, in a roundabout way, death is still a byproduct.
Fuck, wouldn’t want to hear the unfun facts
This isn’t even true. Lactation can be induced in humans without pregnancy. Read a book.
"They only produce milk after having been pregnant" is just a dumbed down way of saying "pregnancy is what releases the hormones that stimulate lactation". The point still stands that mammals do not lactate at all times.

those are vegetarian.
