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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
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

Obligate carnivore is an ecological descriptor. It doesn't mean plants are poisonous, only that in the wild they seek their nutrients from meat and when not available they starve.
In the most extreme case you could startrek replicator some meat, and by logical extension there are steps before that are nutritionally complete and digestible while still being artificially constructed. E.g. by isolating or synthesising nutrients and pellitising it.
It is a fallacy to go from "snakes only eat mice in the wild" to "therefore humans must feed mice snakes" and anyone who doesn't see the extremely obvious flaw in that reasoning is outing themselves as a complete buffoon. Whether it is practicable does not make waving "obligate carnivores" any more respectable.
