When the Daily Mail says anybody 'faces fierce backlash', they mean a fierce backlash that they're about to stir up.

[-] smokebuddy@lemmy.today 25 points 3 weeks ago

Fierce backlash - a few irrelevant people made some tweets that got like 14 favourites and half that of retweets even after being embedded in the article all day

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 54 points 3 weeks ago

No, but see, what if a person who isn't vegan accidentally eats some vegan food and likes it?

[-] flamingos@feddit.uk 18 points 3 weeks ago

Hopefully they're not a cat person.

[-] JohnSmith@feddit.uk 4 points 3 weeks ago

I see, we are going meta now.

What if they aren't a cat person, but accidentally eat a cat?

[-] esc27@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

Sometimes creators can be wrong... Hello Kitty is obviously either a cat or a cat person not a human girl, GIF is not pronounced like the U.S. peanut butter brand, and Han shot first.

Username checks out

[-] flamingos@feddit.uk 31 points 3 weeks ago

You might think I'm being factious with that title, but no, these people are genuinely beyond parody.

Daily Mail comment section. mrmingly: "Cancel my NT membership when they started this woke madness, and know of many others who have done likewise.. I joined to support the upkeep of some magnificent estates, not the woke dogma". Uber99 in reply: "me too."

It's a recurring thing.

Right wing astroturfing groups keep trying to get control of the national trust.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/nov/06/right-leaning-group-fails-to-wrest-control-of-national-trust-from-political-takeover

If it's not vegan food, they're complaining about pride, or people explaining where all the money for these big country houses came from.

The group's actually run out of the same place as a Tory think-tank. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/jan/28/national-trust-captured-by-well-funded-fake-grassroots-group-restore-trust

My coffee is WHAT???? 😤

[-] grue@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

If my coffee had to be vegan, I would be kinda upset because it means I couldn't have any dairy cream in it.

If my coffee couldn't be vegan (even served black), I would be even more upset because WTF would they be doing to it to make it inherently not-vegan‽

[-] KimjongTOOILL@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Jello and marshmallows aren't vegan for WTF reasons

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, they usually contain gelatin, which is extracted from animal skins and bones.

Vegan gelling agents are available (and in fact, marshmallows originally used marshmallow roots), but I guess, gelatin is just so cheap, because it's a waste product from animal slaughter.

[-] superkret@feddit.org 2 points 3 weeks ago

Same with most bread, beer, wine, apple juice, potato chips and white sugar.

[-] muix@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 weeks ago

I knew about the others, but what about bread and potato chips is not vegan?

[-] superkret@feddit.org 7 points 3 weeks ago

Bread often contains L-Cysteine, made from hog hair or poultry feathers, as a baking aid. It is labelled as food additive E920.
Potato chips often contain whey powder, and some aromas contain animal products even if you wouldn't expect it.

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

So no more jello in my coffee either?

[-] thetreesaysbark@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 weeks ago

Ah sweet, this'll do a good job removing some of the arseholes from NT locations. Great stuff!

[-] match@pawb.social 6 points 3 weeks ago

i don't know anything about this but I am now very angry that "facetious", "factious", and "fictious" are all words

[-] flamingos@feddit.uk 5 points 3 weeks ago

This is very funny because I meant to put facetious.

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 3 weeks ago

This person clearly forgot when they tried to force their employees to wear pride lanyards, lol

[-] superkret@feddit.org 16 points 3 weeks ago

No more bread rolls and fruit! Unless they're covered in butter! YES, the fruit, too!

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 11 points 3 weeks ago

Being judged for ordering from the vegan menu because the food looks nice is annoying

[-] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 weeks ago

Daily Mail always be capitalizing words in they titles like they never heard of a style guide or proper grammar, or as I like to call it, "Props, Gram"

[-] kokesh@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago
[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 5 points 3 weeks ago
[-] lurch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

Riiight? Should be the whole menu.

[-] 10_0@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago

True, balanced diet fans rise up!
