Yeah wait, can we not make paintballs with...no animal parts?
Yeah, that's kinda buried in the lead.
"Hey, just FYI, all your paintballs have pork fat in them" would be a more startling revelation.
I’m guessing the shell is made from gelatin or something? Which is made from animal bones. I can’t think of what else would be made from animal.
Pretty sure it's jist the shell the paint is in that uses animal parts, and glycerine can be made from plants too. 🤷♂️
You can definitely get Glycerine from a Bush.
Yes. But would that cost money of the poor investors? Please think of the poor investors.

I hate living in this wheel where everyone steals.
Yeah it sucks, but when we rise it's like strawberry fields.
don't let the days go by
fuck, now I feel old
I know nothing about paintball, but I feel like there has to be vegan paintballs.
Marbles
Damn, you play for keeps
I love how this goes along with another reply saying vegans are too weak to play. Shit, man, I'd like to try paintball but if I'm forced to use marbles then yeah I guess I am too weak lmao
Fuck. I guess you're the one attending paintball with a Claymore.
Soy beans. A tag doesn't count if you catch with your mouth.

Paintbalals
It was just medieval food safety to not eat pork in hot countries. They really need to update their software.
The origin of Abrahamic dietary laws is not certain. There is no obvious benefit in terms of hygiene, also not in ancient times (they long predate "medieval" times). Keep in mind that poultry carries a significant risk of salmonella poisoning.
It has been suggested that the origin might have simply been that pigs are viewed as unclean due to their own diet including carrion. Another speculated reason is that rulers might have wanted to promote poultry due to it being a more economical way of raising livestock.
I am thinking of a Dollop episode that discussed pigs in early New York City. They were the trash clean up before there were people dedicated to the job. They were allowed to just run free and scrounge whatever offal they could find. It could have been less that pigs were unclean, rather pigs kept things clean. If people ate all the pigs, there would be corpses and fecal matter lying around for extended periods of time which would cause disease.
i have a specific unusual food allergy. I always presumed abraham or ishmael or jacob or moses or one of them mythical folk had a food allergy against pigs and said "you know what, if i started a religion about not eating pigs maybe i wouldn't get the runs every time i went out to eat"
“Pork makes me shit so much that Moses could part it, that’s it! It’s banned”
i mean food that makes me shit a lot is banned in the religion i started that's all
isnt mostly pork tapeworm they worry about.
Why would they mention the cloven hoof as a district identifier of haram? Why wouldn't they mention the cleanliness, if that is supposed to be the reason for the ban?
There was also the result of drawing a sharp line between the in-group and everyone else. If we have strict dietary laws but the people on the other side of the hill don’t share them, then it follows that they’re unspeakable barbarians, and that we should not trade or cooperate with them, let alone intermarry, and indeed, it’s acceptable to kill them and take their stuff, as surely such a barbarous people would do the same to us.
That doesn't match up with all the other teaching that all people are the same.
Salmonella can be obtained just by touching chickens it doesn't require eating them. Trichinella is obtained by eating pork, raccoons, foxes, etc
Conjecture: it may have simply been trichinella

Someone needs to explain to me why there’s ANY animal product in a paintball in the first place.
Paintballs are made of gelatin. Gelatin is often just collagen and collagen is basically connective tissue.
Fun fact! This is why E Ink displays use pig products!
Is there a Halal Kindle for the Islamic world?

Hope you aren't a gummy bear fan, cause I have news for you
You know they're not really made of bears, right?
Nooooooo
There are vegan gummy bears though
Yeah. They have improved by a lot in recent years, but the texture unfortunately still isn't comparable to the non-vegan ones.
