There is no way they were the first vegans in 2016. There have been 100+ ascents per year for decades, should have been around 6000 in total as of 2016.
Considering the mountain is in a part of the world where significant parts of the population are de-facto vegans without identifying as such, I highly doubt that no one among the 6k people before them was living on a plant based diet
Yeah and like half of the climbers I know are vegan or at least vegetarian. There is a huge overlap in those groups.
Eww, sourced from rooshvforum.com
No matter my diet, I’m not so sure I’d survive that either. Anyone who’s been up there and found it easy can have a laugh though
Worst vacation ever
If this is the same story I’m thinking of, she and her partner wanted to be the first vegans to climb to the top, to show the world that vegans can do it. Coincidentally, another vegan actually did it like 1-2 days before their attempt.
Ah, I sincerely hope someone told her during her last dying breaths that she wasn’t the first vegan to climb Mount-Whatever and therefore she didn’t actually need to do it.
I sincerely hope that you won’t get the same amount of cruelty in live that you wish upon others in death.
that joke is 1000 more annoying then vegans atp
I’m my experience it’s about a ten to one ratio of people who shit on vegans because they “never shut up about it” vs vegans who actually never shut up about it. So a vegan wanted to show she could climb Mt Everest. She did it, then she died of acute altitude sickness during the descent, something completely unrelated to her diet. Her husband, also vegan, lived. She became one of hundreds of people who have died in that climb, all of whom wanted to prove they could do it. Just let people live their life how they want to. Heaping scorn on someone who died trying to prove themselves isn’t cool.
It’s like right wingers always claiming that gay /trans people are “shoving it down their throat” because they make TV shows for gay people.
Like for one, no they aren’t. And two, that’s interesting phrasing you’ve chosen.
we shouldn’t make fun of people dying just because they’re vegan. That’s tastelsss.
I thought vegans liked tasteless?
That’s the joke, man.
Really? Well don’t I have tofu on my face…
I get the joke, but it’s kind of a shitty joke.
“Haha, you’ve decided morals are more important than flavour”
I mean, yeah. It’s an ethical trade-off?
“Haha, you donated $1 to pay for mosquito nets in third world countries. You’ve decided lives are more important than money”
mosquito nets in third world countries
oooohhh…yeah…about those…
turns out the mosquito nets are devastating local fish populations, because people use them to fish, since they get them as a finished product instead of having to knit nets themselves. and starvation being a bigger immediate threat, they prioritize that over malaria.
the nets are also laced with toxic chemicals (against the mosquitoes), which are extremely toxic to fish.
they also have much smaller holes, so they catch the young offspring as well, leading to rapid depletion of stocks.
so, yeah…good idea in theory, but didn’t turn out so great…
Reductio ad absurdum
Lol this is great
i want you to know how happy I am that you bring your snafus to the lemmyverse. /gen

Chad looks like orange Epstein
You names lies, that is… Good :)
You may pass.
Yo why does the “Chad” in this meme look like Jeffrey Epstein?
I don’t understand the people that make fun of vegans because they “don’t stop talking about it” and then don’t stop talking about how they hate AI and would never use it. You guys are AI vegans, you should understand the passion
edit: before dumbs come at me, I’m not at all supporting AI I’m just comparing the passion os subjects
I consider “AI Vegan” as “AI models trained only on public domain works.”
Huh. Apparently a few of them exist. TIL.
I’ve said this before, but “AI vegan” is a pretty odd term. It’d imply that using AI is somehow a default, entrenched, normalised thing. That not using AI is going against the status quo.
This makes as much sense as calling Linux users “Windows vegans”. Go on. Go say that to some Linux user’s face, I’m waiting.
You think “AI” isn’t the default, normalised thing?
People rarely click on links in search anymore, they’re happy to use the AI summary, iPhones have small LLM models on them, people use it to write reports, others use it to read those reports. Companies implement policy to mandate AI usage even if it’s objectively worse.
I used to be pretty happy with the little extracts provided under the links in the search results.
AI vegan. That’s brilliant.
haha she was a vegan, exceptional content, true comedy. Will they ever shut up about being vegan? haha I’m so funny
There are a lot of vegans and vegetarians who don’t make it their raison d’etre, so I’m sure there have been some who climbed Everest in the past, even if we don’t know about it.
Sir, this is a shitpost.
Of course it’s a joke but jokes normalize ideas. I would never attack it but having a discussion about the underlying message is harmless.
Her husband, also a vegan, did it.
So they have a 50% success rate. Pretty decent.
Not true. This woman was the first vegetarian to climb this mountain located in Nepal and Tibet.
This is so old that you’re just making fun of vegans.
and…?
to be fair, an entire industry and infrastructure popped up in everest to make climbing it much easier for a fee.
so pampered tourists can say they conquered the tallest mountain, when the locals were the ones to do most of the work.
meaning climbing the everest isn’t quite the achievement it used to be.
Thank god she wasn’t also an atheist and a lawyer or we’d never get a word in!
She definitely wasn’t an Arch Linux user.
Wanna bet she did CrossFit to prepare?
The true body killer
or a linux user
I find people who keep making cracks like that far more tedious, unoriginal and unpleasant than any of the groups you just listed.
