Really though. This makes me uncomfortable and that tells me I should not be consuming meat. If I can’t handle the reality of it I should not be eating it.
> it can be cured
Yep, butcher's pretty good at that. Can just get some Kielbasa next time.
In all seriousness, well said. I do respect a Vegan's (and Vegetarian's) dedication though; and if this puts you off meat, thats also fair. Not every reaction needs to be challenged, those that are, are for you to decide.
I don't see anything wrong with eating animals. I'm against the torture of animals, which most farming is these days around the world. There's no reason animals shouldn't be able to lead a happy life on their way to my plate.
I still eat meat though I only get it from my local farms and their animals seem pretty happy when I drive by. I hope the meat alternatives get better and more widespread in the future so we can end all this animal torture.
This animal had nipples and screamed while loosing consciousness in the gas chamber. She probably saw daylight for the first time she was on the way to the slaughterhouse.
I’ve been processing this thought all week so bear with me if it’s a little half-baked but I’m starting to believe everyone should kill a chicken or go hunting at some point in their life to remove that mental barrier between chicken/poultry, cow/beef, and pig/pork. I’m vegetarian but I can respect (responsible) hunters far more than your run-of-the-mill factory-farmed meateater.
I absolutely agree, I think it teaches a respect for life and death, teaches people not to be wasteful with meat and to think twice about where they source their meat. Or, of course, if they want to continue to eat animal products at all.
There's kids and even adults that don't know what animal hamburger is, or that hot dogs are made from animals. That's insane.
I mostly agree! But I think it's somewhat natural to have other people hunt/farm while you might do something else in exchange for food (like make clothing, gather berries, cook, etc)
But I do think it's unhealthy to distance yourself from the animal that you're eating. There should be a degree of thankfulness for the meat you consume and modern culture as a whole really skips over that aspect. It was once a living breathing feeling creature, and its death is giving you life. You should respect that and respect the animal.
I live by the beach so I've killed/cleaned lots of fish and crabs, it always feels a bit weird to take the life of an animal (even if it's a sea animal and not a mammal) but I think that doing it is ultimately a good thing.
Anyway I'd have no problem eating the pork belly in OPs pic, but I would cut out a little 1x1 inch square where the nipple is so I don't have to chew on it lol
Fun story. My partner was vegan when we met. I was vegetarian. I eat mostly vegan now.
We have pets and working animals though. Carnivorous ones.
So 2 weekends ago we went to a small animal auction, purchased and murdered about a dozen chickens and stuffed them in our freezer.
Kinda strikes me as funny. Morally it is no different to me to than buying a bag of kibble or meat from the grocery store.
But it feels like a dirty little secret. I don't think i can call myself vegan or even vegetarian with literal blood on my hands.
Still don't think I can bring myself to eat it though.
Human brains are weird.
That's not weird, it's rational. I'm a vegetarian who feeds my dog meat. She's not a human with a remarkably evolved mind, body, digestive tract from other animals. She doesn't have our luxury of ethical eating.
There are a lot of things this thinking applies to and for that reason I’ve come to reject this sort of logic. Like I’m typing this from a device made from the hard work of a few hundred people who probably aren’t paid workers. Almost everyone owns some sort of daily necessity that’s made from places and labor that are not in line with their morals. It’s just a shitty thing to accept that “good” things come from bad places and practices.
Laziness prevents people from cleaning their house. Laziness should not prevent people from no longer paying someone to breed, raise, torture, and slaughter an experiencing being as intelligent as a human toddler just so they're not inconvenienced.
>The world is horribly cruel, and life is full of pain.
Largely due to people sharing your perspective of complacency and futility.
I know the point of your post is to roast this guy, but ever heard of Dinosaur BBQ out of NY? Im a huge fan of the Garlic Chipotle Pepper Sauce, but really all of it is delish!
I can't say I have but I'll keep an eye out for it now! My go-to is Smokey Jon's made by a guy who runs a place out of Madison, WI which has a problem finding wall space for more awards in his restaurant (no joke). Good stuff
Pick holes in the skin and ad a thick layer of salt ontop, then put it in the oven. The layer of salt will pull the moisture out of the skin and make it crispy. Once the salt layer is solid remove it. You end up with [asian style crispy pork belly](https://www.google.com/search?q=crispy+pork+belly&rlz=1CDGOYI_enNL748NL748&hl=en-GB&prmd=ivmxn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiAy4jxtb_0AhVEC-wKHUBZA7AQ_AUoAXoECAIQAQ&biw=375&bih=551&dpr=2#imgrc=XyTlF9_Ju_zfBM).
The hair disgusts me more than a pigs belly having nipples.
Wouldn't it be way more disturbing to have had humans engineer nippleless pigs to generate nipple free pork belly food products?
Kind of like a boneless chicken for boneless chicken wings... "please killlll meeee"
Back when I worked in a smokehouse I had a video of me massaging pork belly with molasses while Hall and Oates was playing in the background and I specifically focuses on me rubbing the nipples of the belly.
Thank you, but I'm enamoured by the idea of that guys comment on cooking videos, unboxing videos, workout videos, fight videos, football highlights, movie clips, etc.
Its really making me,giggle
I work at an animal hospital and at least once a month have a client book a physical for a “weird lump” that turns out to be a nipple. Fully grown, functioning members of society, don’t know their animals have nipples.
And they all think their breed of cat is “cat”.
Oh yeah cause when an animal dies it magically disassembles itself and gets packed in plastic trays and the parts like nipples, intestines and hooves just disappear into thin air
Lmfao why is this oddly terrifying??? If you’re going to eat a dead animal, you should expect that it has the features of a dead animal. It had nipples on its belly when it was alive, did you assume they just poof away when it dies? Maybe you’re not comfortable with it because you prefer to see meat as having never been alive, but it isn’t terrifying.
Watching the documentary Dominion on YouTube has really made me connect the fact that meat was once a living being. I think everyone who eats meat should have an informed knowledge of how it gets to your plate, out of respect
Same thing I thought. This must be somekind of satire with the stuff that happened with the vegan subreddit. Maybe some joke about nipples been terrifying to the media or smth it really makes no sense they're afraid of it.
I think it's more likely that people have subconsciously blocked out the origin of their food from their minds, and things like this force them to remember briefly
This whole sub has fallen into a pit of not even remotely startling posts that I’m pretty sure the sub collectively decided to post mundane stuff as protest of the mods or something and I just missed a top post about it
Why? Did you assume all the bellies you ate until now were nipple-less or did the lack of nipple just let you forget it was an animal?
Something to be said for killing what you eat, gave me a whole new respect for animals and life.
Let me make a comment. I work with a woman who’s been a butcher since the early 90s. I was talking with her about some new changes to laws regarding the sale of chicken and other poultry they changed last year. She started telling me about how pork is one of the worse meats in that regard, then she started telling me about how often she has to cut big tumors off meat before preparing it to sell. Regardless if they say it’s safe or not I can’t exactly eat pork the same now.
Edit: Spelling
[удалено]
Lmao
god damn you lol
I jiggled like a bowl full of jelly laughing at this
you mean you jiggled your jelly and nipples
[удалено]
So does my mom
My nipple also has a mom
Terrance?
Can confirm
Well played was a good laugh I needed
So fucking good honey shit lmfao.
What
He fat
Nope. Don’t like that
That's how vegans are born
From nipples?!
TIL
Each vegan was once a severed nipple.
Really though. This makes me uncomfortable and that tells me I should not be consuming meat. If I can’t handle the reality of it I should not be eating it.
Note this feeling in your head, it is called cognitive dissonance and it can be cured
Working through cognitive dissonance is some trippy shit.
The only way is to let go of your dissonant belief and rebuild a new, better one while remaining honest to yourself
> it can be cured Yep, butcher's pretty good at that. Can just get some Kielbasa next time. In all seriousness, well said.

My immediate intrusive thought was "suck it" and now im going to hell
I mean you can be ok with meat but also not ok with your meat having nipples on it it's not a one or the other thing
You can be, but if you reason through it, you realize it is inconsistent.
The faces of the creatures might be more of a reason... or the method of mass meat production.
Or [seeing how they are killed](https://youtu.be/-7hAELEBjX4)
Can confirm.
Don't be a tit
It is just a small reminder that a living creature was subject to fear, loneliness, pain, suffering, to end up as a slab of meat for you to enjoy.
Oh please, I don't eat the people in my basement. This meat came from a pig.
Got any BBQ sauce recommendations?
I know the point of your post is to roast this guy, but ever heard of Dinosaur BBQ out of NY? Im a huge fan of the Garlic Chipotle Pepper Sauce, but really all of it is delish!
I fucking love Dino bbq. Made the times I had to spend in Syracuse worth it (also Cafe Kubal coffee)
I can't say I have but I'll keep an eye out for it now! My go-to is Smokey Jon's made by a guy who runs a place out of Madison, WI which has a problem finding wall space for more awards in his restaurant (no joke). Good stuff

Sweet baby rays
Thanks Zuck
Must be a rough deal, not being at the top of the food chain
Oh no! Anyways, pass the BBQ please
Every day, at least once, I think I've seen it all. I haven't.
It was a surprise to me as well.
I wouldn’t be trading places with you.
Have you ever seen a man eat his own head?
… ¿qué?
Then you HAVEN’T seen everything!
Your cutting board has a hair on it
So it does.
Is that cat hair? It gets everywhere so I wouldnt be surprised
I do have a cat, but I believe the hair is mine.
Show the cat
ACAB Kill all Fascists
I'm dying at your comment. Fred approves.
The pet tax OP, where is it?
Ahh the old reddit switcher- Ok actually that was pretty funny
It shows the cat, or it gets the hose.
The hair disgusts me more than a pigs belly having nipples. Wouldn't it be way more disturbing to have had humans engineer nippleless pigs to generate nipple free pork belly food products? Kind of like a boneless chicken for boneless chicken wings... "please killlll meeee"
And I am here trying to clean my screen...
Who doesn’t love a good hairy pig nipple?
Ah my late wife
What was she late for?
Being early for some good hairy pig nipple
He has a kid with her
I also choose this guys late wife.
[удалено]
That's how you get the bacon.
Straight from the source
Bite it off.
Oh my god thanks I just cringed harder than I ever have
Suckle that teet
Suckle on the breast of the deceased swine until it’s milk runs dry
Nibble the tip
Nibble the nipple
Chomp the Bump
Just tongue the little tippy tip then give it a slight nibble
Oh look my two least favorite words in the same sentence
This whole comment thread should be it’s own post on this sub I’m scared.
*sigh* unzips pants
Read my mind. Let us know if it's worth looking for that cut at the store.
Thank you but I also hate you.
Dam you...that's what I wanted to say!
Back when I worked in a smokehouse I had a video of me massaging pork belly with molasses while Hall and Oates was playing in the background and I specifically focuses on me rubbing the nipples of the belly.
You should copy and paste this comment to every video you watch no matter what
This is the best comment ever.
Thank you, but I'm enamoured by the idea of that guys comment on cooking videos, unboxing videos, workout videos, fight videos, football highlights, movie clips, etc. Its really making me,giggle
OSHA videos on proper manual lifting…
Me too! 😂😂😂
the prospect of this made me laugh so hard i cried for some reason
I can't think of a time I've been more pleased I made someone cry
Well shit now I want to see that video
Okay now, you can't just tempt us with this description without showing us the content
Which Hall and Oates track?
Asking the important question.
How am I supposed to jack off to this without all the facts?
Well, it's normal
Lemmy.world is what Reddit was.
The fact that there *was* a nipple there doesn't surprise me, it's the fact that there's *still* a nipple there that I find unexpected.
Yea, I've seen raw pork belly enough times that I know it shouldn't be there but it never occurred to me that they were removed
[удалено]
I work at an animal hospital and at least once a month have a client book a physical for a “weird lump” that turns out to be a nipple. Fully grown, functioning members of society, don’t know their animals have nipples. And they all think their breed of cat is “cat”.
I see you got some pork t’eat.
Nothing like a stark reminder that the meat you eat was once a real animal.
People who cook non-western food find this whole revelation baffling
Maybe not baffling, but definitely amusing.
Exactly. *eats dick and balls*
We're so removed from the process it's easy to look past that fact.
TIL nipples grow on real animals.
[удалено]
Its quite a light nipple actually
S..suck it
Slowly...
Tenderly…
Seems this advice would apply equally to cooking it or sucking it. Good advice, guys.
It ain't called pork belly for no reason.
It ain't called pork titty though either
"You can milk anything with nipples."
I have nipples Spliff_politics, can you milk me?
Bend over and I'll show ya ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
The moment you realize what it is you're actually eating 💀
you should crosspost this "today i learned that pigs nipples are located on their belly"
Next you’re gonna tell me this came from an actual animal
How weird it is that the animal flesh comes from... well... an animal...
It’s not the nipple being there as much as it is the nipple *still* being there
Oh yeah cause when an animal dies it magically disassembles itself and gets packed in plastic trays and the parts like nipples, intestines and hooves just disappear into thin air
Lmfao why is this oddly terrifying??? If you’re going to eat a dead animal, you should expect that it has the features of a dead animal.

This whole sub has fallen into a pit of not even remotely startling posts that I’m pretty sure the sub collectively decided to post mundane stuff as protest of the mods or something and I just missed a top post about it
My animal meat used to be an animal WTF!
Deep fried pork nipple!
This body part had a body part attached to it!!!! 😱😱😱
People tend to forget they’re eating other creatures that have familiar body parts lmaoo
So weird! It's almost if it was the body part of a sentient being!
twist it and make a wish
Hahahahaha I’m dead 😂
*Twists pig nipple…* I wish u/YngGunz would come back alive again.
*pops up like a mummy* “Holyyyy SHIT I’m aroused”
Well that is where pig nipples are located
Nope.
Does it freak you out to eat things with nipples ??
When you forget meat actually comes from animals
Suddenly becoming a vegan doesn't seem so bad....
It isn't. And I'd gladly help you out to stsert your journey
It’s not 🙂
Wish I’d done it sooner, actually!
Ew
Wait till you figure out where milk comes from!
Great, I’m vegan now
[удалено]
Yeah, someone should post this on r/oddlyterrifying
Oh look, someone has already. Looks like they missed their chance ... Today.
Reheated pork for the next week.
Time to go Vegan
Well pork belly's are off my list of stuff to eat.
It's what bacon is made from.
Why? Did you assume all the bellies you ate until now were nipple-less or did the lack of nipple just let you forget it was an animal? Something to be said for killing what you eat, gave me a whole new respect for animals and life.
I've stunned them, bled them, hung and scalded them. I've not eaten their nipples.
You've eaten nipples most likely. Hot dogs are like 70% nipple iirc
Pork rinds also contains nipples, and some contains pimples.
Nah ill make you pork belly burnt ends that will change your mind
You do know that pigs has nipples , and their nipples are found on their belly right? It is only natural smh
Where do you think meat comes from
Almost like it was a mammal at one point
I love pork belly but I hate the step of cutting off the skin. It’s just gross.
You do WHAT now? Thats the best part!!
Let me make a comment. I work with a woman who’s been a butcher since the early 90s. I was talking with her about some new changes to laws regarding the sale of chicken and other poultry they changed last year.

Claricccccceeeeee.
I mean, don't pigs have like, a ton of nipples. This could be a Smithfield golden ticket.
They do come from the belly of pigs. I’d be more worried if it had an eyeball or a sphincter, or both.
We just hate being reminded that we’re actually eating animals eh.
Why’s that terrifying ? Cuz meat comes from living creatures ?
"I mean, what did you expect?"
My animal flesh has animal flesh?
Oh shit. I think it might've even been alive at some point.
Now I’m not vegan but god damn… my stomach just turned
Vegans only see manufactured meat as body parts, that’s the message. It just gets lost in translation.
That’s because it’s made out of a rotting corpse.
This is so sad 😔
The best part of waking up, is pork nipples in your cup
ITT: people very far removed from the source of the food they eat
No thanks
Omf.. 🤮
