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.
that joke is 1000 more annoying then vegans atp
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.
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.
Chad looks like orange Epstein
i want you to know how happy I am that you bring your snafus to the lemmyverse. /gen
Yo why does the “Chad” in this meme look like Jeffrey Epstein?
You names lies, that is… Good :)
You may pass.
haha she was a vegan, exceptional content, true comedy. Will they ever shut up about being vegan? haha I’m so funny
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.
AI vegan. That’s brilliant.
This is so old that you’re just making fun of vegans.
and…?
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.
Her husband, also a vegan, did 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.
Not true. This woman was the first vegetarian to climb this mountain located in Nepal and Tibet.
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.
Oh thank goodness, I saw the link in the photo is to Roosh V forum, and I was like, hell no, I’m not going there
oh what’s roosh v forum
I normally am annoyed by shitting on vegans but somehow this one was perfect and actually made me laugh
Probably because nobody normal took “vegans are weak” thing that seriously.
She died trying to prove the 12 year olds online wrong, and now her death fuels their memes.
It’s the “Completely avoidable tragedy” type of humour.
This had a whiff of being an Onion headline that has been republished elsewhere (it happens). But no, looked into it, she died in 2016.
Bur she did die at the top no?
no, she died just before the summit.
to add insult to injury, her whole purpose to climb “to show that vegans can do it too” was proven earlier that day when another vegan actually reached the summit.
her cold dessicated corpse is still on the mountain right this moment, as a testament to the hubris and folly of a egotistical endeavor that nobody asked for.
she had multiple opportunities to turn back but ultimately her stubbornness won out.
the path of the righteous is often a fools errand.
remember Maria Strydom, for she teaches us that just because you believe you can do it doesn’t mean you can do it.
