Of course vegans will tell you, it’s a dietary restriction.

If you’re even halfway intimate with someone, you’ll likely share a meal or cook for them.

I’m not even vegan, but this particular phrase annoys me hahaha.

Its a catch all punch down cliche for anything where people are trying to improve themselves or the world around them. See crossfit or Linux as other major examples. Its often that they see someone being passionate about something and mocking them for it.

You think linux people DON'T mock others for using windows? Normally in this situation I'd advise you to go use Lemmy for an hour, but...well....here we are, and you still hold that view.

The example is that people mock Linux users with the phrase "How do you know someone uses Linux? Don't worry, they'll tell you!"

That says nothing about how Linux users treat others, only how they are used as fodder for people with low self-esteem.
