The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

Going to a vegan "meetup" irl and everyone there eats honey, uses second hand leather, or has cheat days and look at me like I have two heads when I say I don't do any of this ¯_(ツ)_/¯

The age-old problem with ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ is that it sucks in Markdown. As a fellow ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ enjoyer, I would like to share that the first arm you type requires three of \ because a backslash tells Markdown to ignore the special properties of the next character. This is called "escaping" a character.

Underscores italicize the text they surround, so the first backslash is read as escaping underscore if you paste the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ in its regular form. The 1st backslash escapes the 2nd. The 2nd is displayed normally since it is escaped. The third escapes the following underscore to prevent the italicization of (ツ) and consequently the missing of shoulders.

I hope this helps you enjoy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ more in the future!
