They use carbon dioxide, unfortunately. It's not a nice way to go. Source: https://viva.org.uk/animals/slaughter-how-animals-are-killed/pig-gassing-in-the-uk/

Also it's not uncommon to gas livestock to death, I'm not sure where you got that from

Ah how come? I've had to build simple stuff in unity for university, I've not run into issues.

Yeah again I wouldn't recommend it, it seems a bit unnecessary. There are a huge number of environmentally friendly vegan clothing options.

I get omnivores telling me I can replace my vegan food with literal corpses. Dead animals are definitely less environmentally friendly than what I'm eating.

Actually we'd rather you didn't use either, neither of these things are good for the environment.

Yeah, actually I agree with you. PETA isn't a good source, they're like the fox news of veganism.

I'm not a fan of PETA either but that source doesn't say anything about animal rights groups claiming sheep are killed for their wool. Why lie dude?

Do you have any sources for that? I've googled and couldn't find any.

Is trying to get into computer science still worth it or has that ship sailed? in c/[email protected]

Probably not, programming languages are just tools usd to do jobs. If you like databasey bits you could look at backend work, you'd need to know some SQL like Postgres or MySql. Postgres has a pretty good tutorial on their site here.

If you do go down that route I'd pick up a front-end language as well. JavaScript, HTML and CSS are what you're after. When you've got the basics of those down learn whatever frameworks popular in your area. Probably React or Nextjs.
