    Hey, I tried this. It doesn't work. If you're lifting with your feet a >10 kg baggage, it's very hard to make its weight stable. If it fluctuates too much they will suspecting you're using this trick. Anyway, most airports will ask you to place the baggage on something that is not this near to the floor








  • The first months I went vegan, what saved me is:

    • oat milk and oat for breakfast, plus a banana. This is still my go-to breakfast
    • lentils. I fucking love lentils, they're cheap and tasty and a great source of protein. You can also use them to make pasta with bolognese, it's pretty good
    • rice & (red) beans
    • spinach. Great source of iron and calcium, they taste fucking good and are cheap
    • seitan, tofu, chia seeds. I would just throw them randomly wherever I could
    • of course salad
    • various cereals I used to eat for dinner, like, as a soup or in a salad

    I used to buy a lot of these stuff just to make sure I was getting the nutrients I needed, and in the meantime I experimented with new stuff and learned to do proper groceries. Not that I'm good at cooking now, but I'm definitely better and at least people don't go "lol typical depressing vegan salad" when I bring my packed meal at work


  • I think 2 cups of commercial plant milk each day meets the requirement for B12.

    Where I live (Italy), none of the vegetable milks you find in stores are B12-fortified. You have to go to some of the food stores who sell fortified vegetable milk. This is also the case for nooch, as far as I know it's not a source of B12 "by default" like marmite/vegemite/shiitake mushrooms, you have to make sure you're buying the fortified version

    I personally take a B12 pill every day so I just don't have to make sure I'm getting enough B12. Where I live, a one-year sized bottle costs 20 bucks which is a reasonable price

    Yet black people are more likely to be vegan, 8% of black Americans are vegetarians/vegans - opposed to the 3% of the rest of the population. Ironically I went vegan in the worst period of my life when I was jobless and almost moneyless - while doing groceries I figured out that I could replace meat and some dairy products with food that costs less and is arguably healthier and that doesn't expire in two days in the fridge. What a lot of people fail to realize is that vegan food is not just fancy exotic expensive avocados and seitan and Brazil nuts. All the vegetables, legumes and cereals people already eat every day are the pillars of a plant-based diet, and meat in comparision is fucking expensive. Seriously do you even do groceries? This stupid idea that veganism is costly is just white people bs and I hate how it often comes with the tokenizations of the black community suffering worst material conditions




  • Maybe skimming through old posts with many upvotes to find something to repost might be an idea. Like, sort by all time top and steal some memes, maybe by slightly editing them or re-making them using the same template. I know it's cheating, but the alternative is maling new memes and I'm definitely not good at that :(

    Some that can be recycled, I think. There is also a Telegram channel mirroring what's hot on r/vcj at @vegancirclejerck for stuff that is not obviously taken from /top/all
