*please note i deeply value and respect the vegan movement. i am just critical of how humorously it precipitates in online spaces, particularly this one. :)

    I guess I don’t see the posts you’re referencing.

    Also, I think you meant participates, not precipitates.

        Also a favorite of mine, but that meaning is usually transitive. So it “precipitates <something>”, not simply “precipitates”. A more syntactically equivalent synonym would be “causes” or “leads to”.

        Like “slightly misusing a word on Lemmy precipitates a nerd-off”.

          “manifests” and “incarnates” are also both capable of being transitive, and i in fact use “precipitates” transitively here, it’s just that i kind of left the object of that verb implied rather than stated, most likely because i was rushing to not get cancelled

          an example would be saying just “i like how quietly clouds precipitate” where “rain” is left off because implied. i recognize my sentence was a lot less obvious for sure tho 😝

            I’m glad to see this interaction contributing to Lemmy’s cordial atmosphere.

            Because as they say, if you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the precipitate.
