*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.
no i mean precipitates, it’s one of my favorite words
e: a synonym would be “manifests” or “incarnates”
Wow, I had no idea my known definition of precipitate was so low down the list of its meanings. Thanks!
and thank you for letting me flex my favorite word :)
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.
Also a favorite of mine, but that meaning is usually transitive. So it “precipitates ”, 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 😝
