Are you saying a vegetable fried this rice?
Ah, the old lemm-a-roo
I don't get it.
Does this help?

It's kind of an internet culture thing to respond like that...
No I'm familiar with the ol' Reddit switcheroo. I don't understand what exactly is being switched in this case.
Yeah, it's a bit of a stretch here. The comment is intentionally mixing things up for comedic effect, but it's not a direct switch of anything...
Damn. I didn’t understand the joke the above user was making and was hoping that by understanding why it’s a switcheroo I could understand the original joke. But now I’m no closer than where I started.
That's an existential crisis I've had after starting to eat vegan. Suddenly everything in your cupboard is a plant, with the exception of salt and sometimes mushrooms.
It's just like: I'll now eat this noodle-shaped plant with this pureed plant and this protein-rich plant and I'll also throw in some tasty plant shreds. Maybe I should also have some plant leaves with a dressing out of plant oil, fermented plant juice and this plant seed paste.
But then I realized that meat, eggs, cheese, milk, and even mushrooms, they're all just processed/digested plants, too. So, there's only plants and salt. Which really didn't make the existential crisis any better, but at least we're all in it together. 🙃
All beings, including us, are descendants of the first single-celled being that appeared on Earth billions of years ago. We share 75% of our DNA with a potato (some people which I know, even more)
