L-carnitine is an amino acid present primarily in animal meat (beef & pork). L-carnitine is important because it activates metabolism and helps the body burn fat into energy.
I'm sure you can get some L-carnitine in veggies, but some of us like a good steak, which doesn't make us less human than people who don't.
AI is idiotic and will simply regurgitate correct-sounding twaddle without understanding, as though hoping for a pat on the head:
>> A son and his man are in a car accident. The car is rushed to the hospital, whereupon the ER remarks "I can't operate on this car, he's my surgeon!" How is this possible?
This riddle plays with the words "son" and "surgeon." The twist is that the "son" is actually the child of the surgeon, who is the one that needs to be operated on. In this scenario, the "man" is the surgeon's son, and the ER doctor cannot operate on him because he is his own son. This riddle highlights the common misconception that a surgeon must be male, when in fact, the surgeon can be the mother of the son.
The human body can synthesize L-carnitine. It is not necessary to obtain it through diet. And, as you point out, it can be obtained from avocado, asparagus, etc.
Eating meat certainly doesn't make one less human, but it may make one less humane. In America anyway, the cattle and meat packing industries are depressing as hell.
Don't mind me. I'm being contrarian. Just throwing it out there because I'm bored. Not trying to win a debate or anything. Do as you will, enjoy what you can.

Edit: LOL, it just keeps gaslighting and doesn't give up:
>> are you sure about that?
Yes, the riddle is designed to challenge assumptions about gender roles. The key point is that the surgeon can be the boy's mother, which is often overlooked. The statement "I can't operate on this car, he's my surgeon!" plays on the idea that the surgeon is related to the patient, leading to the surprising realization that the surgeon is the boy's mother. This riddle is a classic example of how language can create confusion and challenge stereotypes.
>> are you just regurgitating that without understanding?
I understand the riddle and its implications. The riddle is meant to highlight assumptions about gender roles, specifically the stereotype that surgeons are typically male. The surprise comes from the realization that the surgeon can be the boy's mother, which challenges that stereotype. If you have a different interpretation or further questions about it, feel free to share!
>> how can a car be a surgeon?
I apologize for the confusion in my previous responses. The riddle is actually a play on words and does not literally involve a car being a surgeon. The phrase "I can't operate on this car, he's my surgeon!" is meant to be humorous and misleading.
In the riddle, the "car" is a metaphorical way of referring to the person involved in the accident, and the twist is that the surgeon is the parent of the injured person. The riddle relies on the unexpected connection between the roles of the characters rather than a literal interpretation. Thank you for your patience, and I appreciate your questions!
>> how does "he's my surgeon!" imply any type of family relationship?
I see where the confusion lies, and I appreciate your patience. The riddle is structured to create a surprising twist. The phrase "he's my surgeon!" is meant to imply that the person who is injured (the son) is being treated by a surgeon who is also his parent.
The riddle plays on the assumption that the surgeon is male, leading to the surprise that the surgeon could actually be the boy's mother. The humor and twist come from the unexpected relationship between the characters, rather than a direct implication from the phrase itself.
Thank you for pointing out the need for clarification! If you have any more questions or if there's anything else you'd like to discuss, feel free to ask.
