Nothing beats the store brand stuff that smells like molten gummy bears and costs 60 cents.

[-] Caitlyynn 3 points 9 hours ago

And us probably radioactive or something

Where my gym people at, drinking Monster White as pre-workout ??

[-] ComicalMayhem@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

What is with the whole internet and white monsters? I tried one and it wasn't much different from the default flavor

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 hours ago

the white monster is SO different than the normal one, have you tried side by side?

[-] fushuan@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

Yeah, store brands imitate the original kinda well, but that tastes like trash for me and I've searched for alternatives for MWhite without success... :(

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 20 points 18 hours ago

Monster tastes good, but its american bullshit.

[-] spujb@lemmy.cafe 10 points 12 hours ago

RAHHHH FUCK OFF CUZ WTF IS A KILOMETER 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅

[-] F04118F@feddit.nl 4 points 10 hours ago

If you are so patriotic, (no searching) how many yards go in a mile? How many in a fathom, a furlong? How many barleys to an inch?

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 hours ago

I HAVE THE FREEDOM TO USE MY GOD GIVEN GOOGLE HOWEVER I PLEASE 🦅🦅🏇🤠🔫

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 2 points 11 hours ago

its a thousand meters :3

[-] solomon42069@lemmy.world 11 points 17 hours ago

I'm so old I see Monster in the group on the right.

Red Bull is the real OG king of energy drinks. The rest are imitations.

[-] Laser@feddit.org 9 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Just realized he died, but the red bull owner also was a right wing populist who had questionable content published through his TV channel. Also the original drink tastes... not great and is quite expensive

[-] solomon42069@lemmy.world 10 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

I mean technically speaking I'm wrong too, the real Red Bull is Krating Daeng which the Austrian right wing guy appropriated and added fizz to to cater to western tastes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krating_Daeng

I love how western culture takes stuff from the east, gives it a little bit of artificiality and marketing speak and now it's a modern western invention!

vanilla soy milk

[-] Midnitte@beehaw.org 3 points 14 hours ago

Now if only I could figure out why rehab Monsters are the only ones to not give me headaches anymore.... even when compared to a different energy drink with similar caffeine...

[-] Zorsith 13 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

Monster and Redbull are nasty. C4 or Reign for me. Celsius seems to ramp up my anxiety for some reason

[-] spujb@lemmy.cafe 2 points 12 hours ago

whatever sweetener is in celcius gives me a headache as soon as i sip it once

[-] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 13 points 21 hours ago

Congrats on your free flight, bozo. Enjoy the concentration camp. Here in freeville, home of the free, you're free to like monster or Red Bull and that's it.

[-] spujb@lemmy.cafe 4 points 12 hours ago

why are we making concentration camp jokes bro. for the record not funny.

[-] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Making jokes about it to shine light on the fact that it's happening right now, and to cope with that

[-] Donkter@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago

Celsius has a crazy amount of caffeine and it's packed into a smaller can than the rest of them.

[-] Zorsith 5 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

The regular Celsius cans have 200mg IIRC, Bang and Reign are higher.

I uhhh, don't really process caffeine normal, i kinda drink them to relax 😶 its not even a tolerance thing, i can go months without, chug one, take a nap.

Edit; although i did down 9 shots (more like 3 small coffee cups full) of really strong espresso in one sitting once. That was not pleasant.

[-] TheFlopster@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago

If high doses of caffeine make you feel relaxed, you may want to look into taking an ADHD assessment, and getting some medication. This is not medical advice. Just a suggestion.

[-] Zorsith 3 points 21 hours ago

Im well aware sadly, just waiting on a psychologist opening...

[-] SendPrudes@lemm.ee 2 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Same boat here. Recently prescribed the vyvase? One and it’s been a total game changer.

But legit would drink coffee before bed to sort of “focus” on sleeping lmao. Was “dialing it back” and still at 4-5 cups a day prior to meds. Now just have a single cup around 1 pm.

A bit sad about it - I love the flavor of coffee. And energy drinks. But at the same time 3 hours after first dose everything in my mind became so much less “aggressive” like my executive wasn’t being pulled. And I could push it.

[-] 000999@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 21 hours ago

Redbull is mid but monster has a certain taste I can't get anywhere else. Keeps me coming back tbh. Plus the neon vitamin piss after drinking it is cool

[-] Arbiter@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

The new norm ain’t the same as the old norm.

[-] sem 1 points 23 hours ago
[-] megopie 6 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

Energy drink brands.

Monster and redbull are the most common.

[-] sem 3 points 23 hours ago

I kinda get it then. I didn't know monster was that common I guess

[-] spujb@lemmy.cafe 4 points 11 hours ago

the other missing piece is that it’s a parody of a transphobic meme: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/real-x-vs-mental-disorders

[-] sem 2 points 10 hours ago

Ah I did not have this context lol

[-] ianhclark510 3 points 23 hours ago

What is the most common energy drink where you’re at?

Green Dragon 4 life

[-] sem 2 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

Probably red bull, Celsius and --reign-- bang, I had to look at the picture again to remember

[-] ianhclark510 1 points 19 minutes ago

Celsius is pretty cool, zero sugar, lots of flavor variety,

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
