Y'all are way overthinking it. Just say "thanks dawg" to everyone you meet. It even works on dogs!

I also will petition the masses to entertain my personal hill to die on: "dude" is a gender neutral term, and can be so again. As the 1900s-era philosopher Keluardo Joharæon Rice Mitchell, "I'm a dude, she's a dude, he's a dude, cus we're all dudes, hey!"

I believe "Bruh" has replaced dude in common speech. The number of times I have mothers telling their children not to call them bruh is ridiculous.

Comrade or citizen are some classics, bub if you're feeling spicy.

Thank you "kindly" scratches the third word itch. Or depending on your flavor of southern: "I appreciate you" or its derivatives.

I will echo the other poster and say that all anyone has gotta do is CTRL+R in their minds, and replace gendered general addresses ("bro, guy, my man, me mate, girlfriend, mama, baby, girlie, gurl, woman, miss, ma'am, mister, etc, etc, etc") with the word "friend."

Easy, simple, quick, uses pathways in your brain that already exist, and it's just something that makes people feel good and included. Sure, maybe it's a generic greeting at first, but I think eventually people will actually start softening their hearts and making more random friends that way. 🤷 Nothing wrong with a little more sunshine in a world where fucking everybody feels like a puzzle piece that doesn't fit.

... alternatively if you want to invite a bit of chaos to the interaction: "pal"
