Fuck yeah! Glad someone else can see the true path.
That's just like... your opinion man....
No way I’m washing down a slice of chocolate cake with a shot of vodka.
Sooo, washing down a pint of vodka with a slice of cake then?
Sure. Glugging down the lactation of other species intended for their babies is weird. It's weird and should be more stigmatized.
Peak Lemmy for me is reading shit like this and being unsure if it is a joke or not
Hahaha, me too.
I do think it is super weird to drink the breast milk of other animals. At the same time, I wouldn't say that it's a topic I take very seriously.
Are you saying it'd be less weird to glug down human milk?
Well, yes, since we already do that. And human milk is at least from our species.
I personally think that would be very weird, but less weird than drinking the breast milk of other species.
I'll refer you to another response from this wonderfully lively thread:
""What do you like to drink?"
"Milk."
"What's that?"
"This breast juice from other animals. It's super healthy for the percentage of our population that can digest it."
"Oh...Why from other animals?"
"Well, we're not going to drink human breast milk, that would be gross. I mean, we give it to babies. Cow and goat lactation, though, that's for grown-ups.""
If we think about this way, yes it is indeed pretty weird but it has really great nutrients which are crucial for children to grow in a healthy way (in moderation just like with any other food, fruit, vegetable).
I think milk has vitamins and nutrients as well, vitamins and nutrients that can be easily supplemented by other dietary sources.
It's much more the fact that it's just day to day normal to drink breast milk from other animals.
"What do you like to drink?"
"Milk."
"What's that?"
"This breast juice from other animals. It's super healthy for the percentage of our population that can digest it."
"Oh...Why from other animals?"
"Well, we're not going to drink human breast milk, that would be gross. I mean, we give it to babies. Cow and goat lactation, though, that's for grown-ups."
I don't think "it's weird therefore bad" is a good argument. If you're gonna argue for veganism (which I don't have a problem work doing!) I think there are way, way better reasons.
Most restaurants have milk. Just ask for it and stop hanging out with drunks.
Gotta be honest here, I'd rather hang out with drunks than a bunch of milk chugging tea totalers.
I'm lactose intolerant so I don't go around in public drinking glasses of milk.
I'm also a recovering alcoholic so I also don't go around public drinking alcohol.
Then what do you do with your life?!
Not drinking anymore has allowed me to travel the world to five continents, 40 countries, multiple cruises and meet people from all over the world. It's amazing how much money and time you save when you stop drinking, smoking and drugging. It also allowed me to run a small business fixing building repairing houses for over 30 years and save enough money and time and energy to own my own house, multiple vehicles and two other recreational properties.
I still drink milk sometimes though ... just not in public because it makes me fart.
Aye good for you friend! Rereading my comment I realize it probably came off as criticizing your sobriety, so I just wanna clarify I didn't mean that at all! It was just supposed to be a weird joke, like, 'what on earth do you do if not walk around in public all day drinking milk/alcohol?'
But that's fuckin baller, I'm glad you're enjoying your life, it sounds awesome! (And I feel you, I'm lactose intolerant too, so most dairy consumption is done in private XD)
I probably did come off defensive and my apologies as well for any bad feelings .... man I love this community ... thanks for clarifying ... I don't who did right or wrong (or even if anyone did or not) ... all I know is that you made me feel good and I think that's all that matters ... I'll raise a glass of milk to you (I don't think you'll want to sit next to me tho)
Its not that I judge public milk drinkers. I just don't trust public milk.
Drinking milk in public - weird.
Drinking a milk and frozen cream smoothie in public - perfectly normal.
I recently stopped drinking, just kind of organically. I cut down to help cut some calories and ended up stopping altogether.
The pressure is weird at any sort of event. I declined some champagne that was being passed around and the response was "why not? It's free!"
I can't drink alcohol for medical reasons. It interacts badly with one of my prescriptions. It's really weird how often I have to tell people about it. Nobody really pressures me after I say "medical reasons", of course... but I'm very familiar with that confusion people get.
For me it's basically the same reason I don't drink soda. And yet no one questions me when I have an iced tea instead of a soda, but not drinking alcohol requires an explanation.
You know what I hate? In the rare times I order tea at a restaurant (they never boil the water, so it's almost always weak), I ask for milk instead of cream and the waiter looks at me like I asked for some sugar to put on my steak.
Tea with milk is the best thing ever. Everybody always looks at me weird when I put milk in my tea. They're just missing out, to be honest.
The worst part is that one of my friends doesn't mind putting milk in Pepsi but has the audacity to look at me funny when I put milk in tea.
That's only because a glass of milk is kind of gross.
u wot
Milk doesn't have a 50% markup and can make people dance, fight, or fuck
sonetimes I stop and get a single serving bottle of milk at the store to drink on my walk home from work and always feel weird if people see me drinking it... guess now I know I'm not the only one.
alcohol withers your body so much, maybe you don't feel it now, but maybe one day you will wake up looking 20y older than you supposed to be. maybe it sounds harsh, but thas what i fear the most. Thats why i rarely go out - all my friends i know keep drinking, and without participating in it there's really not much to do. I take drinks now or then, but getting shit faced and spending whole Saturday hangover seems kind waste of free time. Fuck milk tho.
This post reminded me how much I cut back on alcohol. This year, I have been drinking 3 times, on my b-day, visiting a friend and once when a friend was over. I'm a mental wreck (clinical depression) so I cannot say I'm feeling better. Maybe I would feel worse if I drank more tho.
