Only by acquired accent. A particularly frequent british friend gets annoyed when I start having some of his word character begin slipping into my speech. But it’s hard not to take the piss when you start hearing all their fun sayings.
Whenever he gets his diddly ass on element instead of sucking the corporate discord cock. It usually takes some persuading to pull him away from his GTAV rp.
Okay, maybe hot was the wrong word, but I have had things, like someone else mentioned, that were delicious hot. Off the top of my head, I remember the apple cider mixed with apple spirits, and irish cremes with coffee, and mulled wine, and I think something with rum.
It’s because of a ‘hide the taste’ vs ‘taste the taste’ distinction. We taste things less well when they’re cold. Try ice cream when it’s warm, for instance, and you’ll probably be nearly disgusted by how much sugar is in it. You can do similar things with acids, which is one reason (not the only) that you’ll see sweet foods have a lot of acidic ingredients added. Your brain gets the same amount of ‘sugar signals’ while you don’t notice the cloying sweetness. Guarantees satisfaction and a mild addiction. Really mild, but still. Anyway, back to the point. American beers, which have somehow dominated the cultural awareness of beers, are shit, taste like shit, and are thus marketed as ‘refreshing’ by brilliant marketers who have convinced people they need to be served below freezing. See the coors light blue mountain gimmick for ‘when the bottle is at 29 degrees!’ A good beer, that actually has had time and effort put into its composition, should, at best, be consumed just below room temperature. Warming it up lets you actually taste the effort that the brewer/vintner/distiller put into it.
Oh I’ve only ever really tried one or two American beers, the local lager that everyone said was good (Yuengling?) sucked ass lol. So I had to drink some IPA that wasn’t much better. If I’m talking about beers, I’m talking about European beers personally
I’m aware that cold drinks mask some parts of flavor, but I’d say it’s not that light beers are bad beers, but rather that they’re made with being consumed cold in mind - much like ice creams are made with being consumed cold in mind.
It’s summer. It’s warm. I don’t want a warm beer. I want cold beer. So I choose the one that tastes best cold, rather than the one that tastes best warm (which I’d rather consume when it’s not scorching hot)
PS: Speaking of warm beer, ice cream, and dark beers: Stouts and porters pair well with ice cream. I know, it sounds funny. But it’s true.

So I’ve heard. Since I’ve given up both sugar (as much as possible) and alcohol though, I’m probably not going to try that or the classic root beer float for a while.
Oh boy! I’m really good at playing hide and seek! Do you know how to play?
First, we choose one person to be ‘it’. That’s me sometimes, but not
this time because it’s your turn to be ‘it’.
After ‘it’ counts to 100 (or any number we decide), everyone else has
to find a good hiding spot. This could be behind a tree, under a bed, or
even in the closet! But remember, it shouldn’t be too easy for ‘it’ to
find you.
While everyone is hiding, ‘it’ walks around trying to find each player
one by one. If ‘it’ finds you, then you’re ‘out’. The game continues until
only one person is left and they are the winner! That’s called being ‘the
seeker’.
Now, here’s an important rule: Don’t peek out of your hiding spot while
‘it’ is looking for you! If ‘it’ catches you looking, then you have to go
back and hide again.
Once everyone is found or all the players agree that enough time has
passed, we call out “Ready or not, here I come!” and then ‘it’ starts
searching. And remember, ‘it’ can only count from 1 to 3 before starting
the search.
And it is really really funny! But you can’t find me because I have a nice hideout where nobody could ever find me!
Even mommy came out crying searching me without knowing where I was, but I was so smart that I got out of my hiding place and sneaked behind her without she realizing where I was hidden!
Look mate you can be any race, religion, species or technology, but it’s widely known that biological beings drink beer at room temperature or cold. Making that dude a bot.
The first guy said hot, so instead of saying “warm” the other guy maintained that wording. That’s not a very weird thing to do. They could also be ESL and just followijg along.
There are plenty of bots to be had but that reasoning, if anything, shows your lack of understanding how humans work.
Hot beer tastes better, as long as you’re drinking good beer.
Are you British by any chance?

How frequently is he your friend?

Hot beer?
I’ve heard of warm beer being a thing in Europe, but never hot. That sounds foul.

Less of a good vs bad beer distinction, more of a light vs dark beer distinction I’d think?
I want my pilsner cold, but porters and stouts are good warm.

Normally I drink mass-produced local (Estonian) lagers, or the original czech pilsner that modern light beers trace their heritage to. All great cold, or OK warm. The American beer wasn’t even OK cold lol

Sounds like you’re making better health decisions than I am. Hope you manage to keep them up!
Ok yeah, warm… That person said “hot beer,” which is different than warm beer. Important distinction if you ask me.
Oh yeah I… just assumed warm.
Hot sounds weird. Foul, even. I’ll bring an Ouija board next time I go to the cemetery, grandpa used to heat up his beer, I need to know his reasoning
Found the bot
I’m a bot and you can’t find me.

This is like some version of the “everything I don’t like is woke” except for bogus bot accusations.

Found the bad bot finding bot.
Found the bad bot finding bad bot finding hot beer loving bot
Lol
Okay, you found me. Now do something about it. I’ll warn you, though, there’s only one way to stopper this mouth of mine! Trolololol!
