Jfc why does Lemmy hate beer so much? I guess it’s because many Lemmings are socially isolated, giving them fewer positive associations from using alcohol in a social context within their own lives. But maybe the international users are also a factor; people of European extraction are significant outliers compared to the rest of the world when it comes to beer consumption.
Edit for clarity: Europeans and North Americans drink a lot of beer compared to other regions of the world, so maybe it’s more common to be like “ew beer” in other countries. In my personal experience, even people who don’t drink aren’t usually bothered by casual consumption, but maybe that’s because I come from a country with a relatively high rate of alcoholism.
Lemmy doesn’t hate beer, it hates women. You think they’d be going on about a guy drinking a beer in a picture?
I’m Canadian, I like beer… we all like beer here. Like what else are you going to drink, water? Gross.
Because I don’t like the taste?
That’s fine but there are several commenters who immediately attacked the girl who is drinking a beer. Maybe it’s more of a thing about women, actually. I just felt like the hostility was unexpected and was trying to understand why
It’s actually pretty funny because the first comment I saw here was warning about how misogynistic the other comments are. Curious, I sorted by controversial only to find the most controversial comment is about beer hahaha
I didn’t know it was a general opinion on here lol, I don’t like beer either , it just tastes like liquid bread and even though I love bread the liquid version feels wrong, I like something fruity like a mojito or a cocktail! Generally though I don’t drink alcohol.
Beer doesn’t only taste like liquid bread, it is liquid bread.
She’s the only one who looks fun enough to date…
wow. maybe because the others arent looking to date. because they are engaged/married
I only date married chicks, they’re cheaper.
Also hotter than all her friends. Marriage is a mug’s game anyway.
Nah. There are at least two in that line up that are cute. In fact some people thinking drinking like a lush is a huge turn off.
You’ve been too sober for too long and it has affected your judgement. Which one will it be, sport? Moonface, Grandma or the skeletal ghost of benedict cumbersnatch?
Who says I am sober? Just because I don’t see women that are wasted as attractive?
Evidence of one beer, wasted? Whatever GladiusB.
In Germany we say “lieber Frau und Kind erschießen, als ein Tropfen Bier vergießen”. (better to kill wife and children, than to waste a drop of beer).
No we don’t say that.
Hehe i drink beer im so fun hoho
More that they’re willing to pose like this for the picture
Seems like they’re all willing to pose like that for a picture. Do you think girl in purple came up with the idea and executed it all on her own? Looks to me like she had at least three (maybe four, depending on who’s taking the picture) equally fun friends who also thought this would be hilarious.
They’re all willing to pose but only one of them is being self-deprecating in the picture, the others are getting to show off - which is fine, nothing wrong with that - but the only outlier here is the girl with the beer so we don’t really learn anything about anyone but her.
Speculating on motives is pointless, I could say it was the idea of the most recently married one of the three who’s being a removed to the girl in purple, and purple felt pressured into doing it because she always gets harassed for being “no fun” or something.
You are making a lot of negative assumptions about girls you do not know. To me, this looks like a funny spin on the “omg look I’m engaged photo” (which there’s nothing wrong with, by the way, even though you claim it’s for attention. What’s wrong with that? Sometimes things happen to people and you want to share. So what), where four friends happen to be engaged at once except one, so they’re taking a silly photo they all agree to be in.
Your thinking smacks of misogyny in that you’re assuming that all of these girls are being horrible to each other because of some stupid assumption society has about that being “just how groups of women are”. It’s not true, and it’s stupid.
These comments are terrible.
Sometimes Lemmy feels like a subscription to r/incels…
Looks to me like she didn’t know what else to do in the picture so she’d take a sip then 🤔
Or they all collectively thought this was hilarious and set it up. Why would three friends line up to take a coordinated ring-shot with their friend who isn’t engaged?
Purple? Did you misspell lavender?
Lavender is darker. That’s lilac
Where my beer nerds at.
Can we ID that label?
Looks ballast point-y. Given general sales and color… Is that a sculpin? Perhaps grapefruit?
That’s my vote
Edit: yeah it’s gotta be sculpin. Diagonal fat orange-ish fish. I see enough pink to presume grapefruit and not regular or habanero…
I’m counting like 12 pixels in the original pic but hot damn I think you got it. Well done.
Real beer nerds wouldn’t admit to knowing what a Ballast Point looks like since they got bought out by AB like 10 years ago.
Real beer nerds would know they got bought by Constellation (Corona, Pacifico) not AB InBev.
Real beer nerds would also know that Constellation sold them to a group of Brewers (Kings Convicts) in Chicago 5 years ago.
Grapefruit scuplin came before the buyout. So there’d be no shame in recognizing this era of their branding even if you were right.
Don’t try to out beer-nerd me, Holmes! Homie don’t play 🤓
they are so proud of their rings
Are they stupid? You can just buy rings at a jewellery store you don’t need to be married to wear rings. They legally cannot forbid you from buying a gold ring if your not married
she cute
Hah if you’re not married you should drink about it haha just self medicate your frustrations with destructive forms of addictive substances 🤪
