fische_stix, in Gay Water, a vodka soda that's a response to the Bud Light transphobia

I like the idea. As a straight guy who drinks vodka and soda/tonic I get told my drink is gay from time to time. Now nobody will feel the need to inform me since it’s printed right on the can.

sirboozebum,

This comment made me laugh out aloud at home.

EssentialCoffee,

They’ll still point it out to you.

My husband gets told there are pronouns on his badge all the time, as if he didn’t know they were there.

    nantsuu,

    You probably think that "sunrise" means the sun is literally moving upward too, don't you?

    TopRamenBinLaden, (edited )

    As bad as this take is, I actually do think transphobic is too light of a term for these assholes. Transphobic can imply to some people that its not their fault for being disgusting in some way. We don’t call racist nazis ‘racephobic’, ‘blackphobic’, or ‘jewphobic’. We need a harsher term to label them is what I’m getting at. I will just refer to them as bigots for now.

    You:

    There’s no such thing as transphobia.

    Also you:

    • proves there’s such thing as transphobia. *

    You’re a special one aren’t you?

    Fear often leads to violence. I assume you’ve heard of the fight or flight response? Some people avoid, others confront. Both are based on fear.

    Ertebolle,

    "Irrationally and disproportionately" doing a LOT of work there.

    If you don't care to actively support trans people, "polite indifference" is the only other appropriate response, as they're not hurting anybody by simply existing - mind your own business and let them mind theirs.

    darkevilmac,

    Phobia is not just a fear but an aversion to something.

    RedSeries, (edited )

    You’re full of enough hot takes to melt steel. Phobia means extreme aversion or fear. Your assertion that something does not exist does not mean it does not exist.

    oatscoop,

    Well shit, I’m going to demand a refund for the waterproofing spray I just bought!

    It says “hydrophobic” but by god I used it and my tent still ain’t afraid of no water!!!1111

    agent_flounder,

    You know what there is? Hatred. And people that reject other people for who they are need to get out more and realize we are all just people.

    There are all these Christian fundamentalists who have been told all their lives they'll go to hell if they're not one hundred percent completely straight all the time, and God sees them and knows what they're thinking. Assuming there's a biological element to homosexuality, a large portion of these people are not completely straight from nature's side. Assuming people are often excited by taboos, they might secretly be more bi-curious (or whatever the word is) than the average population.

    For these people, every single step towards gay and trans rights is making it a little bit harder to live in complete denial. They cannot simply ignore it, because they're obsessed with it. One improper thought and they'll burn in hell.

    Of course this crowd is terrified of trans people.

    Daisyifyoudo,

    Did you crawl out from under that rock just to comment before going right back??

    I don't even like to drink this kind of stuff but I'll buy it now and again to support the brand. Still better than bud light I am sure.

    Most things are better than Bud Light.

    @problematicPanther@lemmy.world avatar

    I’d rather drink goat piss than bud right.

    NumbersCanBeFun,
    @NumbersCanBeFun@kbin.social avatar

    I'd drink fermented beaver piss over bud light. At least that tang will take you places. No where good but it will take you.

    Ertebolle,

    Yeah, I kind of hate that somehow refusing to buy shitty dishwater beer is now a conservative political statement.

    Daisyifyoudo,

    The"statement"is a dumb as they are

    Fantastic idea, although doesn’t seem to compensate their 69h week work

    ohwhatfollyisman, in In South Korea, some stores carry "one a day" bananas which are packaged in order of ripeness

    so it’s a yeah-na-na-na-na-na-na banana?

    sik0fewl,

    And plastic waste.

    @idunnololz@lemmy.world avatar

    Pro tip: always have at least two on hand. That way you drink one to turn gay and then you can drink another to become gay gay. It then cancels out to straight again.

    Ertebolle,

    I thought the antidote to gay drinks would be flavorless torture protein shit like Soylent or whatever

    NuPNuA,

    I’m sure gay people hate terrible tasting protein rich liquids…

    bentsea, in This bridge goes through the water and not over it, The Netherlands

    How does this work? Wouldn’t even a light rainfall cause it to flood in on itself?

    MrSlicer,

    It would have drainage on a slope that goes to somewhere even lower.

    ErwinLottemann,

    The bridge is waterproof and the water is a moat. You can find more info about it here.

    bentsea,

    I appreciate that, but even waterproof things can be underwater and moat water can rise. I’m curious about how the drainage works.

    because we all know that the banana does not already grow in the perfect packaging.

    Zozano, in This bridge goes through the water and not over it, The Netherlands

    What the fuck is this place. The hills look like a PS1 game

    odbol,

    Looks like the hill has fur

    monsterpiece42,

    🎵 a cut-out bridge beneath, hills with the furrrr… 🎶

    sebsch,

    Not a hill, its a levee

    soulifix,

    The Netherlands is the PS1

    soulifix, in Why do gaming companies do this?

    Good way for me not to care even a pixel of these games.

    Schmooze booze.

    I’m fine with marketing to gay people, but this feels like pandering.

    CeruleanRuin,
    @CeruleanRuin@lemmy.world avatar

    All marketing is pandering. This company just saw a huge niche that hadn’t yet been filled and jumped in. You’re not wrong that it’s somewhat exploitative, but all products are to some extent.

    This is a great idea

    betterdeadthanreddit, in Digital sundial

    That’s a cool project, it’d be interesting to see a time-lapse video through full daylight hours (with a couple extra frames at the intervals when the numbers are clearest).

    Syrc,

    Closest I could find is this 6-hour timelapse

    omgitsaheadcrab,

    20 minute segments, cool!
