  • Europeans of Lemmy, is American beer really that bad?

  • New Belgium is amazing.

    1554 is one of my favorites, and I introduced my friend to the Voodoo ranger series and that's how he left the land of domestic beers.

    Thank you for your service. 🫡

  • Ooooh I want to get into home brewing! I joined the Lemmy community a few weeks ago.

    I moved the Chicago for the entertainment industry, and I was pleasantly surprised by the beer here. I would say the difference between PNW and Midwest beers are that PNW likes to go big and bold- high ABV and IBUs. The Midwest likes to make beers that you can drink a lot of (Alagash White is a good one)

  • 75% in fact!

    Full disclosure, I'm a Seattle born beer enjoyed so I mainly drink microbrews, or what some folks have told me is "fancy beer".

    My parents moved to the PNW from California in the 80s, and they were amazed at the sheer amount of options. Back then it really was just Bud, Coors, and PBR, but even back then the microbrew scene was budding in Portland and Seattle. My dad would tell me how when they would go back to visit old friends in California, it was either amazing wine of shit beer. People's minds were blown when they would bring some stuff down from up north to the party.

  • I think this brings up another good point- some states do MUCH better than others. From what I've seen, the best beers come from the West Coast (especially the Northwest), the Mountain West, Midwest, and Northeast.

    Someone here said they hated the beers in Texas and yea, like don't expect a great authentic taco scene in North Dakota. The worst beer I've ever had was from Florida.

  • Is the fediverse the only fediverse?

    Jump

  • In multi-fediverse theory, there are infinite fediverses where any and every possibility of fediverse exists.

  • I think the point was to have it as a mental exercise. Personally I'd be fine with it. My main issue with China is the entire genocidal surveillance ethnostate with little to no civil liberties and full restricted speech. If it opened up to allow criticism of the government, protests, protection of LGBTQ folks and legal marriage, I'd be more on board.

    But yes, that's not the China we see today and likely never going to see in our lifetimes.

  • Yea, I made a post to my people to come to the fediverse. While we have capitalist and communist forums, ultimately the fediverse sits in the anarchist camp.

    I like it because I'm suspicious of tankies and hate musk fucks. A nice 3rd option.

  • Honkwiching

    Jump

  • I have such great memories of my mom giving me a good honkwhich. I would come home from school and she would feed me like a baby penguin. I felt so safe and secure, frankly I feel bad for the underprivileged youths who don't get to have a honkwich.

  • Spectators

  • Also let's be frank, it's a class divide. Boomers had a huge leg up, and then those who amassed great wealth are the ones we see in power making decisions that close doors to the younger generations.

    But back to my point, of course those who have had 60+ years to amass and invest wealth are going to be richer, especially when they had something to invest at the start.

    I think when we consider that Gen Z men are running to the right, we should rethink boomers as a scapegoat. It's not the boomers. It's the rich and the Andrew Tates of the world who are in the boxing ring.

    Like I could probably take down a random boomer, but a billionaire could hire Mike Tyson and I'd be fucked in the ring.

  • Yesterday was the 10th anniversary of the Charlie Hebdo shooting. What is your opinion on the freedom of satire in general and the satire of religion in particular?

    Jump

  • I said

    Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"

    He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"

    He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!"

    Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over

  • I will say, he did get to paint on TV and know that maybe somewhere someone was better off for knowing he existed.

    Bob Ross absolutely got something. Something worth more than any sum of gold.

  • I'm trying to take a cue from Trevor Noah (I didn't like his time on the daily show but I still think he has some good takes):

    Read the news only a few times a week. That's enough to be informed. We created a 24 hours news cycle that makes us more anxious, angry, and scared than we need to be. Live your life, focus on those around you, stop yelling at people on the internet who have made up their mind.

    It seems like a good balance of self care and being informed. You have to set boundaries.

  • Heaven is a peanut farm

    One for you and me

    With friends and music, banquets and balls

    And a good man named Jimmy

    .

    Heaven is a peanut farm

    Surely it's the best

    There's a porch with a sleeping dog

    One where you can find rest

    .

    They say there is a man out there

    Who made sure every heart he would fill

    When God said "it's okay, you can stop your work now"

    He said "no, I don't think I will"

    .

    When you come to this peanut farm

    You will be filled with this delight

    Friends and family, we gather 'round

    To wish Mr. Carter goodnight
