Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

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.

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.

Schmooze booze.

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

[–] CeruleanRuin 24 points 2 years ago

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.

Fair play to them, as a real ale drinking Brit, I wouldn't touch this or bud light with a bargepole, but if it a corp outwardly supporting LGBT rights then I hope it does well.

Your ales taste great but I can't get used to the low carbonation.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The low carbonation is what I love about them, I do like some lagers but drinking them all day is too much gas, lol.

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.

At first I read it as "Gray Water" and thought it was a terrible idea.

A mildlyinteresting community but you can post with links? I love Lemmy

Honestly I'm just glad to hear people recognizing that Anheuser-Busch isn't a trans icon or even queer friendly.
