Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I like em all. Oat, almond, soy, cashew, hemp, coconut, rice, pea. Prefer soy and nut milks with pea protein for the high protein content. Veganism isn't about taste though
I would love to go vegan, but I’m too much of a coward to give up whole milk and sour cream.
I’m thinking if I get to about 80% vegan diet it would be better than nothing.
Milk is the only non alcoholic "drink" in my fridge. So yes it is refreshing when you don't bother making ice or cooling something else.
I am just lazy.
A diet of 20% milk and sour cream? Lol... Anyway, You can do it! Watch/research what happens to those poor cows for some inspiration
You’d be surprised at how much milk I can drink lol
His milk wasn't ice cold though
But mine is 😉
Skim is fantastically refreshing. But a nice, rich whole milk? Oh yea, just what I want in the middle of a long run.
Organic whole milk from Costco is the champagne of milk.
It really isn't... It's ultra-pasteurized and crazy overpriced. You don't really taste the cool, creamy goodness in milk that's been boiled.
Near me, I like this random Dutch brand, and also clover (clover is hit and miss sometimes, though.)
In my opinion it’s the best. I tried going all out with raw milk for a bit, but it had an off putting after taste.
I will agree that it’s way overpriced, but I’m trusting the side of the box that says animal care certified. That alone is enough for me to pay more to soothe my guilty conscience for supporting the milk industry.
I agree, because my bathroom has air conditioning.
Obligatory vegan downvote...ill remove it if you mention plant based milk
I wish there was a plant based milk that came close to whole milk. Oat milk is the closest I’ve found, but it’s just not the same.
Honestly, oat milk is a very distinct drink that tastes very different from dairy milk. It's interesting, but most people will agree it's not a replacement in most cases.
I did try an ultra-filtered milk (no lactose) the other day, though, and I was shocked at how close that was to standard milk. Granted, it's made from milk, but still... I was fooled into thinking it was the same thing.
I've never had anything plant-based yet that fools me like that. I'd love to see it in the future, though. Plant-based meats can be great, and in some cases, they taste better than beef.
