I checked to see if the article is real. It is! It's pretty weird and unhinged.

Gotta love journalism that's just 'i personally don't like this perfectly normal thing, ergo everyone who likes it is weird and wrong'.

Like bro no one's forcing you to drink milk πŸ’€

It's how you sell ads I guess

Wtf I thought vice was a journalism website, this feels more like a buzzfeed article

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 2 points 6 months ago

Sorry if you've timed jumped or reality wrapped. You have my sympathy

Here in the darkest timeline, BuzzFeed is actually the height of journalism

Man I really love milk. I used to really crave it, until I was diagnosed with a vitamin d deficiency some years back and started taking it daily, then realized my body was actually craving the vitamin d added to milk. I can tell when I need to start taking the vitamin d because the milk cravings will resume if I'm low

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 22 points 6 months ago

I'm doing better than you Vice.

I'm an adult that loves his chocolate milk! Take that vice!

[–] denast@lemm.ee 8 points 6 months ago

God bless brown cows!

[–] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 months ago

Wdym, are there any adults who don't? If they say they don't then they are lying.

Vice died before milk

[–] SrTobi@feddit.de 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I mean drinking milk is somewhat weird when you think about it... But if you look at it like that all the stuff we do is weird... Like getting into a metal tube that burn animal/plant remains to fly over the clouds

I'd say drinking another species milk is certified weird. Doesn't mean I don't do it though.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I love cheese, and ice cream, but straight milk is not for me. I think I spent too long thinking about it once and it gives me the heebie-jeebies.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Cheese is even weirder since it needs the insides of a calf's stomach. I love a good cheese though.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to tell the truth!

[–] redempt@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

great, actually

[–] Axiochus@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They probably haven't heard about the new dairy source.

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Thanks alot. That was very cool.

[–] naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Would you fucking suck on a rat's tits?

It tastes really good with waffles.

I once played the drinking game Paranoia with a group of people where everyone was asking things like β€œwho’s the horniest here” or β€œwho drinks the most on a weekly basis” and β€œwhose probably the worst at their job” and everyone was joking around, laughing and having a good time. When it was my turn to come up with a whispered prompt, I asked β€œwho here drinks glasses of milk regularly” and the guy whose name was said was clearly more concerned about this than any of the other things that had been said that night. He had to know and understand what about him gave off the aura of β€œmilk-drinker” and I’ll never forget how that label was the most upsetting thing that was said that night.

[–] TheControlled@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

To be fair, I think I would be too. Like, wtf makes me look like a milk drinker? Good skeleton? πŸ˜‚

[–] clemdemort@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Better than drinking coffee tbh

Never needed caffeine, I tried it multiple times and it makes me super stressed it's the reason I avoid sodas now.

Well, many societies in the world, especially nomadic ones, who live off sheep and goats, drink lots of milk, because it's one of the few sources of calories. So in that context, drinking lots of milk would seem to be a reasonable thing to do.

It's honestly very reasonable from a survival standpoint.

[–] Titou@feddit.de 3 points 6 months ago

Taste good with chocolate

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 6 months ago

Milk is good. 'specially chocolate milk.

So I was a listener of Vice's tech podcast called Cyber. The final episode was a bunch of Vice journalists basically just talking shit on Vice for an hour. One of the things they mentioned which stood out, was apparently Vice's NY office was stocked, head to toe, with milk. Like, all the other food and snacks were eliminated, but there was a cornucopia of milk, including plant-based milk. They didn't know where it came from, and there was no explanation why all their other food was gone, but replaced with milk. Maybe that's why this stupid post was made?
