binge crotching posted:My father in law bought two piglets that they named cutlets and schnitzel, and raised them for a couple of years before having their kids help slaughter and butcher them. Apparently they were named that so the kids wouldn't get too attached. When I was a kid my grandpa had a hobby farm (mostly just chickens) and one day we went to visit and he had two young calves in a pen. One of the calves was blind, but Grandpa put a bell on the other calf so the blind one learned to follow him around. One was red and one was black. They were adorable! We visited all summer and always ran to hang out with the calves first thing. Then in September, right around my birthday, I came home from school to find a huge mound of meat piled on the dining room table. It was (literally) half a cow, skinned and gutted but with hooves still attached so there was a little tuft of distinctive red hair at the ankle. Mom explained that Grandpa knew how much we loved the little blind calf so he made sure our beef came from him. That day I got to learn how to butcher a cow and grind up the offcuts. Anyway, it was horrific to young me and I cried secretly afterward but in the end it was really desensitizing and I have had no difficulty since then with the concept of eating cute animals.

I think if you are at a bar and don't want to drink alcohol you should just have diet coke or sprite. It looks like a drink anyway and they got a nozzle for it

Beachcomber posted:Counterpoint: a pint is two cups which is really hardly any milk at all. Not like, say, a quart which is also easily finish-able by one person. Especially if it's chocolate or strawberry. I can definitely pound a quart of chocolate milk, maybe 2 if it's all lactose free.

Milk grows strong bones and gives you intestinal distress if you're intolerant. Sounds like milk is for the tough and sturdy.

Yeah, worst thing that'll be in the cup is tap water and dechlorinator (unless they're on well/rain/reverse-osmosis/etc water). Plus salt if they're running a saltwater tank.

Grey Cat posted:I can definitely pound a quart of chocolate milk, maybe 2 if it's all lactose free. Awhile back my grocery store had this enriched chocolate milk with extra protein and less carbs than regular milk, and I fuckin' pounded that poo poo like a quart per day for I don't even remember how many months..... until one day I opened a fresh carton and the milk inside was just utterly FOUL. I don't know what the gently caress was wrong with it, if it was a bad batch or it just turned (it was well before the exp date), but for some reason the milk was fizzy and tasted absolutely disgusting, like I distinctly remember wondering if a cow had pissed in it it was so gross. That was about 10 years ago, and I haven't been able to drink chocolate milk since.

Arsenic Lupin posted:This. I'm very likely not to have grandchildren, and it makes me sad. Not because of the Lupin lineage, but because I liked the idea of a little bit of me going on after I'm gone. Like, one of my kids is a social worker and the work they do will help people, so that's also a heritage. But I wanted there to be people who didn't know I ever existed, whose lives still have some infinitesimal sliver of mine.

When my brother was in his late teens/young adulthood he was drinking heaps of milk, like a few big glasses per day as well as having it in cups of tea and in cereal. Apparently you shouldn't be drinking that much milk because you can't process that much calcium and he ended up with kidney stones. I love milk, it's great but outside of having it with Bailey's or Kahlua I don't see it getting much use in a bar. That being said I would not judge anyone who was drinking it at a bar, just let people like what they like, who cares!

The big problem with milk is that dairy cows are not good for meat and you only get a few gallons of milk for each cow you kill to remove its milk. Even modern dairy cows don't hold that much milk and then you're stuck with a big pile of meat and bones and skin. Sure you can get people to process that, but it's a lot of work and waste for each milked cow.

There's no reason that old dairy cows can't be eaten unless they're pumping them full of chemicals, which, like, they shouldn't. Maybe I'm spoiled because I grew up around lots of small family farms.

AITA for despising my boyfriend’s Duck Dynasty beard?quote:My boyfriend and I matched on a dating app in December of 2022. In his pictures he was clean shaven or had no longer than an inch of beard hair. Legitimately 30 seconds before I walked into our first date, he texted me word for word “how do you feel about beards?” to which I replied something along the lines of “I like them!” That was not a lie, as I do like the common beard. I walk up to our date and see him standing there with a beard that’s like armpit level. I made a comment like “I didn’t know you meant that kind of beard” and he laughed it off. To be honest, I was instantly turned off because I felt both deceived and less attracted. Fast forwarding through the date, we had a great time and really hit it off.

You know what goes great with milk? Donuts! Just not that one. AITA for refusing to give a donut to a kid at a party? quote:I can’t believe I am posting this but here we are. I have a mix group of friends and some are saying I was wrong so I decided to let Reddit decide. My husband and I were invited to a birthday party. We asked if we could bring anything and the host said not needed but we could if we wanted to. Since I don’t like showing up empty handed anywhere I thought it would be nice to purchase some boutique donuts from an artisanal donut shop near us. We got a bunch of donuts and one GF donut for my husband who can’t have gluten. Side note: no one at the party has any gluten issues we know these people fairly well.

My brother skipped his own wedding receptionquote:My brother got married yesterday but him and his wife skipped their own reception. No one even knew they were going to do it except for one of their friends so it was a complete surprise and really embarrassing to be honest. At first no one knew. They decided to get married locally which was nice because I'm sure most of you would agree that having to travel somewhere else for a wedding is a pain.

Yeah, that and the memories we have of people and the things they taught us are worth more than the genetics in my opinion. I couldn't care less about some of the DNA I'm carrying. By all accounts one pair of great grandparents I had were incredibly lovely people, and we have so little to do with that branch of the family that when I got married, my dad was happy there was now one less person carrying on our name. Besides, I'm not having any biological children anyways from what it looks like, so passing on knowledge and values is the only thing I can hope for anyways.
