Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CruelWe’re here for laughs, not fights.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults

Rule 2: No Forbidden FormatsNot every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.

Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

Craft beer. No way so many people genuinely enjoy that shit.

Craft beer

Are you talking about overly hopped IPAs? Because there's "craft beer" versions of every style of beer that exists

[–] Sturgist@piefed.ca 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Not op, but yeah. If I wanted to drink a literal handful of hops I'd make a hops shake.

I like some craft beers that recognise that beer has more ingredients than just hops.

I hate IPAs, but there are some absolutely amazing amber craft beers out there. I'll take that over a pilsner any day

[–] Sturgist@piefed.ca 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've had some really nice craft pilsners, and some absolutely vile ambers....guess it's almost like people have different tastes 🤷

[–] WaxRhetorical@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes, that is the point I was making..

[–] Sturgist@piefed.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Yes, that was the point I was agreeing with and reiterating.

Stouts and porters as well

I was recently at a trendy store, and they were selling hops-flavored (non-alcoholic) seltzer water. I finally had to admit that some people must actually like the flavor. I figure these people spent years associating the flavor with alcohol's feel-good brain chemicals, but I'm just guessing.

I mean, if you want a similar flavour and don't want to drink beer, just stuff a fresh nug of weed in your mouth. You probably won't even get stoned due to the bio-availability quirks of THC.

I do hate that IPAs took over the craft beer scene. There are other good styles.

[–] RheumatoidArthritis@mander.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

Even craft lagers are rarely drinkable

[–] farmgineer@nord.pub 3 points 1 month ago

I enjoy (well, mostly used to since I'm not supposed to have wheat-based stuff anymore) a lot of them. I oddly have trouble with bitter chocolate and don't enjoy certain veg with bitter compounds as much, but black coffee (depending on roast, I guess) and very hoppy and bitter IPAs were something I loved.
