- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

They tried to narrowly define that can be called milk. Thankfully it did not pass.
As a funny aside, this was my autocomplete suggestions when looking up this bill:
I would imagine there is a funny story behind this.
Here in Germany they did succeed with it. Oat milk has to be called something like "Hafer-Drink" (note the anglicism) (literally "oat drink").
Yeah, but tbh, it kinda makes sense. You can't print something on the packaging that says something that's not the case. You can't call it "oat milk", because otherwise people should rightfully assume it was milk with some oat in it.
Imagine calling a non dairy liquid "milk" prior to ten years ago, not conceivable
Coconut milk, milk of magnesium, soy milk? Made up woke nonsense
yeah, tbf, "coconut milk" (which i believe to be older name than 20 years, maybe conceived or widespread in the 1960s) is a questionable candidate. What give you can call "coconut milk" milk, but not "soy milk".
Almond milk dates back to the middle ages
the name, or the product?
Both
'Made up'?
You mean other names were bequeefed upon us by lord god jesus christ?
Are you stupid or just forgot an '/s'?
I think your sarcasm detector needs tuning, it was pretty thick especially considering all of those have been around with those names much longer than that
Fair, I retract and apologise.
