Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I'm not a vegan or vegetarian, so that's my disclaimer.
I've tried numerous "milk alternatives" over the years, and many different brands of each. That's particularly true for soy milk since there are so many brands in the USA and it's been commonly, and easily available in my region for 3+ decades.
Based on that, I have to say that soy milk is, for me, consistently my least favorite option in terms of taste.
Of the easily available stuff, almond milk is my favorite, but I see so much hate for it online in terms of environmental harm that I finally just said fuck it, I'm going back to real milk, at least it's cheaper.
My favorite that I've tried so far was hemp milk. I don't recall the brand but years ago I found a brand that did chocolate hemp seed milk that was so good I swear they must've put a dab of fentanyl or nicotine in it to keep people coming back.
Don't buy into the anti-almond milk bullshit, it's propaganda. It still takes about 3x less water to produce per gallon than dairy milk, and that's not accounting for the numerous other ecological issues with cattle farming. It may have a higher environmental cost than other plant milks, but it's still leagues better than going back to cow juice.
I haven't found compelling evidence to support this claim
What compelling evidence leads you to believe otherwise? Dairy industry propaganda based on a single study during the height of a massive drought in California that you half read 5 years ago?

Here's a decent overview. If you haven't found 'compelling evidence' it's because you haven't bothered to look.
I have looked. everything I found has been myopic.
I simply suspend judgement until I have good reason to believe one way or the other
this paper doesn't show the methodology for determining the water footprint of dairy milk.
