That's exactly the kind of statement I would expect from an average fox host. So obviously dumb that I can't even make fun of it because it seems like satire/sarcasm already.

[-] AfricanExpansionist@lemmy.ml 29 points 1 year ago

If you view Fox purely as a satire, its becomes watchable again

Itd be like watching starship troopers, but less fun..

Reminds me of the M:TG parody in Fallout 2, the item description of which went like this:

"Tragic: The Garnering. As addictive as crack, but less fun"

It's like when all the chuds loved the Colbert Report because they thought he was super republican. Took a while before they realized it was satire.

A significantly large portion of their audience will be mad about this. They are told what to be mad about, not validate it

My mom was super pissed when Country Crock announced they were making plant based butter. She threw a straight up hissy fit about it and wouldn't even budge when I told her the Country Crock that she has been buying for decades has always been plant based.

Well the current one seem to be horsepiss based.

And in Poland they supposedly add animal bile to beer instead of hops because it's cheaper.

I have so many questions but not enough to Google the topic lol

I think it's a joke based on the quality of beer mass produced in the US usually being referred to as horse piss, piss water, etc. Being weak and flavorless etc. Having drank my fair share of US mainstream beers I would have to agree.

I’m drawing the line at plant-based vegetables

In biden's america, floors are made out of floor.

I for one welcome our transition to non-plant beer. Time to pur ourselves fermented bee puke, aka mead.

Mead. Mead! MEAD!

Real men drink meat-based beer 🍺 /s

[-] 201dberg@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

What's with the /s? Do you not enjoy dysentery?

I call it idiot-stage capitalism..

[-] Saneless@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

This is ridiculous. We already have to suffer through plant-based liquor, now our beer? What's next, ketchup and hot sauces?

[-] roux@lemmygrad.ml 26 points 1 year ago

As long as they add something on the beer labels so I know what to avoid. As a consumer I don't want to get confused by branding and accidentally buy something not made from dead animal flesh.

My bear is made from motor oil.

Little know fact - hops are not actually plants and are named after the mode of transportation the bunnies, frogs, and kangaroos they come from use.

[-] DevCat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

The truth of it is, he knows it's plant-based. This was simply to enrage the MAGAts and give them something else to rage-tweet about.

[-] PoY@lemmygrad.ml -1 points 1 year ago

Joke's on him, I quit drinking altogether! and that was before I knew there was beer that wasn't plant-based!
