~~Beer is for GIRLS~~

Flowers are for men

Or for everyone if you're a woke lib who thinks women can appreciate flowers.

[-] fartographer@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

My wife buys me flowers and it makes me feel really special. She doesn't care for flowers at all, but she knows that I do, which makes me appreciate that much more that she'd pick out and pay for something that only I like.

i eat beans i drink beans i chew beans i shit beans. when did we switch to eating flowers?

[-] affenlehrer@feddit.org 65 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Also hops contains a powerful phytoestrogen iirc

[-] Fern@piefed.world 34 points 1 month ago

Funny. But for real, phytoestrogens have really been slandered by masculine culture so afraid of anything femme.

Phytoestrogens, like those found in soy, actually make the body produce less estrogen and tend to help regulate estrogen hormonal production.

It does not just make you more feminine and make it harder to get strong unlike most manosphere peeps believe about "soyboys." I wonder if the phytoestrogens in beer are the same way.

[-] xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 month ago

But hops have Alpha acids, which obviously makes you an alpha male. Checkmate atheists.

[-] fartographer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Where's that banana-dick pastor these days?

[-] Juice@midwest.social 44 points 1 month ago

Absolutely massacred this meme

[-] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

This comment is way too far down.

[-] Gsus4@mander.xyz 29 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Hey, hops seems to have phytoestrgens like soy, so all beerdrinkers are soyboys too, eheh.

[-] chetradley@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Hops have a much more potent phytoestrogen than soy, 8-PN. Both are negligible compared to cows milk though.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

My mum still believes that soy milk will make me grow tits because of the big milk propaganda.

Slightly chilled, bubbly flower water is good, but what about some hot bush water, or hot seed water.

[-] then_three_more@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago

I'll stick my my hot leaf juice

[-] xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 month ago

How could a member of my own family say something so horrible?!

[-] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I also like to breathe hot leaf aroma, though from a different leaf.

[-] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

Seems quite a few people really like hot ground up roasted cherry pit water.

[-] kata1yst@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

I'm pretty sure that's the 'hot seed water', since technically coffee berries are not cherries and the 'bean' isn't a pit, it's a seed.

[-] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

That could easily be hot chocolate as well. Like how Strawberries aren’t berries, they are still called coffee cherries even though they aren’t.

[-] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

I could go for some hot bush water.

You can keep your bread-flavored soda. My water is flavored with ROCKS (minerals added for taste).

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 14 points 1 month ago

I wish it was bread-flavored. Bread doesn't usually taste like bitter herbs.

[-] ScreamingFirehawk@feddit.uk 10 points 1 month ago

May I recommend kvass?

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

fuck that i love rye *downvote*

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 4 points 1 month ago

But rye doesn't have any bitter herbs ...

[-] xthexder@l.sw0.com 5 points 1 month ago

There's actually so little actual Rye left after distillation that whiskey is gluten free. (Beer is not)

Try the Russian bread water (Kwas) in your local eastern European grocer.

also very closely related to cannabis flowers!

terpene profiles are very similar so you get those "skunky" and "diesel" hoppy beers

[-] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

There's a brewery I love that does a beer designed as a weed beer but no thc or even cbd. The hops they use are so skunky, you'd swear you were just drinking weed.

grass and flower fermented herbal tea

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 month ago

I like to call IPAs "potpourri beer".

[-] Soapbox@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

Thats what I call Blue Moon. That stuff smells/tastes just like the potpourri my mom had when I was a kid.

[-] BranBucket@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

IPA: If Pinecones were Alcohol.

In the immortal words of Larry Flynt, pink is a real man's favorite color!

[-] buttwater@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

Really hamfisting the text into the meme format

[-] GiveOver@feddit.uk 6 points 1 month ago

This is the worst use of this meme I've seen

The worst use so far

[-] Zerush@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Flavored with a parent plant from the Marijuana

[-] DylanMc6@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Beer is basically flower juice. Also, I'm still non-binary, I prefer gender-neutral and feminine terms, and I will transition in the future. Seriously!

[-] itsPina@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

Flavonoids as Phytoestrogenic Components of Hops and Beer https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7570471/

The Effects of the Hops Phytoestrogen in Beer on Breast Cancer Risk https://nutritionfacts.org/blog/the-effects-of-the-hops-phytoestrogen-in-beer-on-breast-cancer-risk/ tl/dr - beer because of the ethanol, and 8-PN from hops, which is a selective estrogen receptor alpha promoter is proliferative on breast cells thus increasing breast cancer risk. And at the same time lowers risk for osteoporosis.

Tho' some sources (https://www.greenskybio.com/hops_extract/37420.html) say 8-PN exists at extremely low concentrations in beer as it is served.
