I'm also lactose intolerant, but the devil doesn't sleep just cause I stopped fightin' him.

I also refuse to tolerate lactose. Godspeed.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago (1 children)

This made my partner and me laugh out loud. Thank you.

It made me shoot milk out of my nose!

Which is troubling because I was drinking Diet Pepsi.

You are not the Batman the people wanted. Or the Batman the city needs. You aren't Batman. But you ARE a hero serving the needs the people don't have but we didn't need pumpkin spice lattes yet here we are. I salute you not Batman.

You don't need me telling you this, but if you're lactose intolerant, try the lactose enzyme supplements before and after a meal to help digestion.

Lactaid I think is one of them

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Oh, I took 'em. But I ate too much. It was like a man versus a military.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm in the same boat after Alfredo pizza, some delicious iced Raspberry sticks and a glass of milk (to take the fire away from the pepper flakes that were a lot stronger than anticipated) 😅 popped like 6 lactase enzyme pills by the time I was done and good Lord my ass still has a barking spider hiding up in there somewhere! 🤣🍑💨

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Assuming I have the bottle on hand, I'll pop a couple of lactase pills every quarter of a pint of ice cream. As I understand it, your body needs to have the pills dissolve with the food. I'll usually have like 6 by the end like you. Lol

However, you may not be lactose intolerant. There's also the possibility of having a straight up dairy allergy.

It's almost time for sleep, otherwise I would love some. The caffeine would definitely clear me out.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Peppermint tea or a spoonful of peppermint oil is my go to for lactose (or any kind) of stomach ache. Tastes like toothpaste, but it works great!

I accidentally ate a 12 pack of ice cream sandwiches in one sitting last month.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

did you trip and fall onto them? like, after #6 how was it accidental?

I'm frankly impressed you survived the experience, imagine it was....something on the other side.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Ha. Like that time I accidentally a Coca-Cola bottle.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Get some rest and go find some bacon. Until you can we'll be thinking of you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Is this really a remedy? Like how they say fatty foods and bread help with a hangover or something?

~~Maine~~ Maple and bacon ice cream is good

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

As someone who is clearly sensitive to multiple food types but seemingly completely incapable of figuring it out, you have my sympathies.

I had my butter pecan ice cream blended into a shake, and I got a small scoop of a flavor called Cookie Monster (blue sweet cream ice cream with cookie dough and Oreo's) since I really wanted to try it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Oh damn that sounds fantastic!!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Look at the bright side — you probably won’t have to worry about weight gain. It’s just going to exit the other end in a hurry.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

in a hurry.

or all at once. NEVER TRUST A FART people, trust me on this one. NEVER.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Points to you

This is what hurt looks like, people. Note it well.

Puts a hand on your shoulder

You didn't deserve to be betrayed like that. Neither did your pants. It's not your fault.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

the struggle is real. pfffftt

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Vegan ice creams are pretty tasty. Signed, devil #2

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

maybe beware of dehydration

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Hell yea, the porcelain rodeo is the part I look forward to

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Yeehaw! 🤠

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Hmm if you drink vinegar will it turn into cheese? Cheese is easier to digest than milk.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Or even BETTER! It stays in, mixes into cheese, comes out as a cheese...log. A cheddar loaf, if you will. A veritable effluence of proper stinky cheese.

I ate a half a loaf of bread in one sitting once and then discovered that eating that much bread in one go will fuck you up. Bread sweats are real. I was soaking in sweat and shivering, horrific cramps are the worst shits.

Never again.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You're clearly a man of culture as well.

I ate two boxes of cereal in 4 days. I now have the shits, chills, nausea, heartburn, weakness and general feeling of death disease.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I found out I was mildly lactose intolerant when I started pounding Whey protein shakes during a bulking cycle.

Farting like a draught horse.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

There's a few whey proteins that are lactose free. Hope that helps. :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah anything made with isolate instead of concentrate has way less issues.

Still... it was almost hilarious how bad it was.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

I will warn you know: the farts you get from egg protein are nuclear. It caused an actual fight with my old roommate because he was so disgusted with me. I realized it was the protein and threw it away.

Factorio.... Any game that's design-based simulation. Those can draw you in forever

But the real answer is, whatever your friend group does, socialization adds depth and replayability to almost any game. Go with your friend group
