Clearly the 17 year old posted this, thinking of all the ways he could be screwed over if he ever dared to talk to a woman.

I think they are referring to the gas station

Tell me you're from the midwest without saying you're from the midwest. And now I need a Rooster Booster.

Cutie chavs. Now I've truly heard everything.

BTW, for people unawares, cider is traditionally an Alcoholic beverage but since around the time of the prohibition it is non-alcoholic in most of the USA.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Isn't non-alcoholic cider just apple juice? How unfortunate, I love some proper strong cider and there's lots to choose from round here.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

It's often got a lot of cinnamon, spices, and pulp in it, sold around the winter holidays as seasonal items. Sparkling Cider, on the other hand, is a lot more like apple juice.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

"Apple juice" in the USA almost exclusively means clear, filtered apple juice.

[–] ricecake 3 points 1 year ago

Filtered vs unfiltered.

The left one is cider in American nomenclature, the right apple juice.

We have a wide array of alcoholic ciders, we just tend to usually call them "hard cider".

Because non alcoholic cider tends to be less shelf stable if it's any good, places that produce it tend to have at least a bit of a "thing" about cider season starting and recipies for hot cider and stuff.

The cider mill near me sells hard cider year round, but the fresh unfiltered stuff is only available during and just after apple harvest.
Everyone in the state is compelled to drive to the orchard and watch the presses crush apples, then buy some hot cider and donuts and walk around looking at the apple trees.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

No, it's fizzy.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

In the US, if you say Apple Cider then it's non-alcoholic non-filtered apple juice. If you say Hard Cider, it's the alcoholic stuff. If you just say cider, it's context specific. Say it at an orchard or a breakfast place or a fall festival, it's going to be assumed to mean the cloudy apple juice. Say it at a bar or non-breakfast restaurant or at a party and it'll be assumed to mean the alcoholic one. Generally the only time one needs to clarify is if you ask someone to grab some cider from the store.

In the US we call it hard cider and it can be found in just about any store that sells alcoholic beverages.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Was also the most popular alcoholic beverage drank in the US until the import of German culture, which brought beer. Beer isn't seen as German so much in the US partly because of what the world wars did to the German identity.

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

Wait, the US doesn't have hard cider? It's pretty popular here in Canada

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The distinction of Hard Cider is evidence of my point.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

If you say "cider" in Canada everyone will assume you mean hard. I was just using that term here for clarity.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I find that it depends on context. In this it is pretty clear it is alcoholic. But to clarify yes, Hard Cider, or to specify non alcoholic, Apple Cider.

And a 17 yrs old incel was born. We truly live in a society, smh my head…

Blaming women for incels, that does sound vaguely familiar

[–] Ummdustry 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The incels... You blame the incels.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Nah, a 17 year old incel wrote this

This might actually not be bait, it's fake sure, but not bait

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

It's an excuse for people to go on sexist and misogynistic rants.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

When I was a minor the risk of someone just stealing your money when you needed smokes or alcohol was an inherent risk, with no discernable trait of who would screw you over. That's why an honest drunk in the park was so valuable and got repeat "requests" with added tokens of appreciations and such.

It's a miracle that the cafe's content filter didn't block 4chan

For a moment there i was concerned but it turned out okay.

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

I hope she turns her life around.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bitch just got free cider, how much better does her life need to be?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

She manipulated, lied, and stole. She's a bad person.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She taught a kid a lesson for trying to bypass drinking age laws :)

[–] archon -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah yes, she sure showed him the consequences of his actions :)

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

I mean yeah, she did exactly that

[–] archon 2 points 1 year ago

Nah, all she showed him was to not trust strangers.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I think you would enjoy soap operas
