This is disinformation at its finest. Red Bull absolutely does NOT taste like shit. It tastes like piss.
Tell me you've never drunken piss, without saying that you've never drunken piss. Piss tastes heavenly, compared to Red Bull.
I try to buy european but i think it's important to remind ourselves that we have shit companies in Europe that don't deserve our business. Red Bull, Nestlé, Müllermilch all these mf can suck it.
What's up with Müllermilch? I haven't bought it in a while because it wasn't very healthy anyway. But i didn't know the company itself was bad
The CEO meets up with the AfD on the regular to discuss Nazi things.
I am permanently banned from making Reddit accounts because I got about 4 of them banned for "promoting violence".
The violence? Telling people it was a good thing to punch Nazis. Reddit is a Nazi safe space.
I got a warning for upvoting pro-Canada stuff like "elbows up". That is apparently promoting violence.
Well yeah, you're promoting the same kind of violence that Ukraine continues to perpetrate on Russia.
Yeah, at this point Reddit is a sinking ship. Been using it for so long too. A little sad to see it go, but it's a shell of what it used to be.
o Reddit is no place for normal people
Yep, permanently banned here for "ban evasion" though I only know 1 sub I was banned from and I never went there after. That's okay, helped me quit what is clearly a hollow shell of user participation filled with a corpo bot sludge. It's really easy to VPN up and make another account anyway, but why play in the garbage heap?
Interestingly, the site wide rules about violence are only supposed to be credible calls to action. Like if someone was actually planning to murder people and coordinating it on the site.
Saying you'd like to punch someone, even if they aren't a Nazi, isn't against the rules as they are written. Either they don't understand their own rules, they are lazy fuckers who don't want to do their jobs the correct way and actually investigate shit to make sure it actually violates the rules, or they are Nazi pieces of shit.
Not one of these things makes using the site sound like a good idea.
A system is what it does. Action matters more than intent. Reddit bans anti Nazi rhetoric, therefore it is a pro Nazi website.
Damn, red bull is my energy drink of choice. Anyone got a good alternative that doesn't use alternative sweetener? So many of them use them and I can't stand the flavor they have.
I drink coffee and Decathlon isotonic drink, one after the other, and it makes me great.
Coffee
Club Mate is my energy drink of choice. Made in Germany.
Any off-brand energy is fine. Aldi has a pretty good one though it does use artificial sweeteners instead of, or in combination with, sugar.
Alternatively, give mate a try. Mio Mio has lots of flavours to choose from. The classic Club Mate is also always a gold choice. Pomegranate and peach iced tea are my favourites :)
I usually buy my energy drinks from gas stations, so I guess I'll have to see what off brands they have. I am interested in mate, I'll have to see what's available near me. Thank you.
I didn’t know redbull was European and I didn’t know servus tv belonged to redbull
on the bright side, red bull tastes like shit
Reminder: Arguing and discussion is okay, but keep it civil and do not attack the person you are arguing with.
Did you just got here from reddit or what? Or is it some toung in cheek /s stuff too elaborate for me?
No, I'm not new. This account is new because you can't use mod tools properly if your account is on a separate instance from the modded community (e.g. you don't get reports, can't sticky stuff, etc).
And you also might not actually see the whole discussion going on here since you are on lemmy.world due to defederation between lemmy.world and other instances and so. I'm just reminding everyone to keep it civil since this community has had heated discussions before and the discussion easily slips into nationalism, which is against our rules.
Are you a moderator? Of .world or maybe on your server? Just trying to figure it out here.
But also be mindful of the fact that the more rules you add for people to be part of a movement, the less members the movement will have.
The "Buy European" protest is about sending a message of resistance against the current US regime, as well as reducing reliance on US products.
It doesn't require you to only buy ethically spotless products.
That simply isn't possible in our system.
The post is not a "rule". OP didn't even ask people to stop using Red Bull. I'm glad to have more information.
If you really enjoy Red Bull, you're an adult, make your choices. Personally, I can take it or leave it, so I'll choose to leave it.
Luckily I don't like energy drinks and have hardly supported them at all.
In the UK, not a fan of tea or coffee. I rarely use caffeine at all, but there are some days where I'm falling asleep at my desk and I need something.
Any recommendations?
Holy shit what is up with the reddit mods? I posted a screenshot of a Mastodon post there yesterday, that basically said if youre switching us big tech for eu big tech you're not doing enough and that we have to support decentralized tech. Deleted in 5 minutes because it "posts should be relevant to european made products"
It also tastes like shit and is prohibitively expensive compared to many energy drink brands
