A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.

I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!

Only goofs & silliness. (:

It's crazy to think about how much milk Americans consume. Especially that's it's usually full cream. I think my milk consumption is measurable in cups per week.

Especially that’s it’s usually full cream.

?

no it's not full cream. Cream, heavy cream, whipping cream - it's all the same - is ~36% milk fat. no one's drinking that.

whole milk is 3.5 percent milk fat. 2% is - you guessed it, 2% milk fat.

Yes, where I am from that is called full cream milk. As opposed to skim milk.

they call whole milk full cream? how do they differentiate it from half and half and other cream, heavy cream whipping cream etc?

fascinating! where's that?

also, you have a perception that everyone is drinking loads of milk.... kids maybe but adults often have to be pressed to get enough to just maintain bones and teeth. my mom, for example, got her milk in her coffee or tea or not at fucking all lol.

The only time I drink milk is with chocolate chip cookies, and I only get that kinda treat a few times a year.

Fun fact, you can actually measure any amount in cups per week. Even twelve gazillion jugs of milk.

There's nothing quite as refreshing as a glass of cold milk after a long hot day working outside. I know it sounds crazy, but it's packed with basically everything your body expends through a day.

It basically prevents me from waking up with leg cramps. Electrolyte solutions do usually work, but not all the time. The milk always works

I think mine is probably measured in cups per year. I wish I could keep milk stocked in my fridge, but it just goes bad.
