    This is anecdotal but pretty much all of the lactose intolerant people I know love dairy more than the lactose tolerant people. Something as small as your body not processing milk isn’t enough to stop them

        Humans: Let’s breed all these pants together to maximize production of the chemical, invent a rating system to determine which ones have the most, then hold competitions to see who can tolerate the highest levels.

      Completely spitballing here based on your anecdotal observation, but I know that with lactose-intolerance, you’re lacking lactase for processing the lactose, so the lactose makes it unprocessed into the gut, where the gut microbiota then process the lactose and cause the usual symptomes.

      Well, and those gut microbiota can signal to your brain that they want more of a given food (source).
      So, maybe those bacteria in your gut fucking love lactose, because it is basically sugar, and so they instruct you to self-destruct.

      The entire .zip TLD is blocked as a security risk.

      Maybe don’t use a domain that looks like a virus payload.

          That website domain ends in .zip

          The .zip domain is blocked for me because it looks like a virus/malware site.

          Nobody legit should be using a .zip website.

              It’s not a Lemmy thing.

              It’s a new domain Google introduced over the objections of security experts.

              Why would any legit site choose that domain?

              It’s like putting your website at virus.com or something.

          He’s talking about your instance’s Top Level Domain (TLD). Mine is .pt and yours is .zip.

    They had a gourmet cheese tasting in a luxury hotel in Beijing some years ago; it was treated with the same kind of combination of curiosity, wonder and mild horror that the west would regard, say, fermented shark or sheep’s eyeballs with.

      Now that’s an analogy I can understand.

      I say, let’s top these things with melted cheese, so that all people face the buffet with the same feelings. 🤤🤨🤤🤨🤤🤨

    As a Western European, I can verify this. I will fight you for cheese. Doesn’t matter if it’s blue stilton, sharp cheddar, chevre, feta, or maasdam. Cheese is life.

    Btw, there’s a batch of people on the westcoast of africa who developed lactose tolerance indepently. Seems it happens all the time, if a community relies heavily on livestock.

    As an Indian, I love my dairy taste. I have an ick for anti-dairy extremists that try to push their “eww its meant for cows” bullshit agenda.

      I exclusively drink dog milk, it’s actually sweeter than dairy.

      It’s a bit sad when you have to keep immediately taking the puppies away from the female dogs and they sniff around and search for them for months and months, howling and barking.

      But it’s a whole lot cuter than cows when you kill the male dogs (because they don’t produce milk), it’s cute seeing them wag their little tails right before the bolt to the brain!

      Plus dog milk is better for the environment! Not as good as plant milk, but the idea of consuming plants is “ick”.
