Bud lite lost more in revenue partnering with a trans spokesperson, than Corona did for having the same name as a virus that caused a global pandemic. in c/[email protected]

Weird, this mention didn't show up in my notifications.

Good context. It'd take one hell of a boycott to impact global sales. AB is huge.

A lot of people on social media are acting like this boycott didn't work. It totally did. Love it or hate it, it worked.

I don't know how Corona did, but Bud Light does appear to be struggling. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/29/business/bud-light-sales.html

Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, deleted RIF early and just pretend it doesn't exist. I'll probably use it if a useful answer pops up on Google, but not for scrolling.

Lemmy and Threads will have to fill the gap for now, but if they grow I don't see a problem at all.

What is something that people think is dangerous but in reality is completely harmless? in c/[email protected]

I've heard that cited in stories, usually older. A baby dies and they blame someone leaving the door open too long and letting in a draft.

YSK: If you make popcorn in a pot on the stove, the oil to use is ghee. in c/[email protected]

It's subtle, but I only use just enough to pop the kernels. I also have a jar of it by the stove most of the time.

Never tried Ghee. I usually use canola, coconut, or bacon grease. I'm up for more buttery flavor though. Thanks!

The warning signs experts found in recordings by an Enoch father who murdered his family (www.ksl.com)
 

"He sounds like and he mimics so many decent men in our lives," said Kimmi Wolf with the Utah Domestic Violence Coalition. "That image of a domestic violence abuser being explosive, someone foaming at the mouth, someone wearing a literal 'wife-beater' T-shirt that's stained — that image negates so much of what really happens."

The beatings will continue until morale improves. You WILL behave for the shareholders.

Do you think the guys on the titanic submarine will be rescued? in c/[email protected]

The rescue would be miraculous. So, no. Sadly.

Hypothetically speaking, if Reddit back tracks on their API plan and meets all of the communities expeditions- would you go back to Reddit? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's definitely a wait and see situation. My Reddit account is gone, so if Lemmy continues to grow I see no reason why I'd go back. If Lemmy dies, then obviously I wouldn't have anywhere else to go.
