Do it. It’s one of those things that’s unpleasant but you get to bond with everyone else who’s done it and it’s over quick

It tastes like some kinda fancy herbal liqueur that someone accidentally dumped a bottle of crushed up tylenol into. It’s aggressively bitter. The best description I’ve heard was “Well gin, with a baby asprin wrapped in grapefruit peel and rubber bands”

It’s really hard to explain but as you drink it you kinda start to like it. I was given a shot by a stranger when I first visited Chicago. I wound up moving to Chicago not long after that. I was given more shots at nearby bars as a “Welcome to the neighborhood” kinda thing and I was like “noo no thanks I know this game” and drank them only to be polite.

But before I knew it, I wanted some, so I bought a bottle at the liquor store. Now I legitimately want a shot of it sometimes… over other liquors. I never feel like drinking a shot of any other hard A. When I moved here I only drank beer. Now I only drink beer and the occasional shot of malort.

It’s fun to do a shot of malort with someone you just met. It’s fun to give it to people who aren’t from Chicago. It’s fun to be in Chicago the first time and someone hands you one and says “welcome to Chicago buddy” and you drink it and think “What the fuck? These people are insane”

It’s weird, it’s not for everyone, it’s a little much, it’s unlike anything else, and yet it grows on you really quick. And I think that basically makes it Chicago in liquor form.

Dailly reminder: there are no good printers.

APAB (Yes ALL)

women won’t date me cause I’m ugly and married :\

Not me! I got the bald spot starting at the back turning me into a fucking monk.

I love malort.

This is without a doubt the worst pizza I have ever seen. At first I thought whoever took this picture was too drunk to cook a frozen pizza. Then I saw the comments saying its “ohio valley style” and I thought it was making fun of ohio and I was about say that ohio doesn’t deserve that. But no its real. what the fuck?

clean your room. You never know how many bars you’ll find that you thought were missing.

I’ve known a few people who switched from beer to seltzers. Personally I’ve tried and I can’t do it. But they swear they never hang overs anymore.

did we ever learn of his strange reasons for not wanting to poop?

I’m surprised elon didn’t build a sub to go find the missing one and then call the coast guard a bunch of pedophiles

otterpops, and pink is the best, followed by blue

In my mind a popsicle has a stick and anything thats in a tube like this is an otterpop, even though otterpop is a brand name and ain’t nobody buying the real otterpops.

i can’t suck in my ass though

I had a shell account there many years ago didn’t know they had a Lemmy instance thanks for reminding me about them.

I was wondering about what would happen if you started a nonprofit and ran a Lemmy/Mastodon instance and charge like 1 or 2 bucks a month. So if it gets flooded with users you have money to scale it up. And hire admins and such. You get the stability and centralization of a corporation but no profit motive

This looks amazing but how do you eat it?

I live in Logan square so I’m gonna walk up there this weekend I think

I’m on a smallish lemmy instance and I just click “All” and I can see stuff from the bigger ones. Don’t really see what the issue is.

They only got so many shapes of meatloaf to stick on peoples heads give em a break

I’m from the seattle area and this isn’t unheard of there but its really uncommon. A man in monroe washington used an innertube as a getaway after a bank robbery. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Curcio

Theres plenty of rivers but most of them are not suitable for this. The state touches the ocean and is divided east/west by a giant mountain range. The NW peninsula is a giant mountain range. It’s anything but flat there. My last apartment there was about 100 feet from a cliff that fell off into the puget sound.

You’re more likely to get on a boat and paddle around and drink thank just get a river and see where it takes you. I’ve spent many an afternoon drinking beers in a canoe (you can have a fishing pole as cover)
