I'm disappointed in you, Lemmy. The Dune jokes are lagging behind the drek comments.

Shai Hulud is disappointed in you. Be prepared to appreciate what you meet.

I immediately thought, oh good, we will at least have stillsuits when the world becomes a desolate wasteland.

Brickhead92@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

That's great and all, but us regular folk aren't going to have enough spice to buy our own stillsuits.

Bless the Maker and His water. Bless the coming and going of Him. May His passage cleanse the world. May He keep the world for his people.

Anheuser Busch is.

InBev is Brazilian.

AB-Inbev owns Budweiser.

hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Bud light?

Cipher22@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Yup. Most of the "domestic" brands in the US are owned by Belgium's InBev.

There are a couple of exceptions, Yuengling, for example. Anymore, if you want actual American beer, you're getting a local craft.

What if u suc on pp through lifestraw

threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 2y

A Lifestraw is a mechanical filter for particles as small as bacteria, but it won't filter out any dissolved compounds like salt, so it wouldn't keep you hydrated.
