Almost 70% of the global population of adult humans are lactose intolerant. Whether you think drinking milk as an adult is weird or not, it isn’t something most human adults can easily do without digestive problems, and, because of that, it’s somewhat unusual to many people.

It’s extremely regional though. Lactose intolerance is definitely the minority in the English-speaking world that would be on here.
WoahWoah@lemmy.world 5 months ago
English is the most spoken language in the world.
Most lactose tolerant people are white.
Are you subtly trying to say you assume most people on Lemmy are white?
It’s pretty clear just by reading this thread that there pretty mixed opinions about the idea of an adult drinking a glass of milk. Some find it viscerally disgusting and others find it completely normal.

I assume you mean languages that are either spoken as a first or second language, because if you just look at native speakers, more people speak Mandarin than English.

Yeah, I’m assuming most people are American or European. I think 40% is a high estimate, but even among the lactose intolerant people I know in real life, I’ve never met one who thinks drinking milk is weird. Most even consume dairy products, just lactose-free versions or enduring the consequences.

There is lactose free cow water. Also, plant based milk doesn’t have lactose.

This thread has been so weird for me because apparently something I’ve always done without ever giving any thought to is weird to people. I don’t give a fuck. It’s all in jest, anyways.

What’d you type that fact all weird?

In case you are sincerely wondering:
It has become common to show sarcasm or mockery through that random capitalisation of letters in text.
It was originally popularised by the mocking spongebob meme but its use can be traced back evenmearlier, according to Wikipedia.

I thought I was gonna start some shit by saying it’s more like being a vegan at a restaurant, but I see everyone’s already fighting.

Is this really the first time in your life that you’ve realized that drinking milk as an adult is unusual?
WoahWoah@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I find it pretty disgusting to even watch, but I don’t sit around staring at people eating or drinking things that I find distasteful.
We could definitely have a dinner and you can have a tall frothy glass of milk right from the cow’s udder with it. If you’re fun to talk to and aren’t mean, we good.
