Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

Malört is really popular here and I have no idea why. Some kind of hipster shibboleth.

It’s cause Malört is fucking gross so people started drinking it ironically and came full circle.

There’s a bar in Tennessee that specializes in Malört based mixed drinks. I tried some just to say I did and they were just OK.

I really wanna try it, just to try it.

I can't imagine continuing to drink it though.

Nashville or Chattanooga... I'm going with hipster Chatt

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

Nashville actually

This and Underberg. Most of my bartender friends love it and I’m still convinced they’re all fucking with me. I’d rather take a shot of Malört. But I’ll still join the round of Bergs for the camaraderie.

I got to liking it because I would drink it with friends, now it reminds me of the good times

You should be in marketing. "Have some Malört. It really ain't that bad."

This is what I say to my wife when she suggests I try some wine that she likes, which almost guarantees I won't.

Their actual marketing says it sucks, lol
