Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CruelWe’re here for laughs, not fights.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults

Rule 2: No Forbidden FormatsNot every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.

Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

i had oat butter a while back, and suddenly I understood why all the dairy conglomerates are lobbying hard about the legal names

Because they stand to lose a shit ton of money?

[–] AppleTea@lemmy.zip 88 points 10 months ago (28 children)

yes

oat milk is an alright substitute, helped by being cheap

oat ice cream has a slightly different texture and flavor, though its harder to notice in the Ben & Jerry's

But oat butter is indistinguishable from cow butter

That's because cow butter in many cases has like 0 unsaturated fatty acids. In such cases it doesn't even come from cows, but they hydrogenate oil to make a cheap and unhealthy replacement.
