Today I Learned
What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

MILLENNIALS destroying ANOTHER thing! WHY don't they just SPEND the Money we DONT give them on these BAD things that will Make them Feel like CRAP while making US Richer?
-Billionaires!
Oh no, it's definitely the zoomers for this one. Millennials were big on cocktails.
Millenials were also big on the whole craft beer thing (at least in North America, not sure how that trend played out in the rest of the world).
tf you guys mean "were"
In the case of the craft beer market, it's not nearly as overhyped as it once was.
Well, there was awhile when you could walk into a brewpub and order a variety of things. Stouts, ESBs, barleywines, porters...then Trump got elected the first time, and all beer became IPAs. They must be cheaper to make or something, but people who like beer that tastes like anything other than dogwood leaves were just fired as customers.
IPAs are way easier to make and harder to fuck up. Other beers are much more mild on the palate so you can taste imperfections. If an IPA tastes like shit, just add more hops until you can’t tell.
IPAs were definitely a trend by 2016.
You can make an IPA in half the time. Also, Lager is especially difficult.
Yeah, but hops is by far the most expensive ingredient of the beer. Especially the hops used in US IPAs. Easier to make, but definitely not cheaper.
not here, there's at least one craft brewery in every town.
also you made it sound like the past tense applied to the millenials themselves :P
It's because anyone over 30 automatically becomes a boomer. Gen X has been all boomers for a long time and no one noticed. Millennials are critically endangered, but if you donate to my "save the Millennials" fund, we may be able to bring them back from boomerism before it's too late.
Millennial here, IPAs are too expensive to have more than once a week or two. And getting them out at shows is fucking insane ($12-16).
The article mentions the largest producers, so I wonder how much of this is people buying from local breweries instead of drinking Budweiser.
Craft beer is huge in Australia
I lived in a part of Sydney famous for having dozens of breweries in a relatively small area
I could walk easily around some amazing places, and I could take my dogs to almost all of them
Americans are also big, and like 1/8 adults are on GLP-1s.
GLP-1s make the seltzer cans a hell of a lot more appetizing than a heavy/hoppy beer.
Yup. But millenials are getting to an age where hangovers are just not worth it, and you get gens are not continuing the slack. All my younger friends use all sorts of substances, but rarely alcohol...
I'm an elder millennial and I hardly ever drink, I know a lot of people like me. It's almost like generalizing is a bad idea.
Millennials taking credit for doing nothing, story at 11
For me, it was the colon cancer....
