This is anecdotal but pretty much all of the lactose intolerant people I know love dairy more than the lactose tolerant people. Something as small as your body not processing milk isn’t enough to stop them
Plant: I’m going to evolve a noxious chemical that feels like pure fire on a mammal’s taste buds to protect my seeds from them.
Humans:
Humans: Let’s breed all these pants together to maximize production of the chemical, invent a rating system to determine which ones have the most, then hold competitions to see who can tolerate the highest levels.
MOUTH HOT
It’s the innate desire to defy nature that drives us to our dairy addiction
Yeah… but my wife hates it when I consume cheese… even though they claim it’s lactose free…
Completely spitballing here based on your anecdotal observation, but I know that with lactose-intolerance, you’re lacking lactase for processing the lactose, so the lactose makes it unprocessed into the gut, where the gut microbiota then process the lactose and cause the usual symptomes.
Well, and those gut microbiota can signal to your brain that they want more of a given food (source).
So, maybe those bacteria in your gut fucking love lactose, because it is basically sugar, and so they instruct you to self-destruct.

The entire .zip TLD is blocked as a security risk.
Maybe don’t use a domain that looks like a virus payload.
Maybe I’m not technically literate enough to get what you’re saying, but these are jpg images
That website domain ends in .zip
The .zip domain is blocked for me because it looks like a virus/malware site.
Nobody legit should be using a .zip website.
Damn, I had no idea difference versions of Lemmy would be blocked because of the domain name. Fucking hell, I just moved from beehaw not too long ago
It’s not a Lemmy thing.
It’s a new domain Google introduced over the objections of security experts.
Why would any legit site choose that domain?
It’s like putting your website at virus.com or something.
He’s talking about your instance’s Top Level Domain (TLD). Mine is .pt and yours is .zip.
Literally build different.
They had a gourmet cheese tasting in a luxury hotel in Beijing some years ago; it was treated with the same kind of combination of curiosity, wonder and mild horror that the west would regard, say, fermented shark or sheep’s eyeballs with.
Now that’s an analogy I can understand.
I say, let’s top these things with melted cheese, so that all people face the buffet with the same feelings. 🤤🤨🤤🤨🤤🤨
I don’t get the lactose intolerance thing. I’m Chinese and I have no problem with dairy, milk is common at supermarkets across East Asia. Korean and Japanese people love slathering cheese on things. Coffee with milk is really common in China.
I look at stats like how we are supposed to be 98% lactose intolerant and think I’m being gaslit one way or another. At this point I know more lactose intolerant white people than Asian people.
Well lactose intolerant doesn’t mean you can’t have any dairy at all. I think it means you have to manage your lactose intake. They can still have it in moderation (maybe not everyone, but in a lot of cases)
I’m not east asian myself so I can’t speak from personal experience, but I was listening to this english scholar explain different regions of chinese cuisine and her take is that milk is becoming more popular but cheese is still very niche. Here’s the conversation for anyone who may be interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onWbXaRFge0 .
My wife is like this. She can’t have a lot of dairy but she handles cultured dairy better. So yogurt she can eat a lot of and can have cheese on stuff as she pleases but only a spalsh of real milk or cream. Can’t handle a glass by itself or a bowl of milk.

There’s no such thing as “lactose intolerance”. Adult humans just don’t need milk for anything.
It’s just far less severe than something like gluten or nut allergy. Most people just will fart more or go to the bathroom more than usual and they won’t even connect that to the fact that they just consumed milk. Source: I am Asian.
I live in Taiwan.
Can confirm that plenty of shit is slathered in cheese and/or mayo, milk is readily available at any store, there’s an absurd amount of Häagen-Dazs, and milk tea is the most commonly purchased beverage in the whole country.
Butter can be a bit scarce, though, strangely.
As a Western European, I can verify this. I will fight you for cheese. Doesn’t matter if it’s blue stilton, sharp cheddar, chevre, feta, or maasdam. Cheese is life.
Btw, there’s a batch of people on the westcoast of africa who developed lactose tolerance indepently. Seems it happens all the time, if a community relies heavily on livestock.
I mean, if it’s “milk or death”, evolution, uh, finds a way.
More a case of respective genes being conveniently exposed on the strang.
Anger and disgust look like they should be switched to me.

I exclusively drink dog milk, it’s actually sweeter than dairy.
It’s a bit sad when you have to keep immediately taking the puppies away from the female dogs and they sniff around and search for them for months and months, howling and barking.
But it’s a whole lot cuter than cows when you kill the male dogs (because they don’t produce milk), it’s cute seeing them wag their little tails right before the bolt to the brain!
Plus dog milk is better for the environment! Not as good as plant milk, but the idea of consuming plants is “ick”.
Nothing wrong with dog’s milk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfI_YUGjqFs
