All the love to my flawless wifey, who took the beautiful background picture and continually loves me in spite of my insanity. Be prepared to find anything here, particularly of Superbattish, Skyrimish, Harry Potterish, Human rightsish or Doctor Whoish origin!

Even in death you cannot respect a woman enough to use her name. How disgusting.

[canecadet]

Jesus fucking Christ. She was a real life WARRIOR and the only thing these people value is her physical aesthetic. You have got to be fucking kidding me.

[amorphousrex]

I cannot fucking believe this, she was a 19-year-old Kurdish woman with a name. NINETEEN-fucking-years-old and she led an all-female battalion against known ISIS groups in Syria, and they comment on her appearance before her rank, her age and don’t even use her fucking name? RIP Asia Ramazan Antar, you will be remembered.

The Los Angeles Women’s March expected 80,000. 750,000 reportedly showed up.

All across the U.S. — and around the globe — participants came out for women’s marches on Saturday. In Los Angeles alone, the turnout exceeded organizers’ expectations almost 10 times over.

Organizers expected 80,000 people to show up to march in Downtown LA, one NBC LA reporter said in a tweet. But the total was closer to 750,000, according to updates from the organizers.

Celebrities came out for the LA chapter of the march, too — Barbra Streisand, Kerry Washington, Natalie Portman, Ariana Grande, Laverne Cox and Demi Lovato were all reportedly at the march. Read more

[fuck-customers]

Lmao this American girl walked up to a Hungry Jacks (Burger King) register with her drink and really, really loudly (I was at the other side of the place) proclaimed: “I asked for Lemonade, you gave me Sprite” in a really bitchy, entitled voice.

The cashier (and everyone within earshot) just looked at her like “the fuck is wrong with you”

In Australia, Sprite IS lemonade as far as we’re concerned.

Enjoy your 90c refund you cheap ass ho.

[jhenne-bean]

“Sprite IS lemonade as far as we’re concerned”

[freshest-tittymilk]

@fleamont can you verify?

[movednowbye-deactivated20221103]

Yeah this is correct. Lemonade is sprite. Clear fizzy liquid type thing. Solo is closer to what American lemonade is but we don’t actually have what you guys consider lemonade anyway so she was never going to get what she wanted lmao.

[freshest-tittymilk]

Y'ALL AIN’T GOT LEMONADE?!?!??

madness…

[fiontan]

LEMONADE AND SPRITE ARE NOTHING ALIKE

[verdytai]

Things heating up in the drink fandom

[fairytalesandimaginings]

I’m pretty sure the same is true in the UK at least was in 2010 except Sprite didn’t seem to be a common brand so I’d ask for Sprite get blank looks eventually figured out to ask for lemonade 

[questions-within-questions]

Sprite is a recognised brand here, but it’s not omnipresent, it is also considered a brand of lemonade.

[larena]

This is fucked up.

[tparadox]

Sprite: lemon-lime soda (pop/carbonated beverage). Lemonade: lemons, water, and sugar. Still.

[zarekthelordofthefries]

LEMONADE IS NOT CARBONATED WHATT HEFUCC CK ARE YOU ALL DOIGN

[taiey]

Living? Sensibly?

Also on what planet does Sprite have lime in it.

[romansnow]

Sprite, the lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage, is made on Earth.

Earth is the third planet from the Sun, the densest planet in the Solar System, the largest of the Solar System’s four terrestrial planets, and the only astronomical object known to harbor Sprite.

The people of Earth are known as “Earthlings” or “Spriteloids” interchangeably (although not to each other).

[elsandifer]

At least in the UK, if you order lemonade you’ll sometimes get Sprite, but if it’s proper it’s a lemon soda akin to the Italian gassosa - less sweet than Sprite.

[froborr]

Oh shit, I’ve had gassosa, it’s AMAZING.

[elexuscal]

I just want to say that the whole ‘lemonade and Sprite are interchangeable’ is pretty common throughout Asia as well, in my experience

[kingkilling-and-stormlight]

@bre-e-e-e what madness is this?!?!?!?!

[bre-e-e-e-deactivated20170219]

@kingkilling-and-stormlight so… what you are all saying is. Lemonade is … not fizzy… in America?

[lierdumoa]

You guys have orange juice at least, right? Grapefruit juice? In the US, Lemonade is a juice, like orange juice, but made with lemons instead of oranges. You can buy “fresh squeezed lemonade” at many restaurants and fast food venues. Typically it’s diluted a bit with sugar water, so the sour flavor of the raw lemon juice isn’t so overpowering. 

In the south, it’s very common for people buy whole lemons and make their own lemonade at home using a citrus juicer.

[monanotlisa]

In Germany, you’d ask for “Limonade” and yeah, you may get a Sprite or a Fanta; it’ll always be a fizzy nonalcoholic drink and usually come in lemon, lime, orange flavor. Only in healthfood or hipster establishments would it ever be an actual juice drink.

[minim-calibre]

As a fan of homemade rosewater lemonade, I am twitching at the thought of sickly sweet carbonated beverages that taste like they were invented by someone who may have been in the same room as a citrus fruit once but can’t remember what it actually tastes like being called lemonade.

[orcasocks-blog]

Wtf did y'all think beyonce was talking about????

[scuttleboat]

oh wow I hadn’t even considered that. Like millions of people worldwide hearing the album title but not understanding what lemonade means even on the most superficial level.

[maramcgregor]

This is so epically disturbing. Lemonade is such an integral part of spring and summertime. I just … this breaks my brain and my heart. The cultural references too. Just, all the American shows that reference lemonade and people in other countries are thinking Sprite? There’s a reason kids do freshly squeezed lemonade stands. You can’t buy it like that from a store. And there’s nothing quite like screwing it up and getting the sugar ratio wrong. And parents grinning through the too sour or too sweet mess and praising your efforts. Lemonade Is a Thing.

[fastphoridae]

Wait does that mean Aussies make Shandies with sprite?????

[pandor-pandorkful]

Does this mean a significant portion of the global population don’t know what to do when life hands you lemons?

[fozmeadows]

Yes, Australians make Shandies with our carbonated soft drink lemonade, though if you’re using it as a mixer, you’re less likely to be using Sprite and more likely to be using Schweppes, which looks like this:

Like. We absolutely have a concept of flat, juice-based lemonade, but as an earlier commenter said, it’s a niche hipster speciality rather than the default, and even then, it’s still going to be premade rather than fresh. 

[jeremiagoeswoah]

OH GOD THAT’S WHY AMERICAN CHILDREN CAN MAKE IT AND SELL IT SO EASILY. I ALWAYS WONDERED HOW KIDS COULD MAKE A CARBONATED DRINK AT HOME.

Buffy breast feeds Cody on Sesame Street (x)

[amaditalks]

This was 1976. Big Bird understood and was wholly accepting and empathetic toward Buffy breastfeeding in public, and Big Bird is meant to be the equivalent of a preschool aged child, but every single day on social media, adults exclaim disgust toward breastfeeding in public and misogyny at the parents who do so. People, you’re less evolved than

Big Bird was 38 years ago. Grow the hell up.

[smallworldofbigal]

holy shit.  I had NO idea Sesame Street covered this topic.

[deducecanoe-deactivated20161213]

And Buffy was Native American. And she breastfed. In front of muppets and children. No one died.
