Unless you are a feet fetish sub, I can’t think of another reason to like this drinking style

Aussies. And you'll do it with them, if you're ever lucky enough to be near their a celebrations

I know from Daniel Ricciardo popularized it in Formula 1

Less disgusting than allowing children to be slaughtered so that feeble excuses for men can own firearms to compensate for their inadequacies

Less disgusting than the genocide in Palestine

Less disgusting than Uighurs being used for slave labour because of their religion

There are many disgusting things in the world, this is light-hearted fun

[-] nun@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

Ah yes, the two choices: drinking beer from a shoe or committing genocide.

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Sir, this is a discussion about drinking beer from a shoe.

[-] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

I get that you're upset about these things, but they don't really have anything to do with this post.

Even the comment you're replying to is asserting a different kind of disgusting.

[-] FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com 0 points 1 month ago

I'm Australian, and people often seize the shoey as a way of telling me that we're all uncivilised filth

It's a sore spot, especially when it's just a laugh

I've never actually done a shoey

[-] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

I get that you dislike the stereotype, but it still doesn't have anything to do with the issues you listed.

[-] Fizz@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 month ago

To be fair, the Aussies that are doing shoeys are uncivilised filth. Ive also done a ton of shoeys and they are disgusting, you can taste the shoe.

Australia expects us to respect them as a nation and then they pull this shit

[-] dellish@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

And may I ask which oh-so-respectable nation you're from?

[-] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

You're cringe

[-] JustARaccoon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

If you're that close to disrespecting them as a nation on the world order for having some unique tradition you don't share, you never really respected their culture and were waiting for a chance for it to be excusable

There are two very different types of respect; respect for a person as a human being, and respect for a person as an authority. But because we use the same word for these two different things, people often talk as if they were the same thing. So for example, when someone in authority says “If you don’t respect me, I won’t respect you.” What they’re actually saying (and justifying) is “If you don’t respect me as an authority, I won’t respect you as a human being.”
