I would highly recommend the Bobiverse series. A fairly grounded sci-fi series that explores the idea of von numan probes (uploading people’s consciousnesses into machines that travel between stars and can self replicate).

The series is quite clean, but still explores deep and more mature topics such as: if you clone an AI consciousness, is it still you?

My guess has a few factors to it (in no particular order):

Cost soda syrup is likely a lot cheaper than the chemical concoction for energy drinks.

Safety Energy drinks pose a much greater health risk if the concentrations are off. Companies would have to prevent young children from accessing the machines (if they are used in restaurants). They would also have to prevent customers from drinking too much. I can also imagine chugging a bunch of the syrup would likely kill you (it’s bound to happen).

Flavor Control soda companies already accept and plan for the difference in fountain vs bottled sodas. I feel energy drink companies want as much control as possible to keep their brand image perfect.

I always like it when it pops up on my feed

Thanks 😊

I have. Made a post there a week or two ago.

You’re talking about [email protected] right?

Mine is doing surprisingly well and I still don’t fully believe it. It’s simply pics that make you think of the person you care about most, like a best friend or partner.

600 MAU, 260 subscribers, and plenty of upvotes. I guess people love being sappy 😆. I wasn’t expecting much activity to be honest. Not many people post their own images, but that’s alright by me.

Honestly, I really just made the community for the person I started falling in love with. (We’re talking about starting a serious relationship soon 😊). I haven’t shared the community with them yet, but I plan to soon. Now that it’s filled up with posts, I want to write them a long, sappy letter and share all the posts.

Ah, it’s an old reddit April fools

Is that a Sherman with a Tiger turret???

Sadly they are not mine. All of the pics I find are from random places on the Internet. A person in my house has severe allergies, so having pets is out of the question. One day I hope to be able to get my own pets.

Adorable!

That is so sweet and it warms my heart 💜

It really is a special community to me. Some day soon I want to show it to the special person in my life. I’ve been secretly finding all these pics just for them 😊

That makes me happy to hear! 💕

The way I see it, they are already a couple (likely boyfriend and girlfriend), but he just gets easily embarrassed and flustered. It’s honestly something I can relate to. Someone I like could probably get the same reaction out of me, and I wouldn’t mind.
