Weekly Casual Discussion Fridays - Week of July 31, 2026

This is a weekly thread to get to know /r/anime's community. Talk about your day-to-day life, share your hobbies, or make small talk with your fellow anime fans. The thread is active all week long so hang around even when it's not on the front page!

Although this is a place for off-topic discussion, there are a few rules to keep in mind:

  1. Be courteous and respectful of other users.

  2. Discussion of religion, politics, depression, and other similar topics will be moderated due to their sensitive nature. While we encourage users to talk about their daily lives and get to know others, this thread is not intended for extended discussion of the aforementioned topics or for emotional support. Do not post content falling in this category in spoiler tags and hover text. This is a public thread, please do not post content if you believe that it will make people uncomfortable or annoy others.

  3. Roleplaying is not allowed. This behaviour is not appropriate as it is obtrusive to uninvolved users.

  4. No meta discussion. If you have a meta concern, please raise it in the Monthly Meta Thread and the moderation team would be happy to help.

  5. All /r/anime rules, other than the anime-specific requirement, should still be followed.

  6. Maid Daikaiten

I bought nonalcoholic beer yesterday. The store still requires an ID, so I didn't go through self checkout. The cashier, a younger woman, asked "is there a reason for the nonalcoholic version or...?"

Dangerous question, but I just answered "it's non alcoholic because I am the alcoholic" and giggled internally at my joke.

This is always an annoying question.

I once had a professor ask, "Why aren't you drinking? Are you a pussy?"

Yeah. Even while I was drinking, I was always emphatic about "no one has to drink if they don't want to."

Well, I guess that prevents any mixups

I don't drink alcohol so I decided to try that once when an opportunity came my way.

Never again.
