    It’s like an AP Honors US History book

    Tell me you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about without telling me you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.

      Can someone tell me what they’re trying to say with that line? Does someone in the Monster marketing department think the covers of history textbooks are… Exciting?

        “This isn’t a drink for some woke liberal blue-haired nerd!”

        It almost feels like negging. They’re somehow trying to appeal to the non-nerd by playing up fake nerd cred? I don’t know. It’s entirely too confusing.

        Well besides not having enough education to know AP and Honors classes are different things; they’re trying to raise a patriot boner when some maga walks up to the drink case so they’ll buy the can. ~“This drink is so patriotic that you’ll be an expert in US history, and (take a shot at europe because magas are anti-europe) this ain’t no small European can,” referencing the tendency for 330ml (11.1oz) cans in the eu instead of the 12oz (~473ml)

          The funny thing is I don’t think I’ve ever seen the 330 ml monster can. Not that I really been looking since I’ve had one monster drink at one point in my life, and felt like I was gonna die.

            I only do energy drinks if I’m on the road for long hours late at night, just before i know i’m going to get tired and I slowly ramp up until i get tired again anyway.

            Caffeine has more of a subtle effect on me.

          Appropriate since a lot of LLMs sound like their training data had way too much marketing copy in it. It’s like a circular human centipede.
