I remember my parents went to one once or twice a week in the nineties for a while.
We lived in a tiny town; I'm pretty sure it was the only cafe there.

When more of my friends lived a walkable distance from me it was more the pub round the corner a few times a week. Now people have dispersed a bit, things need to be a bit more scheduled and so we're less likely to fall into a default place
Coffee shops sadly don't tend to be open late so they're not really gonna work as the default place to casually meet mates for anyone in a 9-5 job IMO.
I miss my 24-7 coffee shop! I got to know so many people and still have some great friends from hanging around in the mid aughts to teens. Since COVID the trend seems to be closing earlier. I'm not into it.

I'm amused that the implicit limit in your comment, that the thing that makes drinking 10 beers a day impractical, is the cost.
Heh, I agree with LordWiggle completely. Pretty easy to put away 12 or so light beers in an afternoon... but I'm not dropping ~$90 to do it! A twelver of Tecates is only $16.50 with deposit - much more reasonable!

No. But in college, we had a pub we would go to for dinner on Wednesday every week with the same group of friends, with the occasional tag along. Does that count?

Did sex in the city use the same cafe all the time? I missed that I guess.

Didn't they used to go the same place for brunch? I could be wrong

Yes, but we call it a bar. Same thing, just less tea or coffee

When I was younger, certainly before kids, yeah, we had a couple different restaurants or bars where we'd meet up fairly regularly, for either a couple beers or some food, or both, or more.
This thread highlights the reality of Lemmy, and how it's representative of only a sliver of the population. The number of people saying "Friends?" is depressing.

wrote last edited by [email protected]When i have local friends, im usually the one who noveltysluts us out of having 'a place' we go to for food when we food. If i dont agitate for variation, it does not occur.

Does anyone have friends that see more than 2-3 times a year?
wrote last edited by [email protected]In person? Sorta. But im a freak of society if not nature, and am structurally odd enough i get referred to as fantasy creatures pretty regularly.

Do friendships like that actually exist? Did TV set me up for disapointment?
For some kinds of people, yes.
Often the very best and very worst, with narrow slivers in between.

Nobody can afford that shit anymore. That was a 80/90s adult thing. That or a bar @.@ our parents really got the last of it.
Mid-2000s in France I experienced this, tough we certainly weren't drinking coffee lmao.

We don't meet up in person too often, but my friends from college have a discord server that pretty much always at least 2 or 3 people chilling in. Sometimes we play games together, other times everyone is doing their own thing but it's nice to have people to talk to when gaming. Also most of us live too far from each other to meet up all the time. I guess this is like the modern day, post covid, equivalent of everyone meeting up in a bar or cafe after work

They absolutely still exist lol https://tgifridays.com/
There are 85 locations remaining in the united states. Thats down from 270 in the 90s. There are only four in California where I live.
They got bought up by private equity and gutted, just like red lobster.

My bf has a discord server with his friends too. Whenever one of this is online, they hop in the voice channel and just hang out. If someone else logs in, they chat, otherwise they just leave it up.

Yo when I was in high school you could go to the diner and spend $4 on a sandwich and fries and hang out. Now it’s like $20 for the same shit
