Y'all are way overthinking it. Just say "thanks dawg" to everyone you meet. It even works on dogs!

I also will petition the masses to entertain my personal hill to die on: "dude" is a gender neutral term, and can be so again. As the 1900s-era philosopher Keluardo Joharæon Rice Mitchell, "I'm a dude, she's a dude, he's a dude, cus we're all dudes, hey!"

I believe "Bruh" has replaced dude in common speech. The number of times I have mothers telling their children not to call them bruh is ridiculous.

I’ve had someone unironically get angry at me for calling them dude, because it offended their gender identity THEN happily accept a bruh thrown at them.
