I don’t blame them. You might get shot.

That we live in a time where showing ice-less beverages in media could be portrayed as rebellious is just remarkable.

I want a large country with no ice

[-] shyguyblue@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

I've been playing Planet Crafter a ton lately. The storage locker I keep the ice in is labeled "frozen water" so I don't get mad while playing :/

[-] mech@feddit.org 13 points 1 week ago

Is that even legal?

While working in fast food, I realized just how disgusting the ice bin gets. Also: the amount of drink you get is at least 1/3 less after ice is added and temperature has never been a huge concern to me. I'd much rather have a slightly warmer beverage than one diluted with germ-laden water. So, yeah. Fuck ICE (and adding frozen water to beverages).

Honestly I'd be fine with them under filling the soda. I just don't want my drink cold, but also yeah. The ice chute is nearly impossible to clean, so it doesn't get clean.

Imma start ordering all my drinks by following up with "abolish ICE."

Does the same apply to tacos as well? 🌮

[-] hightrix@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

I’ve never heard anyone hesitate to ask for ice in their taco.

[-] nocturne@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 week ago

As a vegetarian, I always eat my tacos without chicken.

[-] TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

"One taco, no chicken, no ice."

That's going to be a pretty interesting order to hear.

I guess they wouldn't ask for crushed ice either

[-] TachyonTele@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago

I'm asking for crushed ice

[-] wolfeh@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago

I certainly would. 😁

[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I've been saying "extra frozen water" recently

[-] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

The word ice might die out soon

[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Without being preceded by "FUCK"/

[-] aloofPenguin@piefed.world 7 points 1 week ago

I remember having this exact conversation/ epiphany yesterday night with family

[-] Alienmonkey@mander.xyz 6 points 1 week ago

I contend that morphic resonance is a thing.

Showerthoughts

40347 readers

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
