mooklepticonWould you drive an extra 20 minutes (10 miles) to get the blizzard on the right?
Mister NeonI wouldn’t walk 20 feet for those. Fast food is not healthy or cheap. The ice cream you can make at home is easy, cheap, and usually tastes better than anything you can purchase.
Why does everyone on Lemmy seem to get so snarky about convenience? They’re talking about an ice cream that they can get while they’re at work, not everyone has the free time to make ice cream themselves. And I bet even if they did someone would be snarky about how milk tastes better if you milk your own cow for it instead of buying it.
Heightened snobbery brought about by inherent nicheness in this forum.
Oh people. Lol
Because I was raised by an idiot redneck that fed me the typical American diet, I was an unhealthy fat kid. So I’m going to call garbage out when I see it.
wizardbeardI mean this as softly as possible:
It’s not your job to shout at people online and be negative about things in relation to your personal past traumas.
You might be intending it as help, but you’re just coming across like a raging asshole.
This sort of behavior is a sign that you have a lot of shit to work through still. I’d expect that this sort of aggressive admonishing didn’t work on you, and is part of that shit you have to work through. Don’t perpetuate it.
From: Someone raised by a narcisist anxiety riddled wino with emotional regulation issues, and an absentee emotionally unavailable depressive man with ADHD.
Not trying any sort of one upmanship, just highlighting that plenty of people have personal traumas. Try to not make it the world’s problem to deal with.
Few things:
It seems to me that people here are getting really upset by the idea that buying a sugary treat commercial product is trashy. Growing up I had no choices other than trash. Now I’m going to call out trashy behavior when I see it. Eating junk food is trashy.
talAnd I bet even if they did someone would be snarky about how milk tastes better if you milk your own cow for it instead of buying it.
That’s why you just grab a few buddies and some axes and chainmail and raid a farmstead, let the farmer class do the herding and milking. Though that does raise the difficult issue of how far you’re willing to travel on your raid to get the best milk.
how far you’re willing to travel on your raid to get the best milk
I’ll travel to the private room to get the breast milk, that’s for sure.
“You use a machine to make your own ice cream? A hand crank doesn’t use electricity and produces a superior product.”
It sounds like Dairy Queen technically sells what was sold as “ice milk”, since it has a lower butterfat content than “ice cream”, until the federal government removed that classification in 1995:

The Reason Ice Milk Isn’t A Thing Anymore
Many current popular frozen desserts were once categorized as ice milk and more in fast food restaurants than most people realize. According to Dairy Queen, its soft serve cannot be labeled ice cream because it only contains 5% butterfat and was called ice milk until the FDA eliminated the category. “DQ® soft serve fits into the ‘reduced-fat’ ice cream category and our shake mix qualifies as ‘low-fat’ ice cream,” it states.
Dairy Queen is far from the only fast-food chain that doesn’t actually carry ice cream — at least not the legal definition. The next time you order a Chick-fil-A’s Icedream or McDonald’s ice cream, you’re eating the modern version of ice milk.
It sounds like ice milk is more prone to ice crystal formation than ice cream.
I don’t know if it’s possible to do a Blizzard by hand crank. Like, even if you had the same mix, it might require more-vigorous machine mixing to keep the mixture smooth.
Sounds to me like you’re a quitter
I guess one could invent some sort of mechanical cranked device that maybe has multiple people cranking and some sort of geared system to combine their inputs and produce the same level of mixing as an electrically-driven system.
See, there you go! Now, for the mix-ins: you can’t just go buy a Snickers bar, that has a plastic wrapper and HFCS. Making your own Snickers is so much better and rewarding. And you’d better mix it in by hand!
I know for certain when I had the icedream’s as a kid, there were a ton more of the ice crystals that you could feel. It was one of the appeals, honestly, when done right, because it was different enough from regular ice cream to be a novelty.
miss_demeanourI’m bemused that TheWeirdestCunt is pissed about snarky.

throbbing_banjoI think you’re just picking up on the fact that we’re better than everyone else. It’ll sink in eventually and you’ll become one of us.
For instance, you probably posted this comment on a malware-laden capitalist phone or, even worse, a store-bought computer running Windows, with dirty factory electricity.
I, on the other hand, am posting this comment on a solar-powered pc built entirely of recycled parts, purchased locally and anonymously with foraged currencies. I haven’t seen a single advertisement in my entire life, and while I do run Linux,I won’t tell you which distro it is (Arch, btw) unless you ask.
You’ll get it eventually, unless you’re a tankie. Or a liberal. Or a vegan (or not a vegan, we haven’t made up our minds on that yet).
not everyone has the free time to make ice cream themselves
But they have the free time to drive some extra 20 miles for ice cream? I mean, the whole thread exploded in shitty takes, but driving some 35ish kilometres extra for some extra ice cream is a wild take to begin with 😅
