Would you drive an extra 20 minutes (10 miles) to get the blizzard on the right?

Leather? You want to kill a cow just so you can walk around? A few days barefoot and you'll grow your own self-replenishing leather. If you really must waste resources on your feet, I recommend cutting up an old, used tire. Same techniques as leather footwear, but re-use rather than murder.

First, forget about using steel belted tires. Just don’t try it. They are HARD to cut no matter how you do it and it is dangerous with tiny bits of steel flying around your face and eyes. Not to mention that eventually you will get a sliver of steel in your finger or foot. If you have ever gotten steel in your finger, you know how aggravating that is.
There are plenty of nylon belted tires you can use. The most common source is the little donut spare tires in newer cars. These are the ones marked ‘Temporary Use Only and Don’t drive over 45 miles per hour.’ The reason being, they are not steel belted. You can get these at the junkyard or just steal one out of your neighbor’s car when they are unloading groceries.

Trivia: while the phrase "American as apple pie" is a thing, it's something of a misnomer. Apples aren't New World, and apple pie was a thing prior to Europeans heading over to the Americas.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple
Apples have been grown for thousands of years in Eurasia before they were introduced to North America by European colonists.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_pie
Originating in the 14th century in England, apple pie recipes are now a standard part of cuisines in many countries where apples grow.
Apple pie was brought to the colonies by the English, the Dutch, and the Swedes during the 17th and 18th centuries.
Although originating in England and eaten in Europe since long before the European colonization of the Americas, apple pie as used in the phrase "as American as apple pie" describes something as being "typically American".[31][32] In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, apple pie became a symbol of American prosperity and national pride. A newspaper article published in 1902 declared that "No pie-eating people can be permanently vanquished."[33] The dish was also commemorated in the phrase "for Mom and apple pie"—supposedly the stock answer of American soldiers in World War II, whenever journalists asked why they were going to war. Jack Holden and Frances Kay sang in their patriotic 1950 song "The Fiery Bear", creating contrast between this symbol of U.S. culture and the Russian bear of the Soviet Union:
We love our baseball and apple pie
We love our county fair
We'll keep Old Glory waving high
There's no place here for a bearMaybe we should use "American as chocolate chip cookies" --- those were invented in the US.

Left is the DQ near my office. Consistently does that. Right is the DQ in the next town over.
Nah, for the obvious gas reasons. Now, is it was a Foster Freeze... still nah, but I'd certainly consider it if I had other business in that town and could get a Boss burger alongside it.

I used to love Dairy Queen until I went vegan. Now they can go fuck themselves for supporting an industry that rapes and abuses animals.
no one is raping animals.

Honestly dude, just show them the picture, and tip an extra 2 bucks when you go. They’re minimum wage workers, they don’t give a fuck and they do not get tips ever at dq. They will remember that shit forever and do that for you.

You're assuming the one on the left isn't the one already doing it correctly.
As a former DQ regular (one of my favorite treats as I drove cross-country) I can say that the one on the left is definitely very short. Like, "I want my money back" full Karen "I want to speak to the manager" short.

No shit. I used to live in New York, where I could take the subway everywhere. When I moved to Orlando, including the cost of a car, my cost of living tripled. Living in New York was cheaper.
Heard. You just can't replace what cities have

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!

This question is more American than apple pie and an AR-15.
Edit: I've started some shit with the apple pie.
Right?

Theres a difference between everyday conveniences and going out of your way to waste $5 in fuel to get marginally more ice cream.

20 minutes total or 40 minutes total? Honestly probably no to both. Depends how regularly it is.

Well, if you've ethical issues with ranching, there is an ice cream option!
Breast Milk Ice Cream A Hit At London Store
Anyone pining for some ice cream in London now has an unusual option to consider: ice cream made from mothers' breast milk. The Icecreamists shop has made headlines for using milk from as many as 15 women to make its new "Baby Gaga" flavor.

Hey it’s that joke about how do you know if someone’s vegan “don’t worry they’ll tell you”

Yes, it's not hard.
That’s a fine suggestion in a cooking forum, and completely asinine to a general audience.

It looks like they never expanded out-of-state, so probably not an option for OP.

Everywhere I have lived and visited that was car centric has had local dairy farms with ice cream nearby. Lucky? Or do I just look around more than others?
