    Left is the DQ near my office. Consistently does that. Right is the DQ in the next town over.

      I 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.

        If you're at the lesser DQ, you could pay a couple extra bucks and upgrade it to the next size up. You would save from having to buy a gallon of gas if you're not electric and 20 minutes.

          No but I also wouldn't have bothered going to the closer DQ.

            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.

              No wonder where the global warming comes from. This looks to me like one of the stupidest wastes of energy.

                  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.

                    20 minutes each way? No. 20 minutes total? Yes. Though, not if I'm working. I'm not getting off later just to get some ice cream.

                        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.

                          I would report the DQ on the left to corporate. Fast food franchises have standards they meed to follow in order to not damage the brand. The franchise owner will absolutely get spanked for that.

                                  Take those pictures to the closer one, ask to see the manager, sweep your bangs back behind your ear, and Karen the fuck out of them. Justice achieved

                                    Yeah, but walking anywhere only feels good if you walk in shoes made from leather you have tanned from your own cow. Why even bother walking in mass produces fast fashion tennis shoes? Anyone can tan their own hide and make some shoes. It’s much more comfortable and a better fit than store bought.

                                          I 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).
