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

Left is the DQ near my office. Consistently does that. Right is the DQ in the next town over.
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 $3-5 in fuel and maintenance, so probably not

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.

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.

I wouldn’t drive to a dq just for a blizzard

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.
wrote last edited by [email protected]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'm bemused that TheWeirdestCunt is pissed about snarky.
Automatic upvote. -

Your recommendation is to make your own ice cream?! Lmao

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).

No wonder where the global warming comes from. This looks to me like one of the stupidest wastes of energy.
What are we even doing freezing cream? Adds carbon to the air to chill stuff. And cream? Belching, farting cows. Plus they put flavors in it, which are totally unnecessary.

No, because 40 minutes of gas isnt worth the sub par ice cream.

Yes, it's not hard.

Why is everything a parody of the original lol. Flurry.. Blizzard.. Anyway what's everyone's opinion on this, are Dairy Queen's Blizzards better than Mcdonalds' Flurries?

“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.

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.
I 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.

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.
