You aren’t imagining it, they add various types of gum and additives to slow melting rates of real ice cream, and a lot of ice cream is straight up fake - “frozen dairy dessert” is a euphemism for fake ice cream often padded out with cheaper ingredients like vegetable oils.

Honestly now-a-days one of the few ways we are going to protect ourselves is to rely on the ingredients list our governments mandate and familiarize ourselves with what products are actually what they claim they are, whether they contain anything questionable, and what euphemisms they use to hide undesirable ingredients. (Hydrogenated Oil == Trans Saturated Fat, Natural Sweeteners == Sugar, Corn Syrup == cheap substitute for sugar)

For those of us in the US (yes I know this is world - sorry) we can only hope the brain worm dead bear boy doesn’t gut the FDA as badly as he promises, or companies are going to start adding all sorts of fun stuff to our food.

Educate yourself and your friends about “the poison squad”, fascinating story of the kinds of crazy shit they used to put in food. Copper sulfate in canned peas and such.

Yep, hoping he’s not stupid enough to do that. However, on the other hand brain worms…

It still has a bit of gum in it (hard to find without these days) but that talenti stuff in the US appears to be real cream still - honestly that’s the big kicker for me with ice cream, too much gum or any vegetable product just makes it not worth the calories 🤢

All those bryer/haggen das big brand ones have so much air whipped into them it’s like eating frozen foam. Same with most chains’ milk shakes right now, they melt into nasty foam.

TIL - Thank you!

Yup, they started to force me to drive to an office where none of the people I work with are, now that’s the only place I do work for them.

Used to think about and work on projects after hours if I found them interesting or realized a solution I hadn’t thought of. They’ve shown me they don’t care about my comfort, so I don’t feel the need to care about their problems either. The work will be there tomorrow.

They’re so divorced from reality that they think we’d just give up extra hours of our lives for commuting and keep up the same work output. Fuckin nope, going switch to doing the bare minimum it takes to keep you signing checks.

Hilarious. Logitech’s software has always been an afterthought and now they want me to pay for it? Goooo fuck yourselves. I had to sell a perfectly good keyboard and mouse because their stupid g-hub is harder to navigate than a g-spot.

It kept doing updates and every time it did, it would clobber all my macros and bindings and basically factory reset. I had a txt document on my desktop with all my configs so I could set them back up whenever it decided the configuration gods required a sacrifice.

Anything unrelated to elephants is irrelephant.

But did you ever CONSIDER that Stalin was a GENUS and those people DESERVED to die for disagreeing with him?! Did you!? HMMM!?!?!

Squirm, you giant bag of rats!

Fuck yeah, make that piece of shit feel bad. Pure uncut Colombian schadenfreude.

Glad you and your lizard are safe!

This is the weirdest cyberpunk future.

On one hand, we have surgeons performing surgery with literal augmented reality,

On the other hand, if you’re poor you’ll never have an iota of a chance of seeing that doctor.

I want off mr. bones wild ride.

“Did she do it because she’s not black? More from our thinly veiled racist guest at 8.”

Any roadblocks? Any roadblocks? Squaaa, any roadblocks?

But you kick off the lava? Your foot would melt fam

Yeah this is what I’ve heard as well. Aging Wheels goes into it a bit in this review of a concept car, kinda neat - it has pedals like a bicycle but the energy they add is a tiny fraction of what the thing needs to move.

Edit: oops, I’m combining two of his vids in my head, this one is just solar not pedals.

He’s been on so many it’s hard to keep track of, apparently.

This timeline is so dark I feel like it owes us this - please let him get elected and booted a second time

That’ll be why they just pushed a “agree to our new license with arbitrage or your tv is a brick” update

“Wait, why isn’t the monster I’ve created listening to me??”

I think the “Congratulations, homosexual!” aperture science meme sums it up pretty well.

He’s rich, his justice system is not the same as ours

There’s technically enough food for nobody to starve, so nobody can be starving!

The exact same way it works in the rest of the world right now, right?

…right??

If pornhub statistics from before they pulled out of Texas (pun intended) are any indication, they’re statistically likely to like the naughty corner.

Bahhh that sucks. At least it was just stuff that got busted, stuff can be fixed or replaced.

Glad you’re safe, yo

Jokes on you I’m a tardigrade

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!!

Airlines hate them for this one weird trick!

Artists telling the RNC to stop fucking playing their songs is always very fun

Also lmao they put a video of her singing on the giant screen too… that seems a step further than the normal just playing their songs without permission

Dawww, make sure you write something nice and “encrypt” it the same way before you send it ☺️

Welp, turns out they’re still the same old Catholic Church after all. Whoda thunk it? 🙄

People reply “why are you still here?”

Arf arf :3

If any of us did something like this we’d get years.

With the sheer amount of money that the rich are throwing at OpenAI via investment firms, they don’t need nor want to charge imo. The fact that they’re being built into Apple’s ecosystem and are getting name-dropped to people inside of iOS is kinda what their investors want.

It’s the age old “walmart opens and operates at a loss for 2 years to force others out of business, then jacks the price” model.

Investors want them to cement this as The AI company & brand so that once it gets giant and starts to be profitable just by being the biggest gorilla in the room, the shares they bought are worth more.

So what I’m trying to say is that our version of capitalism is perfect and makes lots of sense and is in no way insane and degenerate.

Of course, he delivered the activist Supreme Court that they always dreamed of.

I mean… there can be…

Well that makes sense, seeing as there’s absolutely no other way to tell if someone might be interested other than touching them in private areas and seeing if they like it or not…

Christ on a bike, what the fuck.
