The cobblestone roads shook up all the drinks I was carrying home on my bike 😠
It seems the solution to all your problems are:
- Big trucks
- Suburban sprawl
- Privatized healthcare
- Rabid anti-communism
- Christian-fascist leaders
Or a mountain bike with suspension
Or drinking less soda
nah, bring me my christian-fascist leaders!
/s
Or simply waiting a bit before drinking the soda to let the CO2 settle and stop being a whiny little baby about minor inconveniences.
Let a girl shitpost! My manager insisted that I take the day off to enjoy the nice weather and I’m bored as hell 😠
Lemmy Shitpost is actually a place where people can come and dissect humor, and eventually turn it political.
manager: have a day off, enjoy the nice weather!
home inside: 32°C
Maybe throw a housing association in there too. You’ve gotta make sure your fining people for growing the wrong flowers.
My mother and former stepfather wants it, because they think it’s only about making sure people mow their grass on the regular, because wasps might be nesting there.
Number 4 is reasonable if people are educated on what Marxism is in theory and practice
Two nuns are riding their bikes back to the convent.
One nun says to the other, “I don’t think I’ve ever come this way before.”
And the other one says, “It’s the cobblestones.”
Would have been fine if you bought real food/drink.
Great username
Ha! I needed baguettes, got two and tossed them in the bike basket, feeling so European, until one loaf bounced out and was run over by a car, at which point I felt oh so American!
As someone who’s lived on a cobblestone street before, it’s nice to look at, but a lot less functional than asphalt or concrete. Especially trying to walk home from the bar with a few drinks in you.
They’re apparently also pretty good for slowing down cars in pedestrian-heavy areas, but yeah, taking a fall on those after a few drinks does hurt like shit haha
I don’t live in Europe, but I’ve heard horror stories about how slippery those streets get in the rain
There’s a really good reason they’re only used on low speed streets and squares, and now large roads.
You are right. They are. But they’re less common than driveways in the US and I don’t know why you guys make yours so smooth that if there’s freezing weather you can’t even walk up it if there’s the tiniest incline.
Not that this is any sort of competition, just thought about it
They do, they get very slick in some conditions. In winter/freezing conditions it’s an outright hazard. But there really aren’t that many such streets left, and the few that are are slowly being changed to asphalt too.
Also a bitch to walk on in high heels, no matter the weather!
I was very fortunate to go on a vacation last month in Belgium where we rode bikes to several different towns.
It was awesome, but the cobblestone streets in some of those old cities are ROUGH. Just bone shaking. The chain on the bike I was riding bounced off once when I needed to shift.
The worst part is becoming accustomed to fresh, high-quality food and espresso within 100m of every human at all times.
Also, OP, why are you having “American Breakfast”? Where’s your croissant?
Where’s your croissant?
In my MOUF
Are you dipping that croissant in ketchup
I don’t think she’s Scandinavian.
That’s even “worse” than the 15 minute city. MAGA would lose their minds.
This is why you need aomwthing with tank treads. Like a tank for example
Stupid part is that I can’t ride a tank around here with all the tank-hostile architecture 😠 They got these triangular tank obstacles scattered around everywhere, it’s so inconvenient!

Op didn’t say if they were in Germany or not.
Cool them down and let settle before opening. Should help.
Shaking does not affect this the way you think it does. You’ll be fine as long as you wait like 10-60 seconds after shaking vigorously. The liquid and gas pressure inside will reach equilibrium, and no matter how much shaking you do, it won’t degas further.
Also, keep in mind that it’s mostly temperature and surface area that causes soda to degas (fall out of solution).
Fun fact: this is why paper straws are inferior to paper straws for soda, because paper is insanely more porous than plastic, and causes rapid degassing of the soda inside of the straw, rather than in your mouth, throat, and stomach. (There are other reasons, too, but this one is often not considered by most people)
Carry metal straws. They’re awesome
I raw dog my drinks.
I don’t like the way they taste. I’m on team glass straws.
Even better, no straw. Sip it straight from the cup.
Metal straws have to have a rubber or other dielectric mouthpiece, or electrolysis sets up in the mouth and the electrical activity confuses the hell out of the taste buds.
If that’s the worst part you’re having a goddamn amazing time.
Did you know there is a maximum pressure in the bottle, at which point shaking has no more effect since the pressure keeps the bubbles in your drink? This point is quickly reached, and already happened before it went into the store.
What kind of bike is that?
That’s a lot of sugary drink 😂
All I know is that it’s beige and from 2011! Held up pretty well all things considered, the battery still lasts for 10km or so, which is plenty for getting to work and doing grocery trips :D
Oh I helped someone fix one of those. Nice.
Looks pretty cool! Should have known it was an e-bike
Technically no sugar, it’s the ‘zero’ variant.
It’s Zero caffeine too! Which makes it the ‘zero zero’ variant, I think
Next level: zero American. Zero zero zero.
Are you drinking 0 caffeine coke because you have a life threatening heart condition or because you’re a child?
Both! I don’t have the self control to not drink caffeine before bed and stay up all night, but if I drink it during the day I get pretty bad chest pain because caffeine doesn’t play nice with my adhd meds :(
I find I need both ADHD meds and a quad espresso or two to be even borderline functional.
So where’s the problem?
A backpack would solve this. Our bodies are suspension, so just put anything shake-sensitive in your backpack while driving home.
but 6 liters of cola? you can’t fit that in a backpack
Why not?
I just backpacked home 18 cans which is about exactly 6 litres.
But I could easily also fit 3 2 l bottles or 6 1l bottles or 12 0.5 bottles.
And that still leaves like half to a third of my backpack available, depending on the shape of the containers.
Backpacks are usually around 20-30 liters in size.
Edit also tbh that looks more like 6 1.5l bottles but I’m not sure of that and I think it’ll they’d fit in my backpack
1.25L actually if you look at the top of them. but that must be an exceptionally big backpack. or maybe that size is just not that common in my country for some reason
It’s not really not the size, most backpacks really are at least 20 liters. It’s the shape. But mine would take 6 1.25 litre bottles, easy. It’s a large quality rucksack. I’ve had it for literally more than a quarter of a century. Something like 26-27 years prolly.
But I agree, 6x 1.25 l bottles in a very basic backpack might present a challenge, because it’s usually not wide enough for one to go sideways on the bottom (mine is tho, for 1.25l, which is uncommon size here tho). Or just put three at the bottom and then three upside down on top of them. Even a basic backpack could do that I’m sure.
Might not close all the way properly but surely would hold them. I’ve had easily 24 cans in my backpack. The straps lasted for 20 years or something then one time I jumped a fence with like 30 cans and the left strap just broke. (but the fall was like 2 meters, not just a tiny fence you know) It had been kinda dying for a few years and the replacement is subpar to the material it used to be but still.
There are all imaginable backpack sizes in my country.
As long as they’re hot they shouldn’t pop. The fizzing over should only happen when it’s cold.
