RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Make it into a float if you really dgaf about your health. Kinda redundant, but deliciously so.

A float everyone once in a while won't kill you.

I mean, even if it does, there are worse ways to go.

Yeah, like soggy bone syndrome.

I can't not take that bait... Gorham's disease... yeah that looks pretty awful.

Fun fact though: your bones are already soggy. Bones are super vascular, and marrow is where most of your blood is made. We think of bones as being these dry, white, brittle things, but those are just bones of some corpse that have long since dried up. Living bones are juicy.

Juicy Bones is my new rapper name.

How does one consume a float? Are you supposed to wait for the ice cream to melt and then drink it? Or do you have to rush to finish it before it becomes homogenous?

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I tend to do start nomming on it as soon as it's prepared before it's all mingled, but don't rush it. As I get to the end, the last quarter-glass or so it melted and homogenous. Gets the best of both worlds.
