The cobblestone roads shook up all the drinks I was carrying home on my bike 😠

Two nuns are riding their bikes back to the convent.

One nun says to the other, β€œI don’t think I’ve ever come this way before.”

And the other one says, β€œIt's the cobblestones.”

Would have been fine if you bought real food/drink.

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 29 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (2 children)

How would padding it with vegetables have helped? Would seltzer water have been less shaken up?

Shaming someone biking to and from the store for getting zero calorie soda is ridiculous. Post the contents of your last trip to the grocery store. Made on foot or bike I’m sure, right?

To be clear, even if the answer to that was yes and you eat nothing but β€˜health food’ it wouldn’t give you the right to sneer at what other people eat and drink.

[–] python@lemmy.world 100 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

nah they're right, I eat like shit

Hats off to those who recognize their own bad habits.

Although really, in terms of bad habits, this is relatively minor.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 25 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Although, it is also bad for beer.

[–] python@lemmy.world 25 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Now that's an argument!! Gotta get a little trolley for my beer trips

[–] ExhaleSmile@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

Or switch to whiskey

Still doesn’t give anyone a reason to be an ass about it. Nobody has a perfect diet and habits without having an eating disorder.

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.

[–] python@lemmy.world 44 points 11 hours ago

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

[–] original_reader@lemmy.zip 20 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

On the pro side, if done well, they outlast every tar road by centuries.

[–] Battle_Masker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 11 hours ago (4 children)

I don't live in Europe, but I've heard horror stories about how slippery those streets get in the rain

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 8 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] python@lemmy.world 11 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Also a bitch to walk on in high heels, no matter the weather!

Can confirm, having worked food delivery in the Netherlands.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 hours ago

There's a really good reason they're only used on low speed streets and squares, and now large roads.

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.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 35 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

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!

[–] dabster291@lemmy.zip 23 points 6 hours ago

somebody crusha ma baguette 🐭😑

[–] percent@infosec.pub 10 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

American here. I have seen plenty of roadkill in my lifetime, but none of it was ever a baguette.

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 5 points 3 hours ago

In my experience the roadkill is way more likely to be the cyclist. You really can't ride a bike where I live.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 31 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

It seems the solution to all your problems are:

  • Big trucks
  • Suburban sprawl
  • Privatized healthcare
  • Rabid anti-communism
  • Christian-fascist leaders

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 14 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

This is why you need aomwthing with tank treads. Like a tank for example

[–] python@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

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!

Cool them down and let settle before opening. Should help.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

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 plastic straws for drinking 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)

[–] qevlarr@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Carry metal straws. They're awesome

[–] sqgl@sh.itjust.works 4 points 55 minutes ago

I raw dog my drinks.

[–] cholesterol@lemmy.world 13 points 10 hours ago

If that's the worst part you're having a goddamn amazing time.

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 11 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

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?

[–] python@lemmy.world 9 points 48 minutes ago

Where's your croissant?

In my MOUF

What kind of bike is that?

That's a lot of sugary drink πŸ˜‚

[–] python@lemmy.world 19 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

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

Technically no sugar, it's the 'zero' variant.

[–] python@lemmy.world 11 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

It's Zero caffeine too! Which makes it the 'zero zero' variant, I think

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.

[–] PotatoLibre@feddit.it 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Now I'm gonna tell you a "secret".

We European drinks mainly water from the tap, when we don't drink beer or wine od course.

(except many Italians mi, they're stupid and buy water in plastic bottles).

[–] frog@feddit.uk 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

In Barcelona, I was told their tap water was trash so I had to buy bottled water. The hotel I was staying at said the samething and they were giving me bottles for free.

Or just wait a few minutes before opening them

[–] martijndevrieze@europe.pub 4 points 10 hours ago

Seems like the worst part is not too bad, all things considered. All you need is half an hour patience with the fizzy drinks ;) Have to say, hate cycling on the cobbles, but love the look of them in the cities! Also, cobbles generally force cars to slow down indeed.
