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.
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.
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).
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.
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.

It seems to me that people here are getting really upset by the idea that buying a sugary treat commercial product is trashy. Growing up I had no choices other than trash. Now I’m going to call out trashy behavior when I see it. Eating junk food is trashy.
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:
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.
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.
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.
First, forget about using steel belted tires. Just don’t try it. They are HARD to cut no matter how you do it and it is dangerous with tiny bits of steel flying around your face and eyes. Not to mention that eventually you will get a sliver of steel in your finger or foot. If you have ever gotten steel in your finger, you know how aggravating that is.
There are plenty of nylon belted tires you can use. The most common source is the little donut spare tires in newer cars. These are the ones marked ‘Temporary Use Only and Don’t drive over 45 miles per hour.’ The reason being, they are not steel belted. You can get these at the junkyard or just steal one out of your neighbor’s car when they are unloading groceries.

“You use a machine to make your own ice cream? A hand crank doesn’t use electricity and produces a superior product.”

Your recommendation is to make your own ice cream?! Lmao
Yes, it’s not hard.
That’s a fine suggestion in a cooking forum, and completely asinine to a general audience.
