Depends on the state, apparently. There’s no codified federal definition for what constitutes a “milkshake”. As opposed to something like ice cream which is very much codified at a federal level.
I posted a link further down, but apparently national chains do this is to avoid dealing with state regulations. “Its not a milkshake, its a Blizzard!”
The definition has changed throughout the years, hopefully we can all at least agree on that. Some early “shakes” had no milk whatsoever! I didn’t know this either, but apparently the US has no legal definition of what constitutes a milkshake, leaving it up to the individual states to decide.
I also found this little snippet particularly interesting for this conversation:
As an ice cream drink, the 20th-century milkshake’s only serious contenders have been its legions of imitators. United States federal code defines ice cream down to the amount of air it may contain, but is silent on milkshakes, leaving their parameters to states. For restaurants with regional or national reach, the simplest way to sidestep dozens of states’ conflicting milkshake definitions within their territories is not to sell milkshakes. Many, instead, offer “shakes” or milkshake-adjacent frozen dessert drinks with branded names that suggest creamy coldness, but avoid the legal entanglements of calling them “milkshakes.”
This is why you end up with Blizzards and Frosties apparently!
Might have some milk, but when I went overseas a milk shake was literally milk with crushed ice blended intop a drink.
Blended ice cream is a milkshake in the USA. I didn’t know it was weird until I ordered a milkshake in Australia.
Fair enough.
I’m sorry, I thought you were joking. I wasn’t making fun of him at all, merely adding some support to what protist was saying - there’s a difference between saying someone is narcissistic (exhibiting narcissitic personality traits) and saying someone has NPD, or “grandiose narcissism”. I think a small amount of narcissism is probably necessary for maintaining things like self-esteem. Greek mythology is full of some really messed up stories, I think we can both agree on that at least.
Ovid! That’s the name I couldn’t remember. I looked it up and ‘Echo and Narcissus’ is definitely the version I remember reading in school.
Why use 1 hammer with 50 hammers will do the job even better!
If I had a life I wouldn’t be posting about Greek mythology on Lemmy would I!
Thanks for adding that detail, makes sense. I was thinking the link previews were yeah more like the google results. Hover over and not have to go to the site.
That’s a good question. I’d personally argue that it’s different in that the adblockers are not an inbuilt part of Firefox, they’re made by extension developers. This is built right into the browser.
This isn’t my wheelhouse so take it with a grain of salt, but an argument against link summarizers that I’ve heard is that it takes views away from websites that could be generating revenue for themselves. Instead an LLM scraped their content and fed a summary directly to the user.
There are a bunch of flags in about:config you can check as well, if you wanna be extra sure they’re turned off. Just search for browser.ml. There are more but this was all I could capture in one screenshot. Bold means I had to change it, which means it was on by default. That said I’m using CachyOS repos, not the direct Arch ones.
I would pay good money for a mod that has Jayne as a crewmember, and any time you ask him to do anything he just walks away murmuring “I’ll be in my bunk”.
I broke my joystick dogfighting in that game in VR lol. A little TOO immersive!
NMS did such a better job of looking like a movie poster than Starfield could ever have hoped to.
🤔
Could you elaborate on this please? The only thing I remember about Narcissus is that, when he was born, a seer or something made a prophecy that he would live forever so long as he never knew himself. He had a bunch of suitors, all of whom he spurned, until one day he saw his own reflection in a lake. Being unable to obtain the only thing he has ever loved (himself), he sat by the lake staring until he died.
Right, at it’s most basic level wouldn’t it just be saying that someone or something is similar to Narcissus?
edit to support your point:
This is my favorite response in the entire thread so far.
