If you are drinking any of those drinks you deserve to drink from the cloaca. Just drink water, it won't hurt you.

Oh boy, someone with a differing opinion on food/beverage that I can shame for liking things other than water

I've never seen either of these machines irl.

You’ve never seen a pop fountain? They’ve got them in all kinds of restaurants and movie theaters. Do you not go out much?

I go to the movies once a week, but it's more of an arthouse place, where you're not bombarded at the entrance with sugary snacks and drinks. To give you an idea: I've never seen anyone eat popcorn there. I do go to restaurants but never to the likes of McDonalds and such, I imagine they would have these things? Perhaps they're also not that common in Europe?

This is why I always let the first second or so spray into the splash tray.

On the plus side, you can often position your cup in the often un-mixed stream to get more syrup.

you can use pressurised air to clean the duct. Some verterbrates like to call it farts

This hurts as someone who fixes both.

That's just plain science!

I also remember when gas pumps had a separate hose and nozzle for each grade of gas.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago

Wonder if they stopped having to do that when they removed lead

[–] frezik@midwest.social 1 points 1 month ago

Usually depends on the place around here. Some do, some don't.

In theory, separate hoses mean low octane and high octane don't mix (mid grade is already a mix of the two). In practice, it really doesn't matter. Except for diesel; don't want to mix that with anything else.

[–] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

You don't have that? Where are you?

[–] mercano@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Most modern pumps in the US have one hose and buttons to select the grade. You’ll get a bit of the previous customer’s selection from what was left over in the line, but it’s not a huge difference if you’re getting 10 gallons. It can be a bigger deal for something with a small tank, like a motorcycle.

Diesel still gets its own hose, as putting diesel into a gas car or vice versa can be very bad.

[–] Qwazpoi@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

I have selected premium several times and then the tank stopped filling 30¢ early and my receipt said regular despite selecting premium when filling up my moped. I think the machines try to account for the gas type difference sometimes or maybe the pumps I was using were a bit dodgy.
