@kev The fact that you had to explain what an ice cream truck/van is/was makes me sad.Though, as a parent, I now fear them

@nathand I wasn’t sure if it’s purely a UK thing, so thought it best to explain.

@kev Seriously dude, you go through all the trouble of telling us what an Ice Cream truck is, but never bothered to even describe what the hell a 99 Flake is??

@mikeWe have Ice Cream Trucks in USia too. We do stupid shit for ice cream too.😃I met a girl from Israel who drove an ice cream truck in Austin. I was madly in love and going to move to Israel with her and live on a kibbutz. It wasn't meant to be for geopolitical reasons.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=u1Ltt0IcXMc@kev

@kevIn the early nineties my first car was a Chevrolet Sprint, a minicar later rebadged as Geo Metro. Not exactly the same car (in fact not at all), but I somehow feel a little responsible. Sorry man.

@kevI'm very glad for the ice cream van explanation, and more so for the picture. I have great analysis skills so I was able to figure out that it is somehow like an ice cream truck.Who knew.

@kev @nathand There's one that drives by my house daily during the spring and summer here in Lousyana that plays very loud "Hawaiian" music to let the kids know they're here. The person driving usually is so mindfucked by the constant music playing that they often don't notice kids at all until they experience an unexpected speed bump... well maybe not that last part; they are still quite absentminded anyway.

@kev Thanks for a good story and happy you survived to tell us about it. Were I live we use to have people on a bicycle with a cooler of ice cream treats making noise to bring attension to all to come and buy. At least now they are not very common.

@kev In Germany we have those ice vans as well, but they sell proper Italian ice cream, not soft ice. 😊

@kev I thought the moral of the story was: "if you want a free ice cream, don't follow the green cross code"? ;)

@kev Wonderful story (apart from the broken leg, of course, that's not wonderful). And yes, those vans and their shrill jingle are known here in the Netherlands, as well. They usually sell scoops, not soft ice cream.

@krinkle@mastodon.technology @krinkle@polyglot.city I’m somewhat of a weird nerd too. I love learning new works and the nuances between their meaning.I particularly like onomatopoeic words. They’re always fun if you can get them in as they tend to invoke more emotion for me.

@kev Well very true and not likely to run you over as the cyclist would have to be moving quite fast to even make that possible with the amount of weight in front. Something like this https://i.pinimg.com/736x/73/02/e9/7302e9d52ef1d8a830e5aaa473ec827c.jpg
