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

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

You don't have that? Where are you?

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.

water man

You can use the term "Aqua Man" to sound fancier.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Nah, that's different. Water man is the grown up version of the water boy.

And the water always tastes like shit out of these because they don't clean the tip. On the old style it was always sharing lemonade or Powerade and you could just run the line for a second or two to clear it

...do I want to search up what a cloaca is?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The Wikipedia article describes the biological act of a "cloaca kiss," which may or may not be exactly what it sounds like depending on an individual's imagination.

[–] moakley@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

What the hell!?

I clicked the comments just to share my fun "cloacal kiss" fact!

Ugh. I'm going back to reddit.

Why are you making me look this up?

Damn you sir or madam.

I feel like the context of "the opposite of 1 hole per beverage" gives a good vague explanation. Another is "how I pictured women's anatomy before I took a health class."

Even if you know what it is, it may surprise you that more that one species can breathe out of it.

Legendary exchange

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

It's one of those words where whatever you first think of when hearing it, is probably fairly close to the real thing

Cloaca-cola, as envisioned by Pininfarina!

[–] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Fun fact: the Coca Cola Freestyle machine is designed by the Pininfarina company, of the same Pininfarina legacy of classic Italian car design fame.

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I love those machines. Diet cherry decaf vanilla etc etc etc....

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

You can find some unusual things on there!

[–] Squorlple@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (8 children)

Counter argument: Vanilla Coke

[–] Makeitstop@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Also being able to get anything in diet instead of just one or two things.
