Is she salting the sidewalk in front of her before every step?

Also the bag has what appears to be german written on it. She reminds me of my coworker who used the last of the anti icing salt that we had to throw miniscule amounts across almost the entire 3 acre yard, instead of just dumping a bunch of it at the doors and walkups where people are actually going to be walking. It did absolutely nothing, since one corn of salt per square meter isn't useful.

If you can think of a better way to make sure you don't step on a ghost I'd like to hear it

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:I think it's called sludge video. Like the ones where some AI is rattling off a story or something while there's someone's playing a video game on screen or something completely unrelated. Tiktok is basically just an attention span killer app. It's called sludge video. It started in New Venice and is now spreading through the suburbs. The kids record themselves playing video games for the internet, and they put an audio track on top with an AI rattling off a story or something, but none of it is real. Completely unrelated. The computer game is not even real. Next thing they know they wake up naked in long beach covered in margarine having followed a tiktok life hack channel.

I can't even listen to those wresters panting without feeling just bad in the chest. Like, a visceral reaction, but with my lungs.

That's some German nonsense until proven otherwise. Probably homeopathic deicer.

So she's just following science Saline has a significantly lower freezing point than plain water, and some other salts (calcium chloride and potassium chlorine are the ones I know off the top of my head) lower water's freezing point even more. There are places where it's fairly common to throw down some rock salt on the sidewalk after you shovel to prevent ice from forming as snow melts and then refreezes. edit that said it takes a couple minutes for it to do anything and a sprinkle of table salt isn't enough to be effective anyway

If you put some salt on your skin, and then press an ice cube against the salt, you can actually hurt yourself. Apparently, this is now a youtube challenge, though I always take these kinds of news stories about Youtube/TikTok challenges with a grain of frostbite enabling salt.

FreudianSlippers posted:Is salt and/or sand on all sidewalks and roads in freezing weather not standard operating procedure everywhere? The US has incredibly cheap, accessable salt, which affects how people think about deicing. Salted gravel is popular here in Scandinavia, but it's nowhere near as much salt as I grew up with in the US.

FreudianSlippers posted:Is salt and/or sand on all sidewalks and roads in freezing weather not standard operating procedure everywhere? Where I live the city won't put down salt unless it's a very extreme ice storm, due to the runoff of the melt being bad for the local environment. Usually it's some liquid deicer that I don't know what it is, or gravel. Businesses and people can still use rock salt however and most do.

I've heard the same, but with laundry detergent and a claw hammer. Don't put this on your skin people, you'll hurt yourself! Don't do it!

My friends and I used to do this as teens (~25 years ago) as part of Dare, Double Dare, Torture. Oh, don't want to confess about the guy you're crushing on? You're getting an ice hickie.
