I don't think you need to be a vegetable to enjoy a nice mist.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

It does feel good.

Source: I am a vegetable.

[–] Tudsamfa@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Contrary to what you may believe, you don't have to envy these vegetables and can indeed take a shower yourself.

[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago

Thats a misting not a shower tho. Also those veggies aint paying for that water.

[–] tauren@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah but I’ll never feel as good as those vegetables.

The equivalent for a person would be decapitated heads in the shower.

Be the vegetable you want to be

Dead vegetable reproductive organs.

Get your Brassica out for the lads

Getting that brocussy

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Now in damp!

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 110 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (5 children)

It's actually not even good for them. It's entirely for the presentation to the humans that buy them. It makes them spoil quicker and is also just a waste of water.

On the upside: They feel pretty good as a human on a hot day.

[–] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 28 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I never really see them in use anymore.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't either, but I am in California and I don't know if it's because they also learned it makes shit spoil quicker (literally I learned this from working at a grocery store that had them), or if it's a legal thing to conserve water.

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I'm in the Bay Area and we still have them in high and low end grocery stores. At Safeway they even still play the fun little thunder sounds before it starts.

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 18 points 1 day ago (4 children)

They also installed sprinkler system for tourists at some tourist attractions in the very hot summer of 2015. Except they also did this at the Auschwitz camp. It was quite the uproar.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

People were upset they added misters to Auswitz for the museum tourists? It's not like they were spraying them with lethal poison like they used to at that location. Sounds like a moment where it only was weird because people made it weird.

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 3 points 1 day ago

One Jewish visitor said that she had lost many relatives to the Holocaust at Auschwitz and that the water misters looked like the showers are family had had to endure before going to the gas chamber. Many Israeli visitors who have experienced the water misters have criticised them as distasteful.

we had these 20 years ago in my country. but these got removed because they create bacteria and lower shelf life by a lot. nothing good about them at all. just extra cost and work.

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Was wondering why we don't have this in Europe, and the answer is once again, common fucking sense.

[–] Verdorrterpunkt 8 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I've seen them last year in france at some places unfortunately.

It probably feels a lot more like this

A wall lined with morgue refrigerators. One of them is open, showing a human body covered in a cloth

[–] GooberEar@lemmy.wtf 40 points 1 day ago (13 children)

Peppers and cucumbers are the traumatic forced abortions of the plant world. Broccoli and cauliflower are the amputated sex organs of the plants that were cut from their bodies. Celery, brussel sprouts, and artichokes are severed limbs of plants. This is a literal mass grave of dead and dying vegetation, an alter to the horrific mutilation and abuse perpetrated on an entire kingdom of life by humans. A final act of humiliation before we condemn them to the hell of cooking and consumption. I doubt the spray mist provides much comfort.

[–] derry@midwest.social 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

More meat it is then. Save the vegetables!

[–] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 30 points 1 day ago

I'm not vegetarian because I like animals. I'm vegetarian because I hate plants.

[–] drosophila@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

There is a religion called Jainism that actually tries to avoid harming even tiny organisms and plants. As such they avoid eating things like root vegetables that require the entire plant to be killed in order to harvest them.

Interestingly they are not necessarily against drinking milk, as milking an animal is viewed similarly to harvesting a fruit. Though its my understanding that they may still object to industrial milk production.

[–] superkret 1 points 1 day ago

In traditional agriculture, you just feed, house and care for an animal, and when its young stops drinking milk, you keep milking the mother so it doesn't stop making milk.
I can't see any suffering in that.
Industrialized milk production is a complete perversion of that. It's what happens when you take a symbiotic relationship and add Capitalism.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You should hang out by the veggie tray at parties.

[–] GooberEar@lemmy.wtf 3 points 1 day ago

That's how I met my partner. We both love dips. We could talk or not talk about dips all day long and then do it again tomorrow.

Produce was my first job and we used to come in at 5am and clean these occasionally. They get jelly dangly bits hanging from below the veggies that you just spray off and then wash. It was an interesting event.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I haven't seen these for over a decade now, they used to be in most stores but it was pretty obvious it created a lot of issues because of all the "moistness". Good that they got rid of it, at least here in Sweden.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I feel like "the moistness" ought to be a shitty B-movie world-ending blight.

"Grandpa was killed by the moistness; he shouldn't have even been in that valley without his power dryers"

Spritz me harder daddy

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 day ago

As a child I used to be borderline obsessed with the misters and the overall smell and vibe of the produce sections. Always told my mom I wanted to work in one. Thirty years later, purely by circumstance, I manage one for a living. It's not quite what I dreamed of, given that stores in 2025 are no longer poorly lit nor smell like mothballs and old air conditioning/refrigerant, but I still enjoy my career.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago

I've been on some patios in the summer that actually do this. It does feel very good.

[–] mapmyhike@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (16 children)

I buy all my fruits and veggies straight from the orchard, farm stands or the Amish. Often the products are dirty, have flaws, uneven shapes and varying states of ripeness. I can pay .90 for a cucumber at the store or, five for a dollar at the stand or, pick my own at the Amish farm for .10 a piece. I haven't shopped in a store since the Covid price hikes. I now eat better, lost weight, cholesterol, sugar and BP all down. I also planted my own berries, plum and apple trees. Cannabis, too. I can wash my own damn fruit. Just say no to corporate greed.

They hate it, one even tried to chase me but luckily I picked up the wooden ramp before I got out of the store.

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It’s quite warm in the north east of the U.K. at the minute, please do this to me.
