It probably feels a lot more like this

I'm jealous

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

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

You mean cut and dead?
GooberEar@lemmy.wtf 2 weeks ago
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.

Oh sure. They’ve spend millions of years sedimenting to form or metamorphasizing in the warm molten bosom of Mother Earth, just so you can selfishly stuff your gob with their crunchy goodness. I hope you are happy with yourself.

Scientists have determined that rocks have souls. This revelation came on the heels of the discovery last month that souls definitely exist.
The only ethical move is to starve.

Awesome! I’ma start a death metal band and put celery and brussel sprouts on the album covers.
- Track 1: "I will Eat your Artichoke!"
- Track 2: "Your Chopped Broccoli Falling on the Floor"
- Track 3: "Sliced Cucumber"
- etc

There is a religion called Jainism that actually tries to avoid harming even tiny insects 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@feddit.org 2 weeks 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.

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.

I’ve been on some patios in the summer that actually do this. It does feel very good.
M137@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
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 2 weeks ago

Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 2 weeks 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.
mechoman444@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago

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

The equivalent for a person would be decapitated heads in the shower.
mapmyhike@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
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.

Seems like a complete flip to what we have here in the UK, Aldi is by far cheaper than any farmers market I have seen.
MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
There’s a big difference between a farm stand and a farmers market.
ayyy@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
In the US a “farmers market” typically means that a city or town shuts down a few streets and farmers come from their rural farms to the city center to sell their produce. The prices can trend high, because the focus tends to be on quality and known provenence.
What the parent poster is describing is not farmers markets, but farm stands. You have to go to them instead of them coming to you, which is where the savings come from. It might not be worth it depending on the value of your time.
Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Same here, and those Aldi cucumbers are like 1,50€ or a little more.
Papaslair@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
We have a huge Farmers Market open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Its about 10 minutes from my home. Really good deals on fruits, vegetable & baked goods. The deals are even better if you show up about an hour before closing. In today’s economy you have to watch every penny spent.
Papaslair@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
And later in the summer you can find pick up trucks parked at the side of the road offering sweet corn for far less than you would ever be able to get at a grocery store

On a horribly hot summer day in Australia, I’ve been known to hang out in the vege section of the supermarket for the misters before heading off to buy deeply unhealthy things that taste better

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.

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.
WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 2 weeks ago
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.

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.
