homie did nothing wrong
he did that container clearly says its for shoes, if it was labeled soda it would be ok
Meanwhile 711 Australia:
Basically this but real
“Shoes” - Yum!
It’s too throw off any would-be soda bandits
This soda tastes like shoes
I mean, I appreciate the gumption but, honestly? This mentality is probably why Americans can’t have decent public services.
Yeah I feel we have too adversarial of a mindset. Or maybe “too independent” like so independent that we don’t even consider how we are all connected and only have a society because we work together.
It leads to people saying really silly phrases line “self made millionaire” which ignores all the people that gave that person money.
Like money is inherently social. You can’t do anything with it on your own.
This is not real. This is from a satire page.
the mindset of Americans, as a fellow American, is “fuck you, got mine”.
until we unlearn this behavior, we will continue to cannibalize each other. not sure how many generations thats going to take, but I hope it happens in my lifetime
Things in favor of Peyton here:
- Corporations in general
- There is no rule against it
- 7-11 has a pretty regular event where “fill a silly cup, feel free to be absurd” is a thing, so there is precedent
- That amount of soda is still probably profitable for the company, fountain soda is incredibly cheap
- This isn’t regular consumption and clearly not a regular occurrence, if beverages were regularly freely available, it wouldn’t be exciting to do this and this type of behavior would go away – you have to hoard service when public service is an artificially limited quantity.
- This didn’t deprive any other customer of soda – the only downside here is a corporation losing a few cents of profit.
Things against Peyton:
- Hoarding is a bad mentality to be in (agreed with you here)
- It will take days to drink that much soda, and it will be flat and nasty
When poor people get a windfall of money, they tend to spend it all. It’s why lottery winners tend to wind up broke. Because historically, money is a “use it or lose it” for those people. If you’ve been trained your whole life to adapt to things, it can be hard to do the right thing when those things no longer hold true.
Americans cant have decent public services because they abuse them… results in Americans desperate for public services… which results in Americans taking extra advantage of any public service that is available… which results in a mindset that Americans abuse public services… which results in less funding… Its a vicious cycle.
Some people prefer flat soda, my son among them. I still feel like he’s just being contrarian/messing with me, but he still insists he’s sincere.
I still like flattish soda, but as a kid I preferred totally flat soda because the prickling hurt more.
Your son is a smart son. Interestingly, myself and several other family members prefer flat sodas. It’s too bad yours doesn’t seem to be inherited.
Yeah we Americans are a condemnable lot but I don’t think “kid exploits loophole to buy comical amount of soda” is really an example of that, he’s just a kid doing a bit. If this was a public service the solution would be analogous to saying “you have to be able to hold the container in one hand” or something. There’s always going to be people pushing the rules but they’re usually the exception not the rule.
If this were an actual public service, the solution would be to make sure people’s needs were met so they didn’t feel obligated to take comical amounts of soda.
We’ll know the goal has been achieved when all comedic acts have ceased.
This mentality is probably why Americans can’t have decent public services.
What mentality? You mean falling for obviously fake bullshit that only idiots would believe? Yea, I’d agree that’s the root of many of society’s problems…
I am blown away every day by what people around here will believe if it fits their worldview.
“LOL! Conservatives so dumb they’ll believe anything!”
Here, watch me catch mad upvotes. They can’t help it, it’s a Pavlovian thing.
Billionaires, landlords, AI, Capitalism BAD!
“Knoxville fucking tennessei”
Is this actually rage bait? Dog this even happen? Who held that massive tub in place for the duration of the filling?
It is not Peyton’s problem that they have an exploit. Should’ve thought about it upon planning the event.
this is why
MAX_FILL_AMTis necessaryMaybe at compile time they replaced the constant and they v0.9-pre for debugging purposes but somehow made it onto production machines.

“Guys, nothing bad will happen if we push to prod on Friday…”
That’s the child size beverage, in that it is the size of a child.
Why is the place even open on labor day?
Office workers are off so service industry jobs are fully staffed. I’ve never seen a gas station closed for labor day.
let alone Christmas, gas stations only close in the event of large scale riots in my experience. I’ve been forced to work overnight in a blizzard that dropped three feet of snow. I had one customer all night, he was a plow driver coming in for a few energy drinks.
And you are a hero to that plow driver. And others like you are heroes to the people that also had to be out on terrible weather days and holidays.
I assume a gas station could run without anyone present, leaving the convenience store part closed, but having someone on-hand to hit an e-stop if needed is pretty important.
My goal is not to devalue your work, but rather to support it. “Essential workers” are called that for a reason. We should work to ensure that they are paid their worth. Just because it’s not necessarily a “skilled” job doesn’t mean it’s not important. The bro running the local hedge fund is providing way less actual value than anyone in a service job.
event ain’t gonna happen by itself
Almost every one of you bought this. Jesus fucking Christ, some y’all have the media savvy of a FaceBook grandma.
Few adults would be strong enough to hold that tub for the several minutes it takes to fill, and this kid certainly couldn’t.
And no one noticed this going on for those several minutes? No one said a word?!
The orange is clearly shopped into the original image. Unless orange soda is fuzzy around the edges? Perhaps it’s boiling? 🎵 Orange haze all in my brain, lately things just don’t seem the same 🎶
Peyton used the length of hose he normally uses to steal gas for his three-wheeler ATV as an extension to fill the tub on the ground.
Peyton reads well below grade level but he is not stupid.
Im from a pretty conservative small Florida town, I REALLY want a slutty shirt like that with my towns name and just walk around in it.
or better yet I could get my gay dad to wear my platforms and skirt and slay the town down
Leisure Suit Larry would just put that in his pocket.
this kids going places
Going to get diabetes, that’s where he’s going
