We used to start morning meetings with an icebreaker question at my old job. A friend had just watched “You’re the Worst” and was inspired to say, “raise your hand if you don’t wash your legs in the shower.”

About half of us raised our hands. The non-washers insisted that gravity caused the soap to wash your legs and feet. We leg washers were not convinced, and a little grossed out, but we were all really surprised to learn the other side of the argument.

"Used to start meetings with icebreakers"

Did they stop after the leg washing question or was it something even more controversial?

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago

Usually they were pretty innocuous. Smooth or crunchy peanut butter, is a hot dog a sandwich, is cheesecake a pie, Marvel or DC, Star Wars or Star Trek, The Stones or The Beatles, etc.

I don't understand, pigs in blankets are wrapped in bacon, they should be a type of salad. Why would you use pastry?

[-] Kernal64@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago

Everything is everything.

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Who says cheesecake isn't a pie? It sure as hell isn't cake.

[-] tyler@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago

Yeah, cheesecake is cake in exactly the same way that ice cream cake is cake, in that it isn’t at all even slightly close to being cake.

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Real ice cream cake actually has at least one layer of cake in it. Not the stupid ice cream cakes that's just ice cream shaped like a cake. That's just an imposter.

[-] tyler@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

The only ice cream cake I’ve ever seen (and I’ve seen a lot, my in-laws love the stuff) has a layer of cookie crumbles inside. I’ve never seen a single one that has any sort of cake in it whatsoever. I also did a google before posting my comment and not a single recipe I found had cake in it either. So I’m very sorry, but no, ice cream cake does not (typically) have cake in it.

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

It is atypical at this point. But that doesn't make it any less real, or what I believe an ice cream cake should be.

They’re a thing, people generally just don’t make them anymore because it’s super fussy.

[-] Soggy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It's not that fussy, you just need the freezer space and a plan. Slightly softened ice cream is easy to layer on and picking the right frosting keeps it from cracking. (I used a sweet marscapone) Totally worth it, btw.

[-] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

I am a simple man, anything more than “mix and dump in the pan and then throw it in the oven” is fussy to me

[-] Soggy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Congratulations on barely functioning as an adult, I guess.

[-] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks, it’s the autism.

[-] Soup@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I dunno I think I’ve had cheesecake in a crust only once before but I’ve seen it in cakes a lot. Saying it’s a pie sounds outlandish to me.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

It sure as hell isn't pie either.

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It's not, but if I've got to pick one...

Which I now realize I didn't have to.

[-] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago

The only way to solve this is to eat the cheesecake.

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I voted pie too. It’s basically custard in a pie tin or crust. The other side was either hung up on the name, or determined eggs were the defining ingredient rather than flour.

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

At this point smooth or crunchy peanut butter is so much of a cliché it actively bores me.

[-] Randelung@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

"Should Nazis be allowed to run the government?" - surprisingly controversial recently, and a definitive end to the meeting, if not the whole practice.

might wanna see a doctor about that

Some people may enjoy getting head from communist Pac-Man.

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 17 points 2 years ago

Up here, in Wyoming, it gets so cold and dry that if you don't scrub the dead skin off your legs regularly, your skin will crack. It can get very painful.

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Maybe try living in a place that doesn't require regular skin sacrifices?

[-] tyler@programming.dev 10 points 2 years ago

That has nothing to do with dry skin on your legs.

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 6 points 2 years ago

I'm just wearing pants all day, how dirty can my leg possibly get?

[-] Crazyslinkz@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Showering is to remove dead skin cells, as well.

[-] TotalFat@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

I prefer to let them rest where they fell in battle as a warning to any who would oppose my rule!

[-] jumperalex@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Counter Point: the [ziti|grape|M&M etc] that tries to flee from the bowl gets eaten FIRST; RESISTANCE IS FUTILE

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

How rough of a scrubbing action does the skin want?

…OK apparently not much, thought I might see washcloths recommended and so on

[-] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

From experience walking in long pants during June in Fort Lauderdale, legs can get bad. Sweat couldn’t evaporate, so the root of every hair on my legs got red, bumpy, and irritated. But I was working a job and had to dress according to their work code. I quit after less than a week. 0/0 do not recommend.

[-] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I find that the shower is the most convenient place to wash my legs.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago

Followed very unclosely by the bidet.

[-] Zementid@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

It's ether wash or scrub, but for the entire body. What psycho scrubs the torso but not the legs or who washes the torso and scrubs the legs? You people are both weird.

[-] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

I scrub my legs about 50 percent of the time. Doesn't feel like they get as dirty as upper half. I do scrub my feet though.
