What is a whipped cream charger?

[–] LORDSMEGMA@sh.itjust.works 112 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Cartridges of nitrous oxide. Commonly referred to as 'whippets'

[–] kungen@feddit.nu 19 points 1 week ago (2 children)

And somewhat more charming, some would argue.

[–] LordCrom@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

i could fully undrstand 5k for such a handsome and good puppy

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ever seen a pile of discarded small silver canisters? That would be them.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

I thought it was tiny scuba divers

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 52 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I wouldn't call myself frugal by any means, I generally support people spending their money on nice things that they find value in so long as they're not living beyond their means.

That being said, IMHO dropping $5k on a ring makes you a god damn idiot.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There are definitely pieces of jewelry that are worth that price tag.

That said, if you would like to by a crushed moissanite and tin love bracelet for that special someone, you should do it. A romantic dinner of two foodlike beef and cheddar max sandwiches, and a night of peaky blinders is a fine way to bond.

I would say if you're spending more than like 15k you're crazy, but 5k is not insane money.

[–] cabb@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 week ago

The line of insane money depends on income and priorities really.

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It's supposed to be 3x pay checks right?

I live paycheck to paycheck so someone better do the proposing to me

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 36 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The idea that you're "supposed" to spend $X on a ring is absurd. Are you getting engaged to show off your wealth or to commit to a relationship? What does spending excessive amounts of money on a trinket have anything to do with the latter?

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That advice was likely a holdover from the time when wedding rings were essentially insurance for the wife if her husband died suddenly - sell the ring and be able to live for a while on that money while you search for a new husband.

Now that women are, y'know, allowed to work for a living rather than being forced into homemakers, it makes a lot less sense for the wedding band to be outside of one's means to purchase.

I just tell people to buy what looks nice to them and is in budget. My wife has a gold band with some inscribed decorations, and I have a band of silver and inlayed meteorite. They were both under $1000. No need for flawless diamonds, rare stones or precious metals. We're happy.

It's from a debeers ad

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Oh that actually makes a lot of sense!

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I think society cares more about the cost of the ring than my partner and me. Outside of joking, I'd spend a lot on a ring for my lover. I mean we both owe the mortgage after we marry right? It all evens out eventually.

[–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

If you were to adhere to that dumb rule, it’s based on income, not income minus expenses.

The receipt total $4599.02 doesn't add up if they only got Whipped cream chargers 24ct for $19.99 they could get 230 boxes and then buy something else for $1.32

[–] FilthyHands@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 week ago

Bag of balloons.

[–] thecaptaintrout@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 week ago

AI slop maybe?

[–] aeiou@piefed.social 31 points 1 week ago (1 children)

‘At least he died doing what he loved: a bunch of whip-its’

[–] No_Eponym@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

"At least he died doing what he loved..."

Which was not his girlfriend, who, coincidentally, he explicitly chose not to make his fiancée, and who he also sent a clear message to via buying one engagement ring's worth of whip-its on the way out.

[–] RagnarokOnline@programming.dev 20 points 1 week ago

Your brain would be mush at the end of half of that. That’s for a party fsfs

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What in the fuck do you need ~5,520 whippets for?

Precursors for some concoction I'm not enough of a 'chemist' to understand?

Stocking up for P Diddy's next party?

[–] Ach@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

To inhale the nitrous and get high. Call them doing whip-its here.

[–] Sv443@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

230 whippets and a $1.32 pack of gum

[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago
[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Hippy Cracktacular.

[–] basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why 24 cents for 19.99 dollars?

[–] monotremata@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago

I think "ct" on this receipt is short for "count" rather than "cent."
