There are two kinds of janky roadside motels... one is the one you'd encounter with mold and syringes and dried cum, on nearly any roadside today, and I hope you remembered the plastic bag for the remote. The other is the Howard Johnson your family stayed at in 1987 somewhere in Wisconsin, where indeed to this day, the A/C still comes out at -10* F and smells like cigarette-tinged adventure. Later you'll watch the Dark Crystal on the in-room HBO and be terrified for weeks.

The cum catchers they call bedspreads that crackle when you peel them back.

i didn't know canadians used Fahrenheit outside of pools.

Is mcdonald's sprite oddly awesome?

[–] TheFunkyMonk@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

I was going to say, there’s not much better than cranking that giant A/C when I arrive and coming back later to a walk-in fridge to sleep in.

McDonald's Coke is! So I really don't understand what this post is saying. The title is obvious, but the actual post? Not so much.

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sprite is owned by coca cola. All coke products are "better" from McDonald's.

[–] Quibblekrust@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why did you use scare quotes?

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Because it's not really "better" as in higher quality or anything, they just use more syrup IIRC, and maybe not everyone is a fan of it.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My guess (from personal experience): soda from a dispenser mixes the carbonated water with the syrup when it’s being dispensed.

Unlike Coke, Fanta, and other unnaturally colored drinks, Sprite is clear. If the syrup runs out mid-dispensing, you won’t know it until you sit down and drink it.

And it is one of the most wretched tasting abominations you’ll ever encounter in this god-forsaken world. It’s the stuff of nightmares.

No that would be the IKEA sodas. They don't have their normal stuff they just have their weird homemade stuff

[–] lyrial@anarchist.nexus 3 points 1 week ago

They do have a crazy water filtration system, but other than that nothing is actually special about it. McDonald's straws have a much wider internal diameter than most, which makes the carbonation particularly potent. If you don't use a straw, you can't tell a difference, because there isn't one.

It’s crisp AF much like the drugs OP is smoking if they think those shitty hotel ACs are peak.

You just ain’t never been too a good shitty hotel

[–] Flamangoman@leminal.space 10 points 1 week ago

There's a lot decode in this sentence lol

[–] deacon@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

This might be artfully crafted ragebait.

[–] Syndication@lemmy.today 5 points 1 week ago

Depends on the hotel sadly. I remember a few hotels where I'd crank it down to 60° and it wouldn't even get cold enough. Other ones are the exact opposite, and are an ice cold heaven :)

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Most hotel ACs have overrides that prevent you from actually cooling the room.

Luckily most of them are only protected with security by obscurity and it's easy to change the setting if you know how.

I've never stayed in a hotel where I couldn't get this to work.

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

The rattle, the hiss of ice cold air, the mould, the dead pigeon inside of it.

The hotel A/C is pretty nice too.

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

Having traveled for work regularly I learned to always check the filters. These are often skipped by cleaning staff.

Clean filters improved the air quality and increased AC performance

Totally depends on if hotel is "a space to sleep" or "a relaxation destination"
