      In April 2019, a Twitter post by Pyle from 2017 resurfaced regarding the pro-life rally March For Life. According to some reporters, Pyle’s tweet expressed support for, or defended, March For Life. The tweet caused many fans to turn against Strange Planet and its creator, in a controversy described by at least one outlet as an example of the Milkshake Duck phenomenon.

      Pyle released a statement shortly afterwards which did not mention abortion, but said that he and his wife “have private beliefs as they pertain to our Christian faith. We believe separation of church and state is crucial to our nation flourishing.” He also stated they voted for the Democratic Party, and were “troubled by what the Republican Party has become and [did] not want to be associated with it.”

        Seems reasonable enough. Dude’s allowed to have opinions I think are bad, and seems to get over his bad opinions in the face of much worse opinions, inasmuch as a direct statement from the person in question can show that.

      Yeah I thought I was losing my mind for a bit but a lot of people forgot after the first little kerfuffle about it.

    I see ice-cream this tall and think:
    YOU ARE DOOMED BY YOUR HUBRIS.
    DO NOT DELAY FOR SMILES OR RECORD KEEPING.
    EAT YOUR TASTY TREAT CAREFULLY BEFORE GRAVITY MAKES A FOOL OF YOU.

    There is an ice cream chain in Quebec called ‘les chocolats favoris’ who make a cone that is in line with this.

    There’s a soft serve place near me that gives you huge servings. They’re not quite as big as in the picture, but if you get a large, you have to be very careful about it toppling over.

    This is why you get a half kid size for your toddler.

    Watching that much soft serve go into a 2yo, with the resulting crazyness 5minutes later is not cool.

        Oh I understand the 2yo wants the big cone…I don’t want a 3ft psychopath, and I have the money!

    Hmmm, if this were in proportion to body volume then it may lead to an infinite cycle of the ice cream getting larger -> the body getting larger -> the icecream getting larger -> etc. Depending on the frequency of course.

  • Costco for a while sold large ice cream bars from their cantina. While not proportionately larger they did help with the disappointment I felt going to DQ decades later to notice the cone was much smaller than the last time.
