I just spent 20 minutes reading comments on IG about the famous coffee burn case.
And even after years of education, Burgers still don't know that coffee is hot.
I just don't get the argument. 100° coffee is just that.
@tomie
I saw the injury, I get, that it was a really bad case.
But hot coffee means 100 degrees. The scale of burn is outside of temperature also affected by the amount of liquid etc. But accidents do happen, and hot coffee is a thing you might want to order.
There is nothing like super-hot water. It is either 100°c or its a stream. (ok, the range of saved energy in water at 100 is quite wide, but the point is, that hot water and skin is just a bad combo). And when I ordered a hot tea 4 days ago, I was happy it was at 100. I wanted something to hold in my hands in the winter.
So, I seriously don't see the difference between hot coffee burning you when mishandled and a hot stove burning you when mishandled. Neither the fault of corporation.
@LukeAlmighty @tomie it's just the severity of it rather than what it actually is.
Regular coffee isn't normally as hot as what McDonald's was serving and it caused more unnecessary pain when an accident happened because normally it would cause a first or second degree burn but because they were serving it abnormally hotter than what the general population does it caused a necessary pain.
Plus everyone just hates these megacorporation especially how they ran a smear campaign against her.
@Mr_NutterButter @tomie
So.... 100°c ?
A boiling cup of coffee?
@LukeAlmighty @Mr_NutterButter no coffee is supposed to be 100°
@tomie @Mr_NutterButter
That is something I strongly disagree with.
There is nothing BETTER then a hot cup of a coffee in the morning.
@LukeAlmighty @Mr_NutterButter exactly, a HOT cup of coffee, not BOILING liquid which is unable to hold its state of matter together
anything above 65° for coffee is a travesty
@tomie @Mr_NutterButter
Btw, did you ever have a liquid nitrogen poured on your hand?
I did.
@LukeAlmighty Really, people are still on about that? I guess I shouldn't be surprised. This and the gay cake thing are gonna be things people will forever debate because they're just that dumb.
Coffee IS supposed to be too hot to drink when you get a fresh cup, and wedding cakes are an art form, hence free speech prevails. No gay wedding cake if I don't want to make it.
@monsterislandcolonizer
Well, it's coffee.
How many Muricans are on fediverse?
@monsterislandcolonizer
You cannot serve coffee above 100°, because you would get a cup of steam with some bean dust at the bottom.
@LukeAlmighty coffee spill burns are supposed to be first degree, second at worst; and the lady got a third degree burn, so this is not burgers being burgers, it's a corporation hiding its faults behind a smear campaign of an old lady who did nothing wrong
