I'm so confused, like were there not always street vendors or is it just that it's fruit, do they just hate tajin, seriously wtf does this mean

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 77 points 6 months ago

If I had to guess it's likely some racist brainworms relating fruit street vendors with Latin American countries, unlike the checks notes all other non-ethnic street vendors like hot dogs or halal carts.

[-] Rojo27@hexbear.net 50 points 6 months ago

Probably some transplant pretending to a concerned New Yorker. Fruit stands have always been a thing in NYC and almost always belong to people of color.

Moves to one of the few cultured, decent spots in Amerikkka

"Yo WTF!? Where's the tater tots! I DEMAND A RIGHT TO IGNORANCE!"

Ma'am, if you're wealthy enough to move to NYC and hate its superior culture, please move back to the boonies and let someone who actually wants to flee the boonies have a chance at living there.

What are we supposed to be mad about? Lmao

[-] whatup@hexbear.net 57 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

She should be in favor of this. Literally the only argument against the stalls is that the owners don’t have the right permits, but conservatives fucking hate bureaucracy. What happened to the small business owner love?

[-] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 51 points 6 months ago

I refuse to get a Twitter account but I do want to see the replies so I guess I'll just imagine people racistly agreeing

Nah, she got destroyed in the replies, some of the worst ratios I've ever seen

"I'm sick of commies voting for socialists who allow fruit carts"

Ma'am the current mayor of NYC is a fascist cop.

[-] Parent@hexbear.net 24 points 6 months ago

But he's black so chuds will say he's woke/DEI.

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 18 points 6 months ago

Smh even the fascist cops have gone woke.

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 21 points 6 months ago

There's two types of New York politicians: Republicans and Republicans smart enough to call themselves Democrats.

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 34 points 6 months ago

also, I'm not mad. please don't put in the newspaper that I got mad.

Maybe cw for the r slur, but also lmao Lola is coping so hard here.

[-] axont@hexbear.net 16 points 6 months ago

Conservatives oscillate hard between claiming the things they hate are minor annoyances or the complete end of all civilization

Yeah ok lady you're not afraid of the fruit stalls. Then what, you think it's fine they're doing great replacement by selling apples covered in tajin?

Conservative women are some of the most cringe types out there, real moms for liberty type losers who think George Soros is following them home from seeing the sound of freedom.

Any street food that doesn’t make me either constipated or shit myself is deeply un-Amerikkkan and an attack on our culture alex-oopsie

i've been to one specific minor city in mexico before, and when i saw the street fruit vendors, my only thought was "unlike america, this is actually an urban area for human beings"

[-] Spongebobsquarejuche@hexbear.net 22 points 6 months ago

I miss living a place with the fruit cart (Tajin plz), the ice cream truck, and the elote cart. Random grandmas selling tamales out of a stroller.

Standing right there, turn until you see a pile of trash bags and take a picture of that instead. There's your legitimate gripe with Manhattan.

[-] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 49 points 6 months ago

Finally in 2024, New York seems to have unlocked "garbage cans" on the tech tree. There are hardly any giant piles of trash bags that cover entire swaths of the sidewalk anymore.

[-] Moonworm@hexbear.net 42 points 6 months ago

Folks, the garbage has gone woke.

How is it possible to have this much brainrot?

I remember once walking through a Midwestern city eating a bell pepper like an apple. I got some honest glares from strangers.

[-] DyingOfDeBordom@hexbear.net 32 points 6 months ago

eating a bell pepper like an apple

jesse-wtf

[-] assyrian@hexbear.net 31 points 6 months ago

sorry but they were right

[-] Smeagolicious@hexbear.net 17 points 6 months ago

The midwest has got some serious brainworms, it also seems like bell pepper haters are the majority here

[-] WaterBowlSlime@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 6 months ago

...do you eat bell peppers like apples too??

[-] BlueMagaChud@hexbear.net 15 points 6 months ago

As long as it's a ripe yellow, orange, or red one I'm ok with that, but I abhor the unripe green ones, may as well eat grass

My nephew ate 1 (ONE) fruit and he died five minutes later. Still think "vegan" is cool?

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 35 points 6 months ago

I would love some fruit card around town. I would buy fruit from them and eat those fruit. Fruit is good. It's nature's candy

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 16 points 6 months ago

This.

Take the driedmangopill and you will never need to buy any corn syrup slop again.
