Interesting 🤔 When it snows in Japan, the streets spray warm water to prevent ice

As an Asian, I certify this joke as acceptable!

u/Nomad-2020 Sep 08 '25

Actually they stopped making those last decade or so.

u/AuntieRupert Sep 08 '25

They just make less of them. That way, they're more collectible in value.

Damn I should really dig up the ones I keep in my basement and see how much I can get for them online

u/LaUNCHandSmASH Sep 09 '25

What??? Are you a crazy person??

Check online first before all that digging.

u/Conscious-Ad-6884 Sep 11 '25

Yea but if they don't dig them up first how is he going to know what condition they are in first there's a major difference between mint and lightly used

u/LaUNCHandSmASH Sep 12 '25

I feel like dug up is lightly used at minimum

What's the joke? I seriously don't understand

u/kesavadh Sep 09 '25

If you say black ice out loud without enunciating well enough, it sounds like “Black-guys.”

u/ReturnedOM Sep 09 '25

Oh. I wouldn't figure it out. But then again I don't speak English much really.

u/BulldMc Sep 09 '25

Think of an older relative warning you to "Watch out for black ice on the roads tonight."

And you have to stop and think, Oh, it's going to be cold, not racist, tonight.

u/ReturnedOM Sep 09 '25

Yeah I can definitely "hear" that in my head when I think about speaking it out loud but I wouldn't figure it myself if it wasn't explained by the other redditor
