All these Europeans seeing train stations while us North Americans wish we had train stations.

Lol I thought it was cali's BART

[–] joanwestenberg@lemmy.world 123 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I legit thought this was a photo of a train station

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 day ago

Next stop, devastation of Kentucky's economy.

[–] MY_ANUS_IS_BLEEDING@lemm.ee 17 points 1 day ago

I can't see it any other way. Those are some massive wine bottles.

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

At least someone is brave enough to say it!

Also what's up with the suicide gangplanks.

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

After reading your comment, I was trying to figure out what those and thinking they connect to the train doors or something.

I even saw this post earlier today 🤦

[–] toaster@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day ago

Your write some of the best essays I've read btw. I appreciate you.

[–] nik282000@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 day ago

Good. Canada is finally not just an economic appendage to the USA. Regardless of which party or president is running the show, Canadian politicians should remember how quickly they derailed us for their own gain.

As a Californian whose mom is Canadian, I’m saddened but completely understand. A lot whole lot of us west coast folk stand with you brave northerners. For freedom and justice, stand up, fight back.

Opening the image before reading the caption: Why is there a tiny ledge extending over that train line on the platform at California station?

[–] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 36 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I've read your comment and looked back and I still see a train station. What is it supposed to be?

[–] watty@lemm.ee 33 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is depicting empty metal shelving. What looks like rails for a train is the lip of a shelf. What looks like the near-side of the tracks is the floor, and what looks like the far side of the tracks is the top of the shelving. That little balcony seems to be some place for displaying featured products of some sort.

Definitely hard to break the image of a train platform though.

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

...but why do the shelves look like they incinerated the bottles in-place?

[–] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

The Snap but only for American bottles.

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Ikr. This photo is such a mind fk haha

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Look at the far right of the image where there's products on the shelves, it'll make more sense.

[–] dumpsterac1d@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

Silly, it's america, there are no trains in California.

(There are, before anyone gets at me)

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Took me far too long to realise it’s a picture of shelves in a store and not a train station store 😂

[–] drool@lemmy.catsp.it 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Even after the caption, my brain had to adjust for the human sized wine bottles waiting for their morning commute

[–] ryan213@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago

And the people are lined up so neatly and colour-coordinated.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 day ago

Great news for the economy in my home state (Cali).

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 33 points 1 day ago

Friendship ended with drive through liquor stores now train station liquor store is my new best friend.

[–] Adrius@ttrpg.network 37 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hopefully they can soon use that empty space for booze from other provinces.

[–] 200ok@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

I'd even take more Ontario wineries getting more shelf space

[–] don@lemm.ee 17 points 1 day ago

All that’s left to do is change the signage and put out wine from other European countries. EZPZ

[–] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

i've ordered a box of Sortilège to Germany, that's the good stuff

[–] Thepotholeman@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Dude! Hell yes. Try some in your coffee in the morning;)

[–] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

oh wow this opens new possibilities 🤩

[–] Thepotholeman@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Literally the best. No creamer needed I find

[–] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

i'll report tomorrow after breakfast!

[–] Thepotholeman@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)
[–] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 13 hours ago

okay it's just amazing, what have I done all these years 🤩

[–] veeesix@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I’ll buy a bottle of Crown Royal in solidarity.

[–] SGforce@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Get some 40creek for much better whisky

[–] LightOnFoot@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Try 40 Creek Confederation Oak for a higher end Canadian whisky. It’s my favourite in the $70 range

[–] SGforce@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm partial to the copper pot. It's just so good for that price range.

[–] LightOnFoot@lemmy.ca 3 points 22 hours ago

I tried that one when I visited their distillery last year. I thought it was pretty good, but it was a tasting and so the fact I also tried the Confederation Oak at the same time, probably didn’t help much. Maybe I’ll pick up a bottle the next time I want a cheaper whisky. I don’t really have a go-to Canadian at that price point, though I have been enjoying Canadian Club 12 Year recently. Way better than the regular CC, which I find to be a pretty boring drink.

[–] generallynonsensical@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I haven't had Crown Royal in years. It used to be a pretty decent mid-shelf whiskey. Still?

[–] veeesix@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

We’ll find out this weekend!

[–] shoulderoforion@fedia.io 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

no photo, or link attached to this post, just the post title. maybe it's because on on mbin?

[–] astrsk@fedia.io 5 points 1 day ago

Been like this for a while here. Every few posts just have a title and absolutely nothing else. Using fedia.io mbin.
