On the one hand, salt destroys cars, which is based. On the other hand, salt destroying cars means more cars get bought, which is cringe. On the third hand, salt makes it easier to walk, which is based. On the fourth hand, salt is notoriously bad for the environment (nobody ever threatened to beet juice someone's fields, you know) which is hella cringe.
I guess what I'm saying is skip the salt, use beet juice, and lay out spike strips on the road
On the fourth hand
Are you a Machamp?
Why beet juice? (I have a really hard time not calling it beetle juice)
Beet juice isn't as good a de-icer as salt, but it does lower the freezing point of water and it doesn't kill plants
Wouldn't it make everything beet colored and dye stuff? Like let's say I have white carpet and I use beet juice to de-ice my walkway, wouldn't I get beet juice on my shoes and immediately dye my carpet once I walk inside? (If this is too American for you because in your country people remove their shoes, it's common to have carpet all the way to the door in the US)
Idunno, maybe. I live in the US too, but I'm in an apartment so I'm not the one de-icing walkways. Maybe I should switch it to sugar instead of beet juice, since I'm pretty sure it's the sugar in that that reduces the freezing temperature of water anyway, and sugar doesn't (as far as I know) turn stuff red
Are you actually using beet juice? I would recommend sand, fine gravel or something else that prevents slipping.
