Really only a thing in the US our legal system is kind of shit.

Libel laws and other censorship across Europe is pretty fucked. As a case in point, some of the highest instances of enforcement of anti-semitism laws in Germany are against Jews protesting for the rights of other Middle Eastern ethnicities.

It’s not really like that. You only hear about the crazy lawsuits because they are crazy. Local lawyer used to talk about this on the radio.
You don’t dare bring frivolous shit before a judge. For one, they’ll almost always refuse to hear the case, you lose. Two, you just made an ass of yourself in front of a judge who you will being standing in front of in the future. Three, keep pulling bullshit suits and you can get disbarred.

Well, the only thing needed for genetic material to remain is fucking. That’s why we’re still here, fucking and murdering everything else.

It’s not the stupid ones that threaten the species, it’s the ones smart (and unwise) enough to develop nukes and missiles.

It wasn’t when some lady sued McDonald’s because she injured herself spilling coffee on herself.
It wasn’t when they started printed “warning coffee is hot” on the cups.
I realized humanity is fucked when personal injury lawyers made the argument that “actually that lady was right to sue” go viral. Some mix of internet contrarianism, distrust of “mainstream media”, and general dislike of anything “boomers” have said made people so incredibly gullible that they’ll agree with anything that will make them feel smart for being dumb enough to believe coffee isn’t supposed to be hot.

Coffee isn’t supposed to be served hot enough to give third degree burns causing hundreds of thousands of dollars of medical bills. That’s actually illegal. When the health department gives several warnings and a senior corporate executive orders employees to disobey the law, that makes judges very, very grumpy. Lawsuits are a stupid system, but they literally the only system we have for legally fighting back against corporations. There is nothing else you can do if they wrong you. Spreading the idea that you shouldn’t sue is only taking away your only method of defending yourself within the law. You are being a corporate shill right now.

If I spill a pot of boiling water onto my crotch while making Mac & Cheese I’d suffer the same injuries it’s not the Kraft corporation’s fault. Making coffee involves boiling water and McDonald’s is not actually able to change chemistry and make water boil at a higher temperature in their restaurants.
You can easily just make a cup of instant coffee according to the directions and use a thermometer to verify the whether the temperatures cited in the lawsuit are “too hot”. They actually were lower than the temperature of coffee people commonly make at home. Sorry, you got played by personal injury lawfirms and internet meme culture.

Ms. Liebeck, who was 79 years old at the time, suffered from second- and third-degree burns. These burns were severe, and covered her labia, buttocks, and inner thighs.
Ms. Liebeck was hospitalized for seven days and spent another three weeks recuperating at home.

They deliberately served the coffee at a temperature far above safe levels, and knew it was dangerous. That’s what got them kicked in the ass in court.
This response doesn’t reflect well on you at all.

On the front page of the site you linked to:
The Gravier House Press sponsors a collection of books and other writings, including a literary blog and a law blog (or “blawg”), to promote discussion around literature, the media, pop culture, the arts, the practice of law, and substantive legal developments.
So a site made by laywers is telling you it’s reasonable to sue for stupid reasons. Like I say, it’s a narrative promoted by lawyers.
The temperature cited on the site is 185 degrees. Seems like a lot, right? It’s no problem to put a thermometer into a cup of coffee. Unfortunately I can’t find the photos the last time I did this very difficult experiment to verify the claim of these lawyers. But science is about peer review, so do you want to measure the normal temperature of coffee or should I?

I invite you to take a look at what the coffee actually did to her before you keep running your mouth. NSFL. If you would not like to look, I offer my services as a transcriber to describe it in depth for you. Whatever I can to make this awful lie McDonalds perpetuated to finally go away.
SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 5 weeks ago
allaboutlawyer.com doesn’t make you think this might be coming from personal injury lawfirms?
Now find me the temperatures cited in the lawsuit and I’ll find the photos I took when I actually measured the temperature of instant coffee when made according to the directions. Spoilers: the temperature even after adding cream and sugar is hotter than the temperature McDonald’s was serving.

It has to be, it’s in the fold of the lid, you have to open the box to see it.

It’s on the outside of the box. But everyone in this thread is acting like this is serious.
