I'm not even looking for windscreen washer fluid and I'll buy European SUPERPISS

[โ€“] Akasazh@feddit.nl 13 points 2 weeks ago

I have several flasks of the stuff I bought overpriced at had stations, because I keep finding out I need a s refill when on the road. I though up until now that I would never buy another flask of the stuff for at least five years.

However this is different. I need SUPERPISS!

Same. I don't even have a car but I NEED some SUPERPISS immediately.

[โ€“] Comment105@lemm.ee 8 points 2 weeks ago

There's something ridiculously great about a people willing to call windscreen washer fluid superpiss. We should learn from the Finns.

The only ones I don't want to learn from the Finns are the Germans, because they'd take it way too far and not even be funny about it. There would be 50+ German products named something-"shit"-something, and they'd add pictures to the label.

Even as someone out side of the EU I think I might start importing this.

[โ€“] Linktank@lemmy.today 10 points 2 weeks ago

Are you taking the superpiss out of me?

[โ€“] Imgonnatrythis 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Fuck you and your ads on Lemmy but:

If I'm looking for windshield fluid I'll buy Superpiss (from Finland)

[โ€“] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 9 points 2 weeks ago

So while you're at the garage, you can pick up some Pussy and Superpiss.

[โ€“] Steamymoomilk 9 points 2 weeks ago

Awhh man i only got normal piss :(

[โ€“] gravitas_deficiency 5 points 2 weeks ago

Honestly I would buy it for the name alone lmao

[โ€“] gurnu@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Fun fact: the windshield washer (not the liquid) is called 'pissapoika' or pee boy in Finnish

[โ€“] Gladaed@feddit.org 3 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Probably contains urea to reduce the freezing point.

[โ€“] wizzor@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 weeks ago

That may be, but the finnish word for a car window washer is "pissapoika" which translates to "piss boy".

[โ€“] antimidas@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 weeks ago

Most likely not, we're already having trouble with adblue (basically just urea) freezing, especially in the northern parts. There was recently some piece of news where a repair shop in Lapland was up to their neck in repair orders for emissions control systems due to frozen adblue liquid.

Practically all washer fluid sold in Finland uses some alcohol as the deicer, typically just your normal denatured ethanol. I'd also think having urea in the washer fluid would wreak absolute havoc on some parts that get exposed to it โ€“ I'm under the impression that it's quite nasty stuff for many different materials.

[โ€“] Cyber@feddit.uk 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, but -54DegC?! Minus fifty four!

Does it really get that cold in Finland?

[โ€“] Gladaed@feddit.org 6 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, with safety margin. You gotta be safe.

[โ€“] FelixCress@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Is it made by the same company as JussiPussi bread?

[โ€“] Epzillon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
