Dustin, 5/4/22

I'm going give the "joke" in today's Dustin the zero attention it deserves and instead will focus on a background detail that is driving me crazy. Whenever I do something like this, I get a million comments that gaslight me like, "Josh, it's actually 100% normal for someone to make and eat an ice cream cone at home, you're the weird one" but: do you freaks really have ice cream cones at home???? I mean, a big thing of ice cream in the freezer, sure, that's normal, but decent people eat it out of a bowl, or out of the carton over the sink. Having a box (?) of ice cream cones in the pantry (??), ready to fill with ice cream at any moment, seems decadent and perverse to me, but I'm just a simple, honest American who maybe doesn't understand this modern world anymore, just like Dustin's atlas-loving dad.
