minus-squareBucketBong@p.hobo.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up30·1 day agoDon’t they usually give them bulk icecream to eat when they need the space in the freezer for dead people?
minus-squareradiofreebc@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·21 hours agoI know they do that on cruise ships. I used to work on ships, and we always knew the onboard morgue was full when we got hard ice cream in the mess.

minus-squareMirshe@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·15 hours agoI’d be surprised if it’s not uncommon. Cruise ships tend to skew older. If they mostly did cruises that catered towards elderly vacationers, I can see more than a few of them just buying it just from the law of averages.

minus-squareLastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 hour agoTo fill a morgue you just need a higher than average mortality rate. If the ship only has room for 2, then a 3rd death means overflow. Nobody said overflow means 100 people.
