but it's the only good way to carbonate milk :(

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

I had never considered this possibility. I have milk in the fridge and a soda stream... the temptation is immense.

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 2 points 14 minutes ago

It's a very creative way of making milk that isn't spoiled, but tastes like it is.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Do it and report back. Ideally via live stream.

Foamy diarrhea

Mind you you also support apartheid by buying an overpriced product made in occupied West Bank Territories.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 20 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

thats why my cartridges are aftermarket and not by "jews and arabs working in harmony" as sodastream on their product packaging suggests.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

Ugh. Welp I already own two bottles (BB&B clearance), know where I can refill them instead of exchanging?

[–] EvilBit@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

I’ve read about ballers who pop the top and drop the appropriate weight of dry ice in. There are tutorials out there but it’s scarier than I’m willing to take on.

Don’t look at me though, I use Drinkmate.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 4 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

they wont be refilled, but perhaps there are stores with no name branded co2 cartridges?

[–] wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works 7 points 8 hours ago

There are offbrands like Indigo, but they can be refilled as well. Stores won't do it, but you can buy a 5~10lbs tank from a beer supply store and fittings and adapters from eBay/Ali.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 hours ago

I only use no2 cartridges

[–] UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

There are alternatives tho, no reason to support them

[–] erusuoyera@sh.itjust.works 30 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

OK, but...that entire tank contains less CO² than the average car emits every kilometre. I don't think soda stream are contributing massively to global warming. The fact that it's an Israeli company with a history of exploitation of Palestinian labor, complicity in settlement expansion, and continued violations of Palestinian human rights, is a very good reason not to use it.

Edit. Oops, worked that out from the assumption of 60L of CO², closer inspection shows 410g, which would be around 3.5 KM.

Edit 2. The average person breaths out more than twice this amount of CO² a day. Perhaps being complicit in genocide is Soda Stream being carbon neutral?

I think the loss of human lives at a large scale will eventually bring a new earth cycle to normality. It may not be the same ecosystem that it was, but it might be stable with humans being less of an infestation. This may be virus or starvation. We'll all see soon enough.

[–] Depress_Mode@lemmy.world 10 points 7 hours ago

Say no to ecofascism, kids.

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I'm trying to follow the logic here.

SodaStream ---> Zombie apocalypse

Climate change and humans is the underlying topic.

[–] JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 1 points 5 hours ago

People keep mentioning Drinkmate, and it sounds fine but I've never heard of it- in Europe you can get the Aarke which is essentially a (I believe) Danish clone, interchangeable bottles etc

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 6 hours ago

How wasteful.

Just take a mouthful of squash and blow into it really hard.

[–] arrakark@10291998.xyz 13 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

One of those canisters is equivalent to burning 178mL of gasoline. Or enough to power an average car for 2km. Most people burn through the equivalent of 30+ of these a day going to work and back.

[–] arrakark@10291998.xyz 12 points 10 hours ago

Oh sorry, I didn't realize this was a shitpost 🤦‍♂️

[–] pufferfisherpowder@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

You better get a glass of sparkling water in your hands, stat

[–] EmoDuck@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

So what you're saying is I should drink the water that drips out of my exhaust when I start the car on colder days?

[–] erusuoyera@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago

You don't already?

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 9 hours ago

Non-carbonated tapwater for the win

[–] 474D@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

I tried this on vodka and it blew up.

[–] Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 1 points 1 hour ago

Tried it on white wine and it made champagne that was better than champagne btw

Specifically Gewürztraminer

[–] subignition@fedia.io 10 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Soda stream is inferior. Get a drinkmate, it'll carbonate anything

[–] Sprocketfree@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Or a corny keg and a 5lb cylinder. Zero waste too and you reuse everything.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

I just use a carbonation cap for a normal 2L bottle.

[–] the_tab_key@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

This is what I do and it's fantastic.
