The cobblestone roads shook up all the drinks I was carrying home on my bike 😠
A backpack would solve this. Our bodies are suspension, so just put anything shake-sensitive in your backpack while driving home.
but 6 liters of cola? you can’t fit that in a backpack
Why not?
I just backpacked home 18 cans which is about exactly 6 litres.
But I could easily also fit 3 2 l bottles or 6 1l bottles or 12 0.5 bottles.
And that still leaves like half to a third of my backpack available, depending on the shape of the containers.
Backpacks are usually around 20-30 liters in size.
Edit also tbh that looks more like 6 1.5l bottles but I’m not sure of that and I think it’ll they’d fit in my backpack
1.25L actually if you look at the top of them. but that must be an exceptionally big backpack. or maybe that size is just not that common in my country for some reason
They need to be cooled anyway before being drunk, so the beverage has some time to relax
also if you spin the bottle a few times (while it’s oriented normally) all of the bubbles stuck to the side go to the top and redissolve….
learned it on “better call saul” and it works amazingly.
….
since the bubbles are lighter than the liquid, when you spin it centrifugal force knocks the bubbles off the wall….It still takes hours for those to dissolve.
Also, with those bottles, if you’re prepared for them to potentially explode, you can open them carefully and just close it again if pressure leaks out quickly once the seal opens. Then let out the extra pressure in short bursts and the bubbles won’t bring a bunch of liquid with them because they can’t build enough momentum to lift it.
I get more bike maintenance issues if my route to work has a lot of cobbled roads. I end up taking longer routes to avoid the cobbles. There are not enough dedicated cycle paths.
I still wonder who ever thought cobbled roads are a great idea.
Terrible to ride. Terrible to walk. Bad at just about everything.
If you shoot your finger against the side (like shooting away a cigarette bud) several times, then slowly rotate the bottle around it’s axel while it’s standing on a table several times, you can safely open them without them squirting all over the place. It truly works, also with shaken soda/beer cans.
What I do with these groceries is put them in a bag on my back or in my hand when cycling. The rack is for other stuff like veggies and other stuff that can handle the shaking or might get shitty when stuffed in a bag.
But you have a nice rack on your bike. Although it looks hard to take anyone on the back, unless they stand upright.
Better call Saul taught me this!
I can confirm, flicking your finger on the side of the bottle works. I have no Idea why tho.
There’s more CO2 dissolved in the water than there can be at atmospheric pressure. The CO2 is constantly trying to escape, but in order to do so it needs a nucleation site that disturbs the water. When the drink is shaken, lots of little bubbles form, and stick to the inner wall of the drink. These bubbles are nucleation sites. Flicking the side of the drink makes them float up and pop.
Increases pressure so the gases dissolve back into the liquid. Probably.
That makes no sense. I apply way more pressure than a flick just by holding the bottle to open it
Maybe peak pressure is higher for a millisecond when you flick the bottle. A flick would send a little shockwave through the bottle.
So where’s the problem?
that’s a first world problem if i’ve ever seen one
The worst part is becoming accustomed to fresh, high-quality food and espresso within 100m of every human at all times.
Also, OP, why are you having “American Breakfast”? Where’s your croissant?
Where’s your croissant?
In my MOUF
Are those croissants store-bought or from a bakery/cafe? Because i’d like to know where I can buy vegan croissants that look that good.
They’re from Moss, a chain of bakeries around the Aachen area ^^ Their vegan Streuselbrötchen are incredible as well!
Are you dipping that croissant in ketchup
I don’t think she’s Scandinavian.
Vad var det du sa
It’s probably jam
Tomato jam
The deathgrip. As if that croissant owes you money or something.
She’s just still so mad that her drinks are all shaken up.
That actually makes perfect sense. The ketchup on the croissant must not be helping either.
I’m sure it’ll be bearable once she dipped it in the coffee.
That’s even “worse” than the 15 minute city. MAGA would lose their minds.
It seems the solution to all your problems are:
- Big trucks
- Suburban sprawl
- Privatized healthcare
- Rabid anti-communism
- Christian-fascist leaders
Maybe throw a housing association in there too. You’ve gotta make sure your fining people for growing the wrong flowers.
My mother and former stepfather wants it, because they think it’s only about making sure people mow their grass on the regular, because wasps might be nesting there.
Or a mountain bike with suspension
Or drinking less soda
nah, bring me my christian-fascist leaders!
/s
Number 4 is reasonable if people are educated on what Marxism is in theory and practice
Now see. That is communism. And communism is just fucking Hitler.
Fascist religious leaders on the other hand might save you in the end.
3 of those are already set in motions.
I live in the Netherlands. Every year I see more and more American trucks on the road. The cancer is spreading.
We need a 500% tariff on US vehicles.
500% import duty is way too much.
80% is enough.
High one-time taxes are not a good idea.
Rather dilute them into 8 seperate yearly taxes.
A curb weight tax of 40% sounds reasonable. A fuel inefficiency penalty of 25% also sounds good.
At least a 15% tax on anything shorter than 1 meter being invisible from the cabin is also very warranted.
That’s 3 of 8.
Additionally, whenever a truck is involved in a crash treat it disfavourably. That should drive up insurance premiums.
So with my 80/80 tax mix they’d actually pay 880% tax in the first 10 years of ownership with 3 basic taxes.
There is hope! I convinced my neighbor to downgrade his f150 into a Tacoma…
I can’t stand big cars.
We need to stop it from spreading. Genuinely ass to see these non-logical small pp vehicles exist here in any capacity.
Or simply waiting a bit before drinking the soda to let the CO2 settle and stop being a whiny little baby about minor inconveniences.
Let a girl shitpost! My manager insisted that I take the day off to enjoy the nice weather and I’m bored as hell 😠
manager: have a day off, enjoy the nice weather!
home inside: 32°C
Lemmy Shitpost is actually a place where people can come and dissect humor, and eventually turn it political.
Throw a mentos in those bottles and you’ll no longer be bored
You’ll have to wash 3 years of laundry after, but you won’t be bored
Damn right, girl! Shitpost and chill!
Shaking does not affect this the way you think it does. You’ll be fine as long as you wait like 10-60 seconds after shaking vigorously. The liquid and gas pressure inside will reach equilibrium, and no matter how much shaking you do, it won’t degas further.
Also, keep in mind that it’s mostly temperature and surface area that causes soda to degas (fall out of solution).
Fun fact: this is why paper straws are inferior to plastic straws for drinking soda, because paper is insanely more porous than plastic, and causes rapid degassing of the soda inside of the straw, rather than in your mouth, throat, and stomach. (There are other reasons, too, but this one is often not considered by most people)
Carry metal straws. They’re awesome
I don’t like the way they taste. I’m on team glass straws.
Metal straws have to have a rubber or other dielectric mouthpiece, or electrolysis sets up in the mouth and the electrical activity confuses the hell out of the taste buds.
Hot take: I actually like the cardboard ones
Even better, no straw. Sip it straight from the cup.
Nah, curl your tongue into a tube and stick it in the drink to use as a straw
Anteater detected
I raw dog my drinks.
Cool them down and let settle before opening. Should help.
With cans you tap on the top a few times before opening them so that the fizz doesn’t come bursting out. Is there a similar trick for bottles?
That’s half myth. It might work a little, it might not work at all. Best bet is to just let the beverage sit for a couple minutes.
:O
I learned it in some science-y educational TV show from when I was a kid. It’s never failed me.
Found another video with more info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrizFz-bgX0
I don’t know who “dine in style” is, and I’m not watching a video.
Here’s one from BBC science focus:
Tapping the sides of the can before you open it might help to dislodge the bubbles, so the gas is all at the top of the can and there are fewer nucleation sites. But it’s only partially effective. Leaving the can to stand for a minute works better.
Snopes describes the process and actually conducts an experiment: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/on-tap/
So hence my suggestion that it may work, but is mostly likely myth.
Contrary to what would seem logical, you’re actually supposed to shake them side to side, canceling out the fizz. It’s best to open it up right afterward as well, while holding it under your nose. Old wives trick
This is why you need aomwthing with tank treads. Like a tank for example
Stupid part is that I can’t ride a tank around here with all the tank-hostile architecture 😠 They got these triangular tank obstacles scattered around everywhere, it’s so inconvenient!
https://www.slashgear.com/1567777/ww2-dragons-teeth-tank-obstacles/
You need a Mars rover style split tank thread solution!
Also some better shock absorbers, also like a Mars rover
Op didn’t say if they were in Germany or not.
Or just say you’re feeling like Poland and tanks will appear
Maybe you should put something to dampen that. Like bubble wrap, newspapers, stuffed animals?
You’re saying I should have bought more chips?? Don’t mind if i doo
If you buy potato chips as shock absorbers you’ll come home with potato dust
Still tasty though
As long as they’re hot they shouldn’t pop. The fizzing over should only happen when it’s cold.
Ha! I needed baguettes, got two and tossed them in the bike basket, feeling so European, until one loaf bounced out and was run over by a car, at which point I felt oh so American!
American here. I have seen plenty of roadkill in my lifetime, but none of it was ever a baguette.
In my experience the roadkill is way more likely to be the cyclist. You really can’t ride a bike where I live.
somebody crusha ma baguette 🐭😡
