"shittitest alchemist currently alive" has got to be one of the most challenging titles to hold onto for any serious length of time

Shou Tucker had it locked down for quite a while

This is my absolute favorite thing about the internet.

People doing harmless stupid shit and telling everyone else about it.

Seriously, the best, because then I don’t have to try it myself.

"Rank", indeed ...

Kefir or my personal favorite, yogurt flavored Milkis

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

There you go Milkis is literally OP. Assuming it comes from the Milkis region of the Republic of Korea. Otherwise it’s sparkling yoghurt.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I only get my Milkis from the most authentic sources - from a GS25 in Hongdae at 3am, stumbling in after several drinks and a pack of long island iced tea cigarettes smoked in the club, paired with a bulgogi kimbap

Well... The sparkling will be really intense and short-lived, as all that carbonic acid reacts with the bases on the milk. Then it will be completely flat.

Also, from the taste of old tooth-paste, I imagine CaCO3 tastes like spoiled sand would if sand was capable of spoiling.

If you ever need buttermilk for baking and don't have it, add a little white vinegar to milk and wait a few minutes for a decent substitute.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I don't know if this is a true fact, nor will I be baking anytime soon. But this information will sit in my brain for years until one day someone is baking and I'll either look like a genius or ruin a good cake.

It works great in pancakes. Buttermilk > sour milk > milk.

New York figured it out. Behold the egg cream: milk, seltzer, chocolate syrup. It's delicious.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The secret ingredient to turn "Instant Spoiled Milk into a great beverage is chocolate syrup??

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

It's science.

Korean have somee form of carbonated milk called milk kiss. It's amazing

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Japan has Calpis Soda. Also delicious. (Although i think this is a yogurt based drink)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

That's why they use nitrogen and some nitrogen oxide in whipped cream spray cans.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (2 children)

That's not how they make fizzy drinks, they directly add the CO2. The acid thing is a myth, you'd just get very sour and weird tasting water with the slightest bit of gas since that process is too slow to be viable for this use.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Carbon dioxide dissolved in water creates some carbonic acid. Don't think they meant they added carbonic acid to water to carbonate drinks.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Very little tho. And it's what they said as well as a common belief

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

It's actually quite a bit. It's enough to push the ph of carbonated water down to around 4.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago

The carbon dioxide reacts with water to decrease the pH. That sounds like it is an acid to me.

I was literally just discussing this last night which one of my friends are you

Now you can experience drinking spoiled milk without getting sick! Unless the taste alone makes you vomit.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Calpis tastes excellent though
