A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

I didn’t realise Sodastream had a lock-in mechanism, which means buyers not only support Israel w/the purchase but they are in fact forced to continue supporting Israel. The DiY page you linked says this:
Oof.. so IIUC, Sodastream needs electricity for the purpose of powering a vendor lock-in mechanism. yikes.
In my area, the streets are littered with N₂O tanks because making whipped cream is /very/ popular (particularly around university campuses). I wonder if those tanks can be repurposed for fizzy drinks. I heard they are spec’d to handle around 100 bar, which is far beyond what would be needed.
For those that are intrigued/confused, there is no actual whipped cream being made, inhaling compressed NO2 is just an easy way to get a quick, very temporary high (generally called 'whippets'.
This does fuck you up long term, especially higher doses, just like every other drug on the market.
I agreed with you up till this point. Not sure which market you mean here. The nitrous oxide I referred to is the food market. There is also N₂O in the car market and dental markets. Only dentistry has other drugs but I doubt that is what you are referring to. Assuming you meant the black market of recreational drugs, no they are not all equal. N₂O can permanently damage the nervous system after copious use, but not really mj, lsd, or shrooms.
LSD, shrooms, weed can DEFINITELY permanently fuck you up in large doses. I wasn't referencing sane recreational amounts, I meant amounts only an idiot would consume.
