Facebook Aunt posted:You don't want clear anyway, translucent works best for scattering the light. I've seen it done with a white plastic bag or bucket too. Anything that will scatter a narrow beam into a glowy blob. I've tried this with my bright, good quality headlamp and it's just some goofy lifehack stuff. You just end up with a clunky, awkward light that is too dim to see anything by unless you're right on top of it. If you're camping, just buy a drat lantern. If you're at home and the power's out, candles are cheap as poo poo, don't go bad, and last for hours. And because they're cheap as poo poo you can have many of them in multiple places to fully light an entire space rather than tote around a loving gallon of water like some kind of Spooky Hydration Fanatic.

Jerry Cotton posted:Butter goes rancid but it doesn't really go off big time stylee because it doesn't have much water, so mold can't really grow on it. I forgot a stick (why isn't it a bar by the way?) of butter on top of the fridge for four days in Summer and under the discoloured and nasty layer, which was about a centimeter thick, it was fine. Didn't taste or smell the nasty-looking bit so it being rancid was just an educated guess. If you live in such a civilized way, why don't you throw away food thats gone bad, instead of scraping layers off to try finding edible bits?

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:Do you ever post about anything but your desperate need to feel better than other people. Literally link me one post where you weren't just making GBS threads your insecurities on the floor and rolling around in them. ok you have some valid points but y'all have to balance this with the fact that JC lives in loving FINLAND, home of the finns, where the miserable dark of winter is only banished for a few days in July and never in spirit. Sure they have potable tap water, but only because the bacteria DON'T WANT TO LIVE IN loving FINLAND EITHER, and they found other options. They went like "mitosis? nah..." and just extincted themselves, blessing a nation's full of blackened shriveled hearts with a limitless supply of vodka base.

Here's a real life hack for you guys: if you live somewhere that is prone to power outages instead of loving around with butter, torches and milk jugs, go to the dollar store and buy as many led nightlights or led candles as you want. Then when the power goes out use the led lights you bought to illuminate your goon hovel. The batteries in them last forever and they provide more functional light than a candle or a torch.

Hydrogen peroxide is not a particularly strong acid, it is however an oxidant. I have no idea what is in mountain dew that's supposed to make a reaction.

zedprime posted:Batteries spoil over time due to an inevitable chemical reaction. All chemical reactions are slowed by reducing the temperature, exponentially even. Thus refrigerating or freezing your batteries can measurably extend their shelf life. Modern batteries are designed to be stored at room temperature. Putting them in the fridge/freezer does nothing to their shelf life. It can actually hurt the batteries as condensation could form on them due to the temperature change and cause corrosion.

The problem with this is that cheap LED lights are cheap and when you need them, you find they have started to fall the gently caress apart and don't want to work at all. Of course, you could buy not-cheap LED lights, but then when you need them you can't find them at all because someone (maybe some household kid) has lost them all. The taper candles, on the other hand, never go missing. Sometimes they've even multiplied.

The taper candles, on the other hand, never go missing. Sometimes they've even multiplied. Buy lights that take AA or AAA batteries, and stick them in a drawer somewhere. Unless your house is situated inside the caldera of a volcano, they won’t fall apart if they’re just sitting there.

Alaois posted:HOW CAN SOMEONE BE THIS loving GOONY ABOUT CANDLES JESUS CHRIST I like getting the big sack of tealights you can get for a dollar or two anywhere and putting bunches of them outside in areas where smokers will congregate during parties. They look cool and you can light your cigarettes with them if your lighter has disappeared somehow (you gave it to someone, they were drunk and pocketed it by accident).
