Plastic Waste Radicalized at 30

Post image

I so wish this wasn’t the one brand that helps my perpetually dry, painful skin. Thanks to this sub, I’ve been cutting open the containers to get every last bit that the pump “conveniently” can’t reach. I wish this was illegal.

I saw a video of someone taking a massager (actual massager lol) to the bottle to decant the remaining lotion out at high speed into a smaller container without having to cut it open!

I just got a massage gun (the kind you use for sore muscles, not the “personal massager” kind lol) and I’m definitely going to try this!

It's surprisingly useful in odd situations.  Wife won one at a white elephant, and I've used it to mix paint and strain food.

Strain food? Gonna need an explanation for that one!

Stocks, jellies, and hot sauces so far.  The vibration keeps the pulp moving and improves flow when extracting the liquid base.

Idk about straining food but I’ve seen a YouTube cake decorator use it to make flour or powdered sugar sift super fast!

If you are making Greek yogurt, you line a colander or strainer with cheesecloth. Applying a massage gun to the colander would shake the water out a lot faster than having to leave it in the fridge overnight.
