The majority of the aluminum in circulation in the US is recycled. It’s significantly more than even glass and paper. The reason is because it’s much cheaper to use recycled aluminum than raw.
But you’re right when it comes to plastic.
It’s not exclusive to older generations unfortunately.
Sometimes it does seem like everyone’s on a soapbox or cynical crusade about some shit or another and you’re a bad person if you don’t know or care.
Lots of places on Reddit and Twitter also feel that way. I think it’s just an inherent part of mass online interaction.
I’m sorry to doubt you, but it will certainly ferment with a 1:3 ratio of grape/acid vinegar to distilled water, even with lemon juice added. We usually do less than that (10-20%), but it’s not too much to work.
I have seen plenty of those videos and that’s what made me wonder why it’s not a concern for these traditional recipes. All I can say is, the jars in that third recipe are very common to see in Turkey and no one burps them, nor do we have exploding turşu jars. I think the other poster is right that that type of screw lid may not be fully airtight. But I assure you, it’s not a concern for anyone making fermented turşu.
This is why I was curious. It seems it’s a different technique which is relatively unknown outside the near east and west Asia. I have to assume slower fermentation (possibly due to the vinegar and hot solution, as you suggest) is a big part of it. Also, most recipes will only ferment for 2 to 6 weeks.
Le Parfait style. It has a replaceable rubber seal.
I mean like the seal is not normally permeable, as evidenced by being watertight (for a period of time) even with some negative pressure inside the jar created by the cooling solution. However, once there is enough positive pressure from fermentation gasses inside the jar, it becomes permeable. In other words, it’s selectively permeable for positive pressure. I suppose that might be due to momentary one-way deformation of the rubber at a certain pressure which might be why you’re not supposed to reuse them for fermentation, and why it’s so important not to open the jar until it’s ready to be eaten. Basically, it might be acting as a very simple one-way airlock. But this is just a guess. And I am probably overthinking it.
We do use those jars primarily - the ones with rubber seals. I was wondering if there’s some kind of positive pressure selectivity in this mechanism which would explain why it is watertight under most circumstances, especially at the start while the solution cools and creates negative pressure. If that’s the case, I should expect it to leak slowly if I left it upside down for a long period of time (not brave enough to try though).
I’m looking forward to your blog post.
Yes, they do bubble. And yes, the jar is watertight.
Let me share a couple of random English turşu recipes from a quick google search. You can see they all say to cap the bottle and put it away for days/weeks. No mention of burping even though these are all fermented. Only open when ready to eat.

This is exactly how my family does it, too. So how is it possible these don’t require burping? There is still some pressure build up, but certainly not nearly enough to break glass or pop a screw lid. I’m convinced I’ve misunderstood something.
Can you describe what they look like? Would these leak if you left them upside down?
Thank you for the informative answer. My family uses glass jars with a rubber seal and a wire lock. Maybe there is some way for pressure to get out, but you can keep the jar fully upside down (actually you are supposed to until it cools to room temperature) and it won’t leak. I’m wondering if there is a vacuum created by the solution cooling in the sealed jar which is enough to offset the gasses. When you open them when they’re finished, they pop open with some force like a carbonated drink.
There is also the chickpeas, which Turkish turşu recipes always include. Chickpeas absorb carbon dioxide, but I have no idea if it’s at a scale that could make a difference. They prevent the juice from getting cloudy too, and I don’t know how they do that either. Any ideas?
As for the solution, that makes sense about the vinegar, but we have definitely boiled the solution, added it to the jar (not while boiling but almost), and had fermentation. I think it might depend on the vegetable structure - perhaps the bacteria in the deep folds of the cabbage survive? I’m not sure, all I can say is it certainly works. These are definitely fermented, not like vinegar pickled veggies (which we also make).
Idk if that helps your point as it’s simultaneously one of the most studied and least understood things in physics. Although I doubt a creationist could mount that argument.
Your concern is well placed. Better to enjoy it for what it is, essentially the next Larian/Divinity game. If you want a successor to Baldur’s Gate, it’s in the Pillars of Eternity and Pathfinder series.
I would say they have at least 2 good games (this and Crusader) but I agree. I’m getting really tired of seeing the same games over and over with a new coat of paint and shinier graphics.
Wow I guess they’re not even trying to hide it anymore.
There’s a ton of these accounts. They gather karma with scripts that randomly repost top 100 all time posts on big subs and then delete them so their account looks clean. Then they sell it to ad companies that post client sanctioned posts and comments and get paid based on user engagement with the brand.
Check out r/hailcorporate. A huge portion of Reddit is just guerrilla advertising.
From the article:
It is unclear if the claim of “at Gamescom” means that Nintendo will be holding a Nintendo Direct the week of the show (22nd to the 27th of August) or if the company with announce a potential Switch 2 at a Gamescom event, such as Geoff Keighley’s co-run Opening Night Live event on the 22nd of August.
The Switch was announced via a tweet in 2016, only a handful of months before the console’s release
I’ve had the same thought, but sucking it up would mean using the official Reddit app or old Reddit on my phone/tablet (at least until they kill that, too), which are both just too annoying of an experience to be worth it to me. It’s not a principle thing, it’s a usability thing.
For the time being, I’ve just accepted that it’s gone and I’ll miss it for a good while. I’ve been browsing some old school forums for my random hobbies (Gear Page, Hard Forum, Steam, Fresh Loaf etc.), but otherwise, I’ve found other things to occupy my down time until either Lemmy’s smaller communities take off or something else fills the anonymous-niche-hobby-social-media void. Got me some cool books and Picross on Switch.
I disagree. While I do like that the discussions and top level comments are not nearly as homogenized as Reddit eventually became, I’m really missing the niche communities. I wasn’t subscribed to any large subs on Reddit, so my feed was basically just a curated list of discussions for my hobbies. No memes, news, pop culture, internet drama, or politics. Right now, that’s just not possible on Lemmy due to the low population.
It does feel a little dead here. Right now it’s mostly memes, meta discussions, or Reddit hate. And the crowd is a very specific type of hyper aware internet dweller (myself included).
Reddit isn’t worth using without third party apps, and it’s the only social media I used before Lemmy, so I’m spending a lot more time off my phone nowadays. I only check the daily top on Lemmy once a day instead of compulsively every time I touch my phone. Guess that’s a good thing.
Stop buying games that use additional launchers. Ubisoft has been notorious for this since AC2 in 2009, and it didn’t work any better back then.
This means people in the test market are clicking on those ads. Not much we can do about it at that point - it works therefore they’ll use it.
