A pal of mine accidentally carbonated his toilet water for an unknown number of days recently

I just like to remind myself of this every once in a while.

@gnomon how do you accidentally carbonate your toilet water

@welshpixie

Step 1: install a 5kg CO2 canister & regulator under your kitchen sink because you are a maniac and desire a dedicated faucet for spicy water

Step 2: install a faulty electrovalve downstream of the CO2 regulator

Step 3: have a plumbing system with a slight negative pressure bias from the toilet system

Step 4: neglect to notice your CO2 tank slowly carbonating your whole household plumbing system

Honestly a work of art of unparalleled beauty.

@welshpixie my only regret is that he had not yet installed a bidet before this incident
@gnomon ahahahahahahahahaha
@welshpixie @gnomon THIS is why I come to Mastodon.
@gnomon @welshpixie oh that would've been interesting D:
@gnomon @welshpixie “I enjoy the gentle tickle.“
@gnomon @welshpixie same … I wish I was his CO2 salesman as well
@gnomon @welshpixie this was my first thought... spicy butt bubbler!

@gnomon also 'spicy water', I love it

Have you seen Ted Lasso? XD

@gnomon @welshpixie And I thought I was a maniac for buying 1kg bricks of dry ice at my grocery store, chewing them up in a 1950s hand-cranked ice crusher, and using the CO2 powder (swiftly, swiftly!) to refill the proprietary gas cannisters that expensively power the market-leading countertop spicy-water dispensers.
@ErosBlog Yeah, I'm gonna need a how-to on this please.
@julie It's not mine, but it's one of the ones I watched when I was figuring this out: https://kinkyelephant.com/@ErosBlog/112254192923559869

@gnomon @welshpixie He must have been flush with pride.
@gnomon @[email protected] honestly, build a kegerator! it's a lot cheaper!
@Tribear I agree about effectiveness of the solution in the abstract but also: I refuse to forego this bubbling, sparkling font of delight
@gnomon @welshpixie thank you for expanding the perimeter of my knowledge of the conceivable scope of human ingenuity and folly.
@gnomon @welshpixie I feel like carbonated water would be so refreshing for our bidets! Lol
@gnomon @welshpixie lol it's a good job he didn't have an electric power shower, that could've gotten very iffy given the compressibility and the way the switch-on sensors work.
@gnomon sparkling shower ✨
@gnomon @[email protected] While I haven't done steps 2–4, step 1 was my favorite kitchen upgrade ever. Fizzy water on demand, and never having to return cans again. 👍
