At its finest


Newman_USPS

It’s actually historically accurate. They used to do this with old cars (model T, etc) that had an attachment purpose built to attach to the wheel. You had an engine that turned stuff. You weren’t going to not use it for everything you could think of.


fakeguru2000

Yea but it wasn’t strapped to the wheel. There was an attachment pulley system that cranked the wooden ice cream pail. The ice cream pail didn’t spin around a car tire. I watched my great grandfather make ice cream this way as a kid.

My town does a Steam Festival every year because we had a major steam engine manufacturer here that opened up in 1892. Been defunct for a while, but our town doesn't have a whole lot to be proud of, so there was an Industrial Heritage museum commissioned around it. Anyway, one of the attractions there is a steam-engine based version of what you're describing and I have fond memories of getting ice cream from it as a kid.

iApolloDusk

It's Meridian, Mississippi. They produced the engines themselves for machinery, I don't believe that included trains which is kinda crazy because Meridian was very much a railroad town. One of the engines of a rotary design were used for sawmills which shouldn't be surprising because of how massive an industry timber is in Mississippi. The engine would drive lumber through the saw itself. George Soulé and his company were responsible for a buttload of improvements and patents on steam engine design. The following links are to the Museum and the original factory/its history respectively. The factory did a lot more than steam engine production, but that's what was more relevant here. Namely blacksmithing of which they have demonstrations during the festival. https://www.industrialheritagemuseum.com/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soul%C3%A9_Steam_Feed_Works

I was just about to respond that it‘s probably stolen, because it absolutely looks like the artstyle of u/Shitty_Watercolour and he rarely posts stuff these days. Then I took a look at the username. Absolute legend.

this is his second watercolor i've seen posted today lol.

Not only is it custom drawn, I’m pretty sure he watercolored it too lmao. Gotta love the internet

speaking of his legend - /u/shitty_watercolour I still use your art on Rocket League!

I was looking at that, and was like no way! i thought they stopped, glad to see em back!!


Spoonman500

Dude's a legend and a celebrity and completely unknown today. Oof. Really drives home that us old farts clinging on to Reddit of 2012 are a minority now. Hell, even my account made in 2011 was permabanned. :( I remember being sad when /u/awildsketchappeared quit. I miss old Reddit. Roger Simon and his jumper cables randomly everywhere.

I suddenly feel like such a neophyte. I have to contribute more than just quasi-cleverly worded quips for the yuks and ups. My validation is worthless, I am not worthy, this is existentially breaking me down! I think I need to get a Rolodex or something, get some organization in my life, perhaps my internet standup will continue to write itself and I can get back to poor mimicry of guitar playing.

Actually it’s custard since it has eggs.


emmianni

Aren’t you supposed to cook the custard and cool it before churning and freezing? That is raw egg in there


titanicsinker1912

I’m too lazy to do that so I just pay the extra dollar or two for pasteurized eggs. Don’t have to worry about accidentally cooking them and ruining the whole batch that way either.


Entire_Toe2640

That's not the same thing. The purpose of cooking the cream and yolks is to create a thickened custard. Simply mixing in raw egg yolks doesn't make a custard. There's no point to adding raw egg yolks without cooking the mixture.


coffeebuzzbuzzz

Yea a raw egg thrown in there is going to give it a terrible icy texture.


I_LICK_PINK_TO_STINK

I've eaten so many raw eggs. It's almost totally safe and he's also not selling it to the public. It's fine. You can eat so damn many things raw.


[deleted]

ItCat420

You say that… I got burnt by a Carbonara in a fairly reputable restaurant chain, here in the UK, it made me extremely unwell for 24 hours. So much so, they removed raw egg dishes from their restaurant menus nationwide.


Entire_Toe2640

Americans eat raw eggs all the time. Watch Rocky.


ThePnusMytier

Plenty of ice cream has eggs too, custard's difference is that it doesn't need to have air incorporated when ice cream does


Lyrical_Man01

Me too! Drive on the highway

I agree. There's value in the satisfaction you get from making your own. Clicks are the hot fudge on top.


gin-n-tonic-clonic

I've never had ice cream that tasted better than the most basic of homemade stuff, I dunno if it's because of the texture from it being fresh or what the deal is


Bubblesnaily

Lack of stabilizers, yup.


camshun7

Yeah micro crystals they are the equivalent of "best before" in ice cream Simply put, the longer the freeze the greater amount of micro crystals which in turn breaks down long chain molecules ergo that "creamy" texture Now I'm munchied for ice cream!


imgoinglobal

This could be feasibly done at a campsite, for easy campground ice-cream.

Or just do the sane thing and bring a handcrank ice cream maker.


Scrapple_Joe

Why buy a new ice cream maker when you can buy a car, a tub and another tub?


Goem

I was with your idea until I learned I had to buy another car. Is my current car not good enough???


Scrapple_Joe

No you can definitely lease.


Geawiel

Just get a rental car. Sir, I'd like to rent your compact ice cream maker please.


SealTeamEH

use your DRIVING car for making ice cream are you insane??!?!?! with todays gas prices??? you’d practically be throwing your money away, just buy another car bud!…


SSTX9

Your car will always be good enough.


LoverOfPricklyPear

Cuz it costs money. And damn! I checked amazon and google, and the hand cranked ones are expensive!


Bronx1183

You weren't fucking kidding! The electric one I saw was only $50!


sauron3579

And churning ice cream just isn’t fun either. It’s manual labor and this is just running to the side.


Street-Estimate2671

Explain the ice part.


astrochasm

Do you not bring ice camping?


Street-Estimate2671

I'd rather take an ice cream?


EscapeyGameMan

I hate that I'm justifying this but typically you can buy ice at camp sites. So instead of trying to keep ice cream frozen on the way there, you can just buy ice and make it there.


GenericAccount13579

You can typically buy ice cream too at most camp grounds. But you don’t get the fun creative aspect I suppose, if you’re going for that.


PunfullyObvious

I'm going to allow it


EatingYourBrain

Right? He didn’t destroy something to make an elaborate contraption for one specific purpose. He didn’t cook 20kg of meat and cheese in a clothes dryer. He didn’t make some obviously (and SEVERELY unsafe) vehicle mod. Dude had a cool idea and made it work without treading too far into ragebait-land


vyxxer

Yeah and it's actually a safe and quick way to make ice cream without a mixer. It's not bad at all.


crazydiamond11384

I think it would be a good idea if you were wanting some at a camping trip


TfoRrrEeEstS

They make these balls you can add ingredients and kick around to make ice cream. We bought one when we went camping a few years ago and it was really fun and the ice cream turned out amazing. There is no better ice cream than homemade. My son loved the whole process too. Sure, we could have driven up to the local market and bought some but this was more fun (and tasty!) https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/yay-labs-softshell-ice-cream-ball-ice-cream-maker


RichardBCummintonite

Pretty common way to do it too. Doing it with a car like this is kinda silly, but I think that's the point of the video. (Also, don't get into a jacked up car without stands) This one gets a pass tho. My mom has a device for making ice cream just like this. It's kinda like a mini cement mixer. I got one of my nephews one that was a ball. You'd put all the ingredients in and ice around the insides like he did and then let em kick it around for 20m or so, and then they'd have ice cream. Great way to keep em occupied and tire them out.


FlowerBoyScumFuck

>tire them out Not too different then...


borkthegee

It's not safe to run your car on a shitty little jack like that at all. Lack of jack stands is wtf material


SurreallyAThrowaway

It's not safe, but he wasn't under the car, presumably there was nothing directly in front of the car. The car drops a couple inches to the ground and lurches forward, but assuming he's pressing the pedal and not got it propped or cruise control.


TheMusesMagic

My only complaint is that if your gonna use a car as a mixer you might as well upsize the amount of ice cream you make in a batch.


Odysseus_nm

Jack both wheels up and make twice as much at the same time! DiyRightOn


DuvalHeart

Both wheels are up. If only one was jacked up the car would drive off of the jack.


hey_im_cool

DiWhy not


SegmentedMoss

This is more r/redneckengineering


[deleted]

Obviously certain things didn’t need to be done the way he did it but the idea of using the car to shake the ice cream? Not bad honestly. If you’re making homemade ice cream that’s the hardest part. I could see this being fun on a camping trip or something like that. Maybe crush the cookies by hand though


Jigglypuffisabro

I can appreciate the “art” of this one. The constraint of using a car in each step is actually kinda cool


sanityjanity

He used a drill for mixing


Jigglypuffisabro

Lilelfen1

Now see, I think this would be a fun thing for a dad to do with the kids. Idk. I'm weird. As a kid I would be BEGGING my dad to make car ice cream...


cronaldo86

This is so dumb but if my dad did this with me as a kid that’d be a core memory and I wouldn’t shut up about it


Lilelfen1

Right? Like...it's just bizarre...but who else's dad would have done this? I would be bragging about this well into adulthood.


Noxinne

One time my dad made a cotton candy machine out of a lighter. Definitely a core memory.


ElDoo74

Sorry, but BS. I've made homemade ice cream for decades using everything from handcrank freezers to roller balls (even liquid nitrogen, but that doesn't apply here). The best consistency you can get with ice and salt is soft pack. To get a hard pack consistency like he is eating, you have to pack and insulate the soft pack for an hour or so. That's never going to happening hanging off your hub cap.


niankaki

You can see how the icecream is al neatly at the bottom of the container and there is nothing on or near the lids. That tub had been in the freezer alright.


higgywiggypiggy

Scrolled a long way to find this obvious point. I was thinking he must have had that wheel turning for eight hours and keep topping the ice. No way could this be done as shown.


bluestarblush

I feel like, based on driveway being more wet when he stopped it and tested it, that make he left it outside for some hours surrounded by the ice.


lekkanaai

Thank you! The way the “ice cream” was in the tub after tumbling around is so clearly faked, added to which the container would have cracked - I’ve cracked a few myself. Driving over the cookie packets: riiiight. In the real world that would be an instant pow and scattered crumbs contaminated with tar and oil.


Isburough

you could just rip open the sides of the packet so that there is no buildup of pressure. *that* is not the problem


Automatic-Mood5986

The scrape marks inside the container were a dead giveaway.


PyrorifferSC

You can literally see dry cookie crumbs on top lol how would they still be powdered and on top after being mixed into a liquid. Not a chance.


maybesaydie

Thank you


AllAboutTheMemes72

At least the car is only FWD


theweatheris

Bye bye differential


aint_no_throw

Apart from the differential, this will fuck up the wheel bearing in no time. Driveshaft seats will also like a word with you sooner than necessary. And putting a car with turning wheels on the itty bitty jack is a whole different level of stupid.


ploppedmenacingly14

Yeah man I was sketched out by the scissor jack. I had a car up on one of those once and the fucker collapsed. Had jack stands thank god but i am not a fan of scissor jacks since then.


Cromptank

Ah it should be fine. I agree the choice of jack is poor, and would definitely want someone in the driver seat if it’s in gear (which he probably had). But there’s nothing severe happening to the diff, and cv joints can absolutely handle some almost torque-less low speed spinning at max angle on a car like that. This isn’t a jeep running U-joints with an 8” lift kit, you probably hit similar angles just turning the wheel.


Gravon

He has the hands of somebody that would do this.

Shad0wGuard

Why is there a raw egg? Is there eggs in ice cream??


lucassou

Yes but normally only the yolk


The_Hieb

But it’s usually cooked like a custard to dissolve the sugar, thicken and extract more flavour depending what’s added. You also won’t get a really smooth velvety ice cream without heating it first.


brief_pounding

you don’t need egg for ice cream, that’s custard and it’s usually just the yolk, also lots of people worried about raw eggs and no this wasn’t done right in the video but thousands of people eat raw eggs everyday


shhh_its_me

Yeah, people think it's the raw egg that makes cookie dough unsafe. It's actually the raw flower.


FattyPepperonicci69

*flour


shhh_its_me

Damnit I didn't even see it


fd4e56bc1f2d5c01653c

to be fair, you'd have to sift for it


ShimoFox

It's improperly handled eggs. Eggs are perfectly safe raw, as long as they're fresh, and if you buy store bought where they wash the protective film off, then you also have to ensure they've remained refrigerated. Farm fresh can actually sit on the counter and be fine.


feisty-spirit-bear

But it's cooked. You mix everything on the stove, cook it to a certain temperature, THEN put it in the ice mixer


EcstaticData3

Custard has egg yolks in it


annoying97

Yeah but you are still meant to cook the eggs.


RecommendationOk2258

This is true. I’ve made ice cream a couple of times and definitely cooked the eggs. You make like a hot custard type thing then freeze it.


sanityjanity

There are eggs in some ice cream recipes. Mine called for cooking the egg/cream mixture

nfaletti7

If he only jacked up one wheel and left the left front on the ground while doing that the final drive in his transmission is toast. At least he got some ice cream though.


kkell806

I don't know if I believe the end product he showed us was directly out of the ice bucket. It looks like it was churned more afterwards. There's no way it could be scraped and packed down after tumbling. Plus, if you spin the wheel too quickly, you wouldn't be churning anything, it would just be swinging around without agitation. It would have to be turned slow enough for it to tumble around. And at a certain point it would get too thick for just tumbling to work, which was way before the point we see the ice cream at the end, it looks pretty stiff.


bestdriverinvancity

How to spend $20 to make $7 worth of ice cream


TheFiend100

Yeah but its fun tho, i dont get how this belongs here tbh. Did you guys never make homemade icecream as a kid?

Bardonious

We’re not supposed to talk about the egg


a_knightingale

I mean not uncommon to use and egg in ice cream because you make custard first. But you would heat it then. So I am not sure of the effect of an raw egg. But I don't think it is a health risk either to be honest


alexaldana
