    This just in. Agitating heavy cream makes butter.

    Y’all just discovered something people have known for, like, 5000+ years.

    tl;dr - they run with zip lock bags of cream and salt and try not to get too warm, but it does all work.

    Alright, from the picture, I assumed they were squeezing cream in their hands during the run and the sweat was involved in the process. I am very happy that is not the case.

      Agreed. IMO, having butter all over her hands was the click-bait portion of the post.

    I remember making butter in kindergarten by putting the cream and salt into a little bottle and just shaking the shit out of it all damn day. By the time we went home, we had about half a stick of butter.

    That’s probably much less efficient than just using the machine that performs the same process though.

      It’s min-maxing. They already commit to the time for exercise so if they could be productive with it somehow why not? “Productive” here more of a 2 seconds of Internet fame than “this has general application”, but just like a daily commute being limited mostly to music/podcast/phone calls as far as being “productive”, if someone introduced the ability to prep dinner while commuting many people would take them up on it.

      It might not be the traditional or most perfect place or time to make “x” but if it buys you time elsewhere and there aren’t other consequences or side effectd, well everyone is pretty maxed out in the world and doesn’t have time.
