Thankfully water falls from the sky and our residential use of it barely amounts to a single digit percent compared to industrial and agricultural consumption of water. Unfortunately some regions charge residents way too much for it and have the gall to try to convince the populace that reducing personal use of water will have any meaningful impact. All so they can get back 0.1% of the total water used so they can spend a few more minutes watering lettuce they’re growing in the desert.
I used to keep one on my keys back when I worked at a carrier store selling phones. Made life so much easier then.
In fact, the actual inserted part broke off years ago (and I haven’t done phone sales in over a decade), but the main part of the body is actually still attached to my keyring. I haven’t even thought about that until this post, actually.
The dude who sold me my latest smartphone this year had one long fingernail. I kinda thought it was a coke nail until he applied my screen protector and used the nail to separate the plastic backing from it. Aha!
I studied classical guitar in high school and since I could never keep my real fingernails intact I always had three plastic nails going on my right hand. That was a tough one to explain to the local bullies.
This post makes me feel like we’ve come full circle. All the way around and back to the 2010 9GAG era of memes. Don’t get me wrong, though. This makes me nostalgic. It was a simpler time…
Seriously. 2010-ish reddit was a great fucking place. If I start fucking seeing novelty accounts, I’m fucking out of here, to some far-flung instance with a militant mod.
There were accounts on reddit that just made a running joke, or something to that extent. For instance, once guy was shittywater colour, and he’d draw your comments if he liked them. While he was actually one I didn’t mind, he’s the first example that comes to mind. most of them were dogshit and didn’t add anything worth while.
No. Sr. Grafo posted his own comics, then made comics in the replies to people. Shittywatercolor did as his name says to random comments in any thread.
It is funny because he will randomly pops up and write a super compelling explanation for a question/discussion, and then the last line will have that signature move. It’s a blessing to catch him in the wild.
I loved seeing comments from shittywatercolor, poem for your sprog (or something like that), unidan before his fall from grace and the undertaker because it usually caught me by surprise
There were a lot of others that were very boring and I would block them on RiF
Schnoodle is one of the things that I miss from Reddit. Not enough to sign back in, but those poems did make me smile and even shed a few tears occasionally.
It took me reading your comment to realize the person above was talking about an account that did shitty watercolor and not shittywater color. I was very confused
Memes are going through a cycle similar to art I feel. We started with just basic memes of text on random pictures. Then we got really good at those and we started making meta memes. Then we started contemporary memes: memes that challenge what it even means to be a meme (b and big chungus). And now we are tired of contemporary memes and moving back towards basic memes.
It would be a wealth of social information. Political events, economic crisis, the views of the common man of the time, all have been represented through memery. This is, in a sense, a journal of opinion with a wonderful look across spectrums. They also encapsulate humor, showing where it has and hasn’t changed across generations.
Sure, a massive chunk would be highly irrelevant, but it’s still a solid look into part of a wide culture.
The price made up for itself in 3 months in my house lol.
The wife hated me when I got it too, but at least I don’t have paint bubbling walls anymore and they aren’t taking $1 showers every day twice a day. Don’t forget to turn off your bathroom fan to get it extra warm and humid then close the door after getting out and still not turn it on…
Being able to shit in the nice toilet is a nice side bonus so people aren’t hogging the good bathroom for an hour at a time.
Check your state’s website for free LED bulbs, shower heads, air sealing, even furnaces if you’re low income.
Who the hell showers for 6 minutes or longer? I get wet, turn of the water to soap up and then rinse myself. The whole thing takes like 5 minutes. And the water is on for half that time. You people have issues.
It’s because they get distracted like above or just use it to ‘relax’.
Tubs really need to be larger so people can lay in them. Even then, it still takes about 15 gallons of hot water to submerge someone. If I ever get even marginally richer, it’ll be one of the first things I do. A properly sized tub you can lay down in. Making your knees hurt from having to stay bent or having your entire torso stick out of the water sucks.
People shit on Shower bath shower, but Faye had the first 2/3s right. Get the quick gross shit off, plug the drain. Let it fill while you shower then fill the rest if need be. The water will stay hot longer and you can actually lay back and relax.
Edit: The main thing is people feel like they use less water when they shower. But it does nothing when you stay in that long. Seeing a tub full of water is way more visceral. I just invite people to plug the tub next time you start showering and see how much you actually use up in those 30 minutes.
Most low flow shower heads are 2.5 gallons per minute. It’ll only take about 15 minutes to fill your tub enough to submerge yourself.
Meanwhile women also like their showers at roughly the temperature of the surface of the sun to scrub away all that self imagined sin and yuck so it’s like 3:1 gallons hot to cold vs 2:1 for normal people.
It helps to use more than one type of soap (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, face wash) and then also have to shave your lower extremities. I have an exfoliation cloth I use that I don’t get quite clean without. I’m pretty sure that’s not even a high maintenance routine when it comes to women.
Easily 15 minutes for me, 30 if I take time to enjoy (distract myself with) the warm water. That’s not counting all the stuff I do after the shower. I have pretty bad ADHD though so time tends to melt away for me in general.
Sorry mate, best I can offer is less frequent showers and keeping an eye on the dirty bits a la mila kunis and ashton kutcher. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ my hair doesn’t tolerate daily washing anyways.
