The limescale in our upstairs toilet (neglect by the previous owners) is so thick that my years long efforts to remove it have merely sculpted it into a tiny mountain range. If any life has taken hold in there I’m technically toilet god now.

@tripplehelix I’m mostly down to the stalwart holdouts below the waterline and dilution is a serious problem.

@tripplehelix been doing it with a toilet brush - I’ve never taken a big enough shit to warrant owning a plunger 🤣🤣

@tripplehelix certainly the least awful thing the toilet brush has seen in there 🤣 Even took a craft knife to it, but it left marks. It chipped off in flakes you could pass off as a breakfast cereal.

Tfw you fall asleep to some just barely comprehensible maths video and YouTube follows on with a four hour primer on quantum physics which you awake to snippets of yet remember nothing concrete from 🫠 … wait a minute … is that a knowledge superposition?

Internet finds a rock singer who can belt out Adele pitch for pitch and goes wild... what&#39;s next, finding a prog synth artist who can play the piano? Or The Sound of Silence cover by David Draiman? 😆 Feel they need to watch more &quot;vocal tutor listens to Serj Tankian for the first time&quot; videos, cos rock and metal has some goat vocalists.
