Same except opposite. Sponge is for dishes, brush is for glasses and mugs. Easier to sterilize the sponge, though. If someone knows a brush that can go through the dishwasher, I'd love to know about it!

All dish brushes I've ever seen/tried can go through the dishwasher. Of course a brush doesn't need to be "sterilized" to the same extent as a sponge since the plastic bristles don't exactly soak up poo poo.

Bit late on the suicide chat, but I was informed of the best method and it's now my standing plan.
1: Find tall building with roof access in busy area. Think downtown.
2: Measure rope to approximately building height - your height - 7 feet.
3: String piano wire on roof. Or better yet, some sort of high speed cutting machine. As long as it's thin.
4: Tie rope around feet. Put superglue on hands.
5: Attach glued hands to head underneath/around the cutting surface.
6: Throw self off building, neck to cutter.

If properly executed this should cleanly slice off your head, send you hurtling off the building, and stop you at the perfect height for your detached head, now in your outstretched arms, to be at some poor bastard's eye level. Maybe even still blinking or whatever.

Classic comedy.

I hear this dumb joke repeated from a completely different source every year or so and kinda wonder where it originated. Some comedian? Anarchist's Cookbook? Someone actually did this? what's the deal here?

According to an inflation adjust I found online, $7.77 wasn't that far off from what $50 is today. So I guess they did.

Speaking of thrift stores and tag sales, I can't believe something like that exists when glassware is like a buck a pop at any given thrift store or probably even less at the average tag sale.

Honestly, "buy stuff secondhand" is probably the granddaddy of all lifehacks. If there's anything I need, the Good Will by me is the first place I look. Excluding underwear and hygiene stuff, of course, though I have scored a couple bottles of really nice perfume with like, one spritz missing. Just find a nice store and check it regularly, you'll be amazed what you find.

My greatest hits:

Le Creuset cast iron skillet: $5

Wacom tablet: $10

Yves St. Laurent sweater dress: $2

Set of rad 70's sci-fi looking cocktail glasses: $4

Solid cherrywood dresser: $40

Dior sunglasses: $5

$400 Rebecca Minkoff bag: $5

$600 Cole Haan bag: $5

In short, I can look (and smell) like I have far more money than I actually do, it's pretty neat. I honestly can't remember what I did for stuff before I moved into a neighborhood with a Good Will around the corner.

I did some community service at the local Goodwill and it completely ruined any goodwill I had for the place.

Anything that is even remotely nice is put on a special shelf in the back room. It is never made available to the local poor people. Instead it is sold on the Goodwill website for about 5-10% below the retail price of a similar NEW item.

Any clothes that are out of season are immediately thrown away or sold to upcyclers who will knit them into a $75 pair of mittens to be sold on Etsy. Any electronics that they don't think will move quickly have the cords cut off. All of this poo poo gets compacted. If you do get caught dumpster diving there you will be prosecuted. They don't want any of that poo poo but you sure as hell can't have it either. gently caress Goodwill forever.

Any good finds are simply a result of the sorters' ignorance, they should have put those expensive handbags and designer scents on the special internet shelf.

A FUCKIN CANARY!!

I hear about great finds at Goodwill but every one I've actually been to has been nothing but clothing priced higher than it was new and SUPER expensive furniture and electronics.

The last time I went to the one nearest me they had an SNES (no box, console and cables only) in a display case for $299.

I have heard stuff like that, and yeah, it sucks. The one by me is a "Surplus Store", maybe that makes a difference? Either way, the ladies who work there seemingly didn't get the memo, and I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.

This is internet bullshit and is debunked every time it does the clickbait rounds on Facebook. The stores function in order to turn a profit, yeah, but that's because they need to actually have money to spend on the charity programs that are the reasons they exist.
