Make an edible cup by wasting two perfectly useable plastic cups, plus lots of gelatine and expensive ingredients.

I’ve posted the stupid flavour pouch things on this thread before. This is like a whole compilation of pointless edible stuff.

I was watching The Office and it was an episode where they were playing with a bailer and bubble wrap. Well a friend of mine who works in a warehouse with a bailer started telling us a hack they do down there for drums that need disposing, they use the cardboard bailer as a giant can crusher to make them easier to throw away.

It's only a little dangerous but it works I guess?

See this is interesting because in classic life hacking you take garbage and uselessly/dangerously dress it up as valuable. Here you take your valuables and dress them up as garbage, for good reason. I don't know what to call this. I have no words.

It kind of reminds me of something my sister did. When she and her husband bought their house, they found some ancient wooden ladder left behind in the shed. He was gonna throw it out, because it wasn't much good to use as an actual ladder, but my sister insisted on keeping it. She cleaned it up a bit and then hung it horizontally on the wall, using it as a sort of shallow shelf for photos and small keepsakes. It's bizarre in theory and pretty much everyone thought she was nuts for doing that, but the end result is actually pretty nice.

Literally anywhere in the civilized world. I have never seen a plunger outside of American TV, movies, and mangas. (I did see one in a French manga from the 70s so I guess they might have poo poo plumbing too, or at least had :shrug:)

I've never been in a janitor closet. Back when I lived in a block of flats, I was investigating the cellars (because I had just moved in and was trying to find the bicycle cellar [there wasn't one]) and opened a door and the janitor was in there in a tiny tiny room reading a paper and I guess that might've been a janitor closet? Didn't see a plunger there anyway.

If I want to clog a toilet with massive poos I have to go on the ferry to Stockholm. Marine toilets commonly work via the siphoning method.

So like do they not sell them at the dollar store for you guys? Because I got mine there when I moved in and I've used it on the sink more than the toilet and it takes like 10 seconds to remove a clog versus wrapping the thing in plastic and then pushing it over and over.

I've never really had a clogged toilet. Once or twice when I've had the shits I've used too much paper in one sitting and then you just have to wait a few hours for the paper to dissolve so it'll flush properly. The sink clogs sometimes since I do occasionally shave but you just screw open the SMELL TRAP* underneath and clear out the blockage (while wearing rubber gloves unless you're disgusting). The question wasn't about whether people would rather use cling film to clear a blockage but where would you find a household that has cling film but not a plunger, and the answer turns out to be "a lot of loving places".

*) I'm sure there's a real English term for it but I prefer the direct translation

My worst toilet experience was stopping in a public toilet for a dump, then finding my poo poo was too big and wouldn't flush. loving low flow toilets. I was there for around 10 minutes desperately trying to get it to flush before I gave up. When I stepped out of the stall there was a staff member there, who wordlessly stepped up to the toilet and started dealing with it.

He'd obviously heard my lamentations of "JUST loving FLUSH YOU FUCKER".

My old job was a daycare ran out of a church and someone clogged the toilet after Wednesday night service bad enough they had to snake the drain. It was the women's so I assumed it was some old person flushing a pad and the toilet saying no. But who knows.

I used to clog the toilet every time I took a dump but I live in a literal 3rd world country and also only do it two or three times a week so they weren't very mild thus I don't think I can be used as an example

Waiting for a few hours? Pfft. The real pros dump some dishwashing powder in there and let it work its magic, then flush. If you don't mind the smell (or clogged it with just paper like I did once), pouring hot water in there speeds up the process even more.

Source: my parents house got these fancy Swedish dual-flush toilets back in 2002 when it was remodeled and they have a hopelessly small diameter pipe, which leads to comparatively easy clogging. Still requires a lot of paper to clog em, but far easier to accomplish by accident than a regular toilet.

Toilets in Ukraine were a trip. Most buildings still have tiny, lovely old Soviet pipes that can't handle toilet paper so unless you're in a nice hotel or some sort of up-scale place built within the last 15 years, there's gonna be a small basket nearby for used tp. Toilet paper also generally isn't on hand in bathrooms accessible to the public, so you learn to keep it on you. Some public restrooms, which use squat toilets, have an angry and/or resigned babushka attendant that can sell it to you in a pinch though.

Lifehack: be an oligarch or hanger-on and live an upper-class first-world lifestyle in downtown Kyiv or Odesa while 90% of the population stagnates in third-world poverty due to corruption and war in what should be one of the strongest economies in Europe.

I'm moving to a new apartment, and I'm gonna miss the toilet in my current one. It's the only toilet I've used over a period of time that I haven't managed to clog.
