Did you ever hear of the channel S.V. Seeker? Honestly my favourite bit of niche internet drama, I can’t even begin to list the crazy shit that went down but basically a madman with zero knowledge of sailing let alone boatbuilding welded together an ill-conceived hulk roughly according to the plans of someone who is himself a nutter; misadventures on the way include pouring a lead keel and poisoning the topsoil if not himself, faking an explosion and resulting traumatic brain injury to learn who his ‘real fans’ were, and creating possibly the scariest boat I’ve ever heard of which no doubt will end up on the news one day having becoming a hazard to navigation.
Anyway he’s the first person I ever heard of using a poo knife. He was openly advocating the practice, as well as a ‘poo nest’ to prevent splashback.
That’s normal in sailing boats to be fair, you want a keel made of something dense and lead remains a decent choice for that, it’s more expensive than iron but offers more weight for the same hydrodynamic drag. Stability in a sailing boat requires a counterweight to the wind trying to blow you over.
What’s not normal is trying to pour many tons of the stuff in your backyard in Oklahoma as an amateur. Also ‘hydrodynamic’ or even ‘stable’ are not words I’d associate with Seeker.
This what I came here looking for. That story haunts me every time I go to the bathroom at a friend’s house for the first time. I’m just waiting for the day I see a knife next to the toilet.
I just feel like, and maybe I’m misunderstanding the usage instructions here, but if you have to use a knife to scrape poop off your behind… you should probably see a doctor about changing your diet.
What kind of religion requires a diet that creates logs that need to be manually broken up to flush? I know US style toilets are more prone to blocking but that seems absurd to be so common.
Dog think it’s the consequence of diet it’s just ideas of cleanliness or it’s the tool they traditionally had before toilet brushes were invented (I’m spitballing here)
I’ll never forget about the guy on reddit who talked about his poop knife 😳

A… Lead keel?
For something that is supposed to float?

Well, that’s a rubbish name… but you can’t deny the logic behind a helipad.
Helipad? You mean the stink diffuser?
Good god — part of me wants to learn more about this guy and a very large part of me doesn’t.

I knew a poop knife family. They had 10 kids though, that might have had something to do with it.

Its not to scrap it off your butt… but to cut it into smaller pieces in the bowl…
No…
I am not making that up…
Oh my god 😳
Some older toilets can clog up from having too-small passageways. It’s a thing lol.
lmao, thanks for making my night.
Apparently super common and a religious thing.
Never thought I’d feel so warm towards a toilet brush before I read that story.

That was so long ago, and still to this day pops into my head.
Though I had no idea it was a religious thing! That’s news to me, though I’m not sure I want to Google and learn more about it.
