I don't mean what you use to chop down your feces, but an object that you realized only your family has and people would raise their eyebrows at. Best if said object has a sole purpose.

No where near the poop knife, but people are weirded out that I use a power drill for dishes. I don't have a washer and the drill dose things a rag could never conceive of.

They use a special bit for dishes. The dish bit destroys the dishes so you never have to clean them again!

But not the one fate had in mind

Is it something like the Drill Brush? https://www.amazon.com/Drillbrush-Bathroom-Surfaces-Scrubber-Cleaning/dp/B01MRLZ43B. I have some of those and haven't tried them on dishes, but they work great for cleaning grout.

Aren't you worried about getting the drill wet?

[–] Sabata11792@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep, everyone is some how freaked out over water damaging a $20 drill. It's 12v, I can lick that voltage if I wanted. The only down side is splash back at full power.

By "aren’t you worried about getting the drill wet?" I was more concerned about damaging the drill. I guess it makes sense you'd use a cheap drill for it.

I sometimes use the drill for the hand cranked coffee grinder when I'm late and forgot to grind coffee the night before.

To be fair we own a coffee grinder but we use it for grinding dried chillies.

After an earlier Lemmy/reddit comment, im buying a second electric coffee grinder for Dried Mushrooms and Chillis.

What is this poop knife everyone is referring to

[–] Longpork_afficianado@lemmy.nz 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

An old tale from reddit about a family that kept a butter knife in their toilet to dismantle the larger logs so they wouldnt block up the bog when flushed.

OP got a reality check when a friend using the toilet enquired about it and discovered that many people do not have a 'poop knife'

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

No, no, it was hung in a closet. They shared it between multiple bathrooms.

[–] DickFiasco@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Something to chop up a large and/or stiff poop so it will flush properly.
