      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.

      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.

        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)

        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.
