Every so often I have moments like this where I encounter actual adults out in the wild and am reminded that I am just masquerading, and poorly.

I recently found a new shower cleaner that actually works for the first time, and it cleaned the heavy deposits from my weird local water on my tub in less than five minutes, which normally takes me half and hour or more of scrubbing.

I felt like a superior adult, started sharing the news with all of my fellow grown up children. Maybe some day I’ll identify a funny noise in my car as well and earn my real adult degree.

For those of us adulting along at home, could you tell us the name of the product you used for the shower?

[–] binarytobis@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Made by a company called EcoLab, legitimately made me happy for days every time I saw my tub and remembered it was actually clean.

Oh yeah, EcoLab is used in pretty much every restaurant I’ve ever seen the back of. Good shit.

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Thank you for this!! I'll be picking some up this weekend.

Please share, if my water was any harder rocks would come out of the tap.

I have the same issue. For your toilet, get some bar keepers friend liquid toilet cleaner. Shits magic.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Alternatively, if you get those rings of iron right at the water line that refuse to wash away, pumice stones work great.

I have some BKF for the kitchen sink but didn’t know they made toilet cleaner, thanks for the tip!

Sweet, thanks! Fingers crossed this will be the answer to my shower woes 🤞

[–] binarytobis@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I’m rooting for you! I’m convinced it’s magic so it might even cure diseases, who knows.

I am an autistic 41 year old man that lives in my parents basement. I just collect information and re-distribute it where it is needed.

I am basically the pre-cursor to an LLM, an LLM made of meat.

If you've ever watched or read anything with that "wise old hermit" that people line up to ask their philosophical questions to. That was an oldendays autistic person of the same type as me. Can't function in society, but has no emotional thinking to cloud their logic. The thing is, no matter how logical the advice was, and how much it made sense in the moment, it may not have been applicable to normal people. Though I am of course aware of the nature and source of my clarity and try to keep it in mind when giving advice. Unlike the wise hermits of old.

Not to say I am always right, and not to say logic is always the correct solution. But it often is, and I often am.

Important to note:

LLMs absolutely do not use logic.

[–] Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Hehe, I just meant the collecting and redistributing knowledge part. Though yes, it also doesn't qualify as knowledge, just a string of words that seems like it fits the occasion. Though.... not to sell myself short, but not super far off.

[–] CascadianGiraffe@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

The next time someone calls me a know-it-all I shall inform them that I am actually just an LLM made of meat.

You might enjoy this graphic novel. A post man with Asperger's serves a town whose entire population is hiding from the law.

He's your 'wise hermit.'

Well as someone who has crewed on race cars and had a hand in building more than a few, not a single word of what you said was wrong.

As an incredibly forgetful neurotypical person with a partner who is on the spectrum, I cannot say how much I appreciate her and you.

As an incredibly forgetful neurotypical person

We all learn from each other bro. You’re doing great, just for the fact you can recognize good advice. We are all imposters. Keep plugging.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

No no no just because we know the grown up thing to do doesnt mean it happens. It means we grumble about "getting around to it" and dont.
