I know this is a shit post, but scribble dry erase marker over it.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 month ago

Hand sanitizer works great too!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (11 children)

This is the answer. Shit works so well I routinely just use sharpies to write on mirrors or windows when I need to. Any surface that's glass, metal, or in a pinch hard plastic if it's not going to sit too long. Come in later with dry erase. Fantastic way to leave notes on the mirror. Dry erase won't hold up to the steam in a shower if it's something that needs to be there for a bit, like an on going list, daily affirmations or some shit, or reminders.

China markers are perfect for this. I made this move a few years ago to mark my left overs in the fridge.

China markers come off when rubbed intentionally, unlike dry erase that erase with the slightest incidental rub.

Permanent markers can "bake" on in the dishwasher (as can dry erase) where China markers rub off.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

OOOH, that china. I was like what a peculiar name 😂

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Aka grease pencils but I've always known them as China markers.

My phone keeps auto correcting to capitalize China and I just am too lazy to fix it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I'll check these out! Never heard of em

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Rubbing alcohol has always worked for me too. May be easier to have on hand than dry erase markers.

Any alcohol like methanol, ethanol, isopropanol

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Other two much safer than methanol

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Methanol and isopropanol have super similar lethal doses if you're drinking them

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think I remember hearing methanol got most of its bad rep (over IPA) because it was commonly produced with the ethanol when moonshine was made by inexperienced people. During prohibition, people would go to these inexperienced distillers because of the low cost (or even try doing it themselves) and get sick.

It is also used to "denature" (make unfit for consumption) ethanol for industrial use to be exempt from alcohol taxes. Bittering agents are more common now though, especially when the product is consumer facing and the residue left by the agent isn't important.

You're not going to absorb enough to be dangerous using it to clean something like this, and if you're drinking the stuff, well...at least the methanol warns you before it kills you

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Alcohol or other solvents like Acetone work, but another easy trick a lot of people aren't aware of is to go over a permanent marker with a dry erase marker, and then wipe it off.

I shit you not, it works. We tested this across several whiteboards. First in inconspicuous spots, then on main parts of the board. Occasionally there was some residue remaining if the permanent marker stayed on for long, but the solvent they use in dry erase markers also erases permanent marker material.

YMMV on a tape measure though...

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Even though this is a dick joke, I'd use isopropyl or ethanol no higher than 70%. Acetone tends to strip/degrade paint and if on a plastic substrate could degrade the plastic.

Source: I work in an analytical lab for plastics and paints and I have made many mistakes.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Acetone will work if nothing else works, but it's just as likely to strip the underlaying paint off. You can mostly use alcohol to clean it and apply some acetone just on the actual stain with a qtip, that makes it less likely to be noticeable.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Itll work but...It's sharpie. I can take sharpie off a smooth surface with a kimwipe and elbow grease. Acetone is overkill and likely to damage your surface if it's paint or plastic yo. Use a less aggressive solvent. Also we've destroyed a whiteboard or two with acetone.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No but if you're looking to sell it, I need to do some measuring that it would be perfect for

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I'm surprised that someone isn't selling measuring devices specifically for the penis

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I recall a website from the web 1.0 days that sold rulers, soda cans, and other common everyday objects that were specially manufactured to be smaller than the actual object. The intent was to show someone your penis pic with an undersized soda can to make it look bigger.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I used to joke with a friend that we should start a business selling rulers that were inaccurate so that there was about 1/2 to 3/4 inch between the inch marks. We could have been rich

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I understand it with teenage boys, but I have always been fascinated with guys being so obsessed over how big their cock is. Seems to be common knowledge that women don't really care because it feels no different to them. You will rarely hear a women talk about one that was so big that it hit their cervix.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Or when you do, they talk about it negatively like "ouchie it was too big." Sometimes ppl do prefer a girthier hog though.

Just write the name of your coworker in between.

Gasoline, and if that doesn't work - Acetone

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Acetone might take the other markings off too. I'd try Isopropanol.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

Just go straight up brake-cleaner, take off the yellow as well

[–] gnutrino 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And if it still doesn't work apply a flame (may reduce reuse potential but will definitely remove existing markings).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

And if it still doesn’t work, apply a hydraulic press (may reduce reuse potential but will definitely be exciting).

Pre rat penis transplant

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

If you have a whiteboard marker, you can draw over it and then erase it. Works wonders.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Draw over it with a dry erase marker, then wipe it off.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

I was uh measuring the minimum radius of soft versus hard PC water cooling tubing. Yeah that tracks...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

I don't think it's going to be very useful to anybody unfortunately...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

This is why woman can't estimate length. They're shown 3" and told it's 6".

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Sometimes ethanol (i.e. rubbing alcohol) works.

If not, try acetone, same thing used to remove nail polish.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

That took me a while. My first thought was it was an ad hoc durometer gage for cushion foam or jello or something, but the scale was backwards…

Anyway. Isopropanol/isopropyl-alcohol/that-shit-in-the-medicine-cabinet will take care of it. I use it all the time.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

This is an amazing idea I love it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I'm certainly not impressed with the measured length at hard

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Toothpaste can work sometimes too.

They are called "permanent" for a reason
