You can remove sharpie by writing over it with a dry-erase marker and then removinging by rubbing it.

You call usually also use isopropyl alcohol, but you may remove more than you intended.

So dry-erase first and then go nuclear with iso if the marker didn't work.

[–] anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Tried the iso and now my dick is removed...

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Maybe don't buy your packer off of Temu?

[–] don@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wait, have them buy another and see if it happens again.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The results would double the sample size and better support the conclusion.

[–] don@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

While this is true, I really just wanna see how many times he’ll do it again.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Having repeatable results is important to establish.

Drawing over it again with the same sharpie works too if you wipe it quick.

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Found this out in school when someone wrote some less than acceptable words on the board in permanent marker. The teacher scribbled over it with drywipes, waited a few seconds and wiped it away.

They said it was because essentially drywipe marker is a permanent marker with solvents.

Coming from a non-American, an inches-only tape measure is incredibly cursed

[–] xionzui@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

As an American, I was a bit flabbergasted when I looked through all the tape measures at the store, and none of them had a metric side

[–] kn33@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I found one when I looked but it was a bit spendy cause it was fancy in other ways. Still went for it cause I want both units.

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 1 points 1 week ago

The rest of the world thanks you <3

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

As a Canadian I hate it too.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yeah, a good chunk of the ones available here only have inches, too. It was hard to find one with both when I bought my last tape measure.

As an American engineer I agree

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's how I feel about Celsius being for everyone.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago (3 children)

even though I know it's literally the best option, my pea sized brain goes "wait? 30° is hot??"

[–] DankOfAmerica@reddthat.com 4 points 1 week ago

30°F is beautiful when you have had a few -10°F days. The difference between 70°F & 30°F is the same as 30°F & -10°F.

110°F - If I don't get A/C soon, I literally might die.

70°F - It's so nice, I'm going to open the windows.

30°F - It's so cold there's ice outside. Look, snow!

-10°F - The snot in my nose is frozen. I can't feel my fingers and they hurt at the same time.

-50°F - I didn't expect seals to make that noise.

Even more cursed if those same markings where on a CM calibrated scale.

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Fractional metric for the win

[–] fallingcats@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah, fractions of 10 that is.

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Those fractions are barely readable and I'm not even dyslexic

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

That's a tape for the new guy on the crew so he doesn't look like a dum-dum. Until the crew sees his tape anyway.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

I have one that measures in feet and inches, so you can only see it's 9'8", you have to do 9*12+8 in your head.

Toss it in the metal heap at your local recycling centre. With the archaic units, it's unusable anyway.

[–] Tabula_stercore@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (2 children)

How retarded do you have to be to have the fractions written out on the entire measure

[–] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Retarded enough to not use the metric system.

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I still don't get how they can live with such a retarded measurement system.

Then I see who they elected as a President and I understand everything.

I still don’t get how they can live with such a retarded measurement system.

We can't.

Scientists do everything in metric, but that's where it stops.

Food industry tries to label everything both ways, so we all get some minimal exposure; but this is like expecting to learn French in Canada just by hanging around. Machinists cope by using thousandths (of an inch), but still have to translate to work with standard screw dimensions. Bakers do everything at multiples of cups or pounds, so fractions don't really come up. Housing framers use, maybe, down to the half or quarter inch and have easier to read tape measures for this; story-boards and tick-sticks are used to avoid measuring entirely.

If it wasn't for raw materials (across the board) being sold in nominal empirical sizes, I would sooner just use the metric system.

Meanwhile, the home kitchen is at war. Recipe books have everyone else dicking around with all the crazy fractional volume and weight measures. Either you're a virtuoso with these, or you're terrible at it and burn every meal - there is no middle ground. This might explain our relationship with restaurant food.

It's not like erasing it'll make your dick bigger 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Actually nipples

Just cut the tape that the 4 inch mark and then add 4 to all the inches on the tape. Fixed.

[–] phx@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago

Found Elon's Lemmy account...

This was on Reddit 2 weeks ago and I answered magic eraser.

People are desperate for upvotes here too.

[–] ryan213@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago

Show off...

[–] don@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

Deodorant will get it off.

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

Magic eraser (melamine foam).
