i almost got punched by a lesbian when i suggested they clean their bong.
Yeah but did you buy one of these candy bars?
What does them being a chocolate bars have anything to do with anything here ?
What does race have to do with anything?
? Sexuality
No he was saying they’re from Lebanon
Or maybe the Isle of Lesbos.

Homo would never do that to you. Homos are your homies. They keep their shit clean.
No doubt. I never actually saw their bong.
Wow am I glad you stated that this person was a lesbian, I might not have understood the situation otherwise.
The world is a diverse place; the sooner you accept that, the sooner you can enjoy it.
Imagine thinking a casual descriptive noun has deeper meaning when in a neutral context.
If they had said something derogatory it’d be different but talk about a leap.
The question is: why would you add this description if it’s completely unrelated?
By specifying this attribute, the commenter wanted to draw attention to that fact, that this was a lesbian. So, why exactly would that fact need attention? Best case it’s completely irrelevant, more likely it’s supposed to be some sort of weird bragging or simply an underhanded insult.
I just read it as storytelling. Many people add details that don’t matter in the end. It just adds to the story so it is easier for the reader to imagine it.
Like how George RR Martin spends PAGES on the food in Westeros and how it was cooked and prepared. The food description has nothing to do with the story, but it added to the story.
Sorry I replied to the wrong comment
Sorry but this is a terrible comparison imo. Sexuality is not a useful descriptor and adds no “flavour” to the text. Even describing their skin colour is better because that’s a physical attribute that you can at least imagine. You might as well tell me their blood type they have, it’s a completely useless descriptor in the context of OPs “story”.
I’m not even on a high horse here, I don’t really care that OP brought up their sexuality, it’s a weird thing to do but not particularly offensive. All these comments spinning narratives about how it’s a useful descriptor are completely baffling. Y’all are performing some mental gymnastics for absolutely no reason.

That’s just, like, your opinion, man.
i almost got punched by an aquarius when i suggested they clean their bong.
Is that preferable? I didn’t ask them their birthday and I don’t actually know what an aquarius is.
All these comments spinning narratives about how it’s a useful descriptor are completely baffling.
oh which comments?
Dude I don’t really care, if you thought it was funny that’s fine by me. Aquarius is just as useless as a descriptor as lesbian.
It was definitely bragging.
I am very proud that I interacted with a person regarding the unknown state of their paraphernalia.
Or or or. It’s a descriptive noun thrown in for no reason because sometimes humans just do that.
I don’t know a single person who hasn’t given unnecessary details when talking about literally anything.
No problem, I can be less descriptive. I hear all people love brevity.

it was funny tho, no hate.
I’m so tired of cleaning.
One of the reasons I tend to prefer dabs. Much easier to clean the piece after
Only cleaner if it lowers your use, but yeah. Dabs are meh compared to quality flower imo so I tend to run bud vs concentrate.
Squirt of iso, swish, drain. If you do it regularly instead of waiting, you don’t have to do much at all.
Oh believe me I know how to clean the stuff and have about a million tricks to get it done quick and easy.
When your use is extremely high it doesn’t matter that you clean your pieces daily or multiple times a day.
I also find it depends on the piece too. I have some that gunk up super quick after a few uses, and others that take a ton of abuse and rinse out easy. My beefeater gin bottle is like that right now and its great
Certain pieces definitely gunk up quicker, especially with aggressive percolators.
I prefer to have several pieces in rotation, so I don’t have to clean as often but when I do clean I clean several pieces at once. I’m sure some people prefer the exact opposite but that’s what I have found works for me.
I do all of that as well but still have to clean multiple pieces daily. A first world problem for sure.
Hey thats my bong!
Not sure if it’s different now, but 15-20 years ago that’s how mine and all my friends’ looked. You could start with a clean one and it would be dirty as fuck like 3 hr later. We would just change the water a lot but only clean them every week or two.
We preferred buckets. All the stoned, for a portion of the effort. Force that in your lungs.
You ever have a bubble bucket?
I have not?
Not heard of one?
I came up with it years ago, its the only way to have buckets.
So you cut your bottle like normal, then you grab some hose, melt a hole in the lid and poke the hose out with enough room to fit a piece in, then screw that into the bucket, you want to cut the hose so its about an inch above the bottom or when you get a nice smooth bubbling.
You get the big hit of a bucket, but its way colder and smoother.
A highly detailed blueprint:
Very cool. I appreciate the drawing too.
Sadly, I think a bucket would kill me these days, plus I’m 34 days off the weed as I lack self control.

Fuck yeah good work.
Do you smoke nicotine?
Yeah but that is the last thing for me to quit. I have quit quite a lot of substances over the last 3-4 years so it’s been one at a time.
This is a gravity bong. We made them with 2-L soda bottles in a 5-gal bucket (what can I say about our fucked up measurement system, I’m American).
A gravity bong here is like a 600ml bottle with a hole burnt on the bottom big enough to let water through but still be covered by a finger or thumb, slow stead y stream pulls, kinda like a travel bucket.
I almost got punched by straight guy for suggesting he clean his bong

lol
It’s a bong. Weed has resins. It will do that while being used. Your majesty doesn’t have to use it if they think it’s not clean enough for them.
You know, food has salts, sugars and fats. They leave deposits too but I don’t see people eating from plates varnished with ancient food.
Or just squirt some rubbing alcohol into it and give it a shake every once in a while. Cleaning your bong isn’t hard, and if it has gotten to this point it makes me question how clean you keep everything else around you.
My bong is never this dirty and I literally use it 24/7 lol gotta get a flower vape attachment and it rinses clean with hot water.
I can only suggest to use isopropanol (not sure whats the english word but i think you guys will know). The good industrial stuff with high purity. You literally only need to fill you bong with like 100 ml, shake it around a little, rinse with it water afterwards and it will clean as fuck. I just cleaned my bong for the first time after many years and it took like 5 minutes to have it look new again.
I’m American and we also call it isopropyl alcohol but another common name for it here is rubbing alcohol (which is essentially a mixture of iso and water)
I’ve never needed anything more than that either. Tried plenty of gimmicky products back when I smoked but it never really made a difference. At best an additional abrasive but you can do that yourself as well if it’s truly necessary.
There is a limit to how much iso or ethanol can do in my experience. Even the good stuff needs help.
Honestly just throw an abrasive in there along with the iso and that will bring those tricky spots to the finish line
That smells like a dare… Would you drink that for 100 bucks?
