    Had a really bad nose bleed once in the shower.

    I thought it was fine and sort of blew my nose a bit, and a huge clot came out. I had to waffle stomp it.

    Any device to help would have been appreciated.

    Really really bad idea plumbing systems for sewage and for wastewater are different in some countries and this could cause a lot of issues not to talk about the fact that the pipes for your shower are most likely way smaller than the pipes for your bathroom making them more likely to get clogged even if you waffle stomp it.

      Well Belgium obviously developed their system for it from the ground up, while the rest of us are stuck with bad design decisions that result in the clogs.

    They should make a device that removes the need for waffle stomping. Like, maybe a separate fixture without a grille and with an aperture large enough to allow the solid loaf to pass straight through. Maybe integrate some kind of support to allow the user to comfortably assume and hold a squatting position. Oh, and a cleaning feature to wash the contents away.

    When two completely separate sources collide to form a coherent end result I find myself amazed.

    Essentially, 90% of what is being said in the text comes from a reddit thread where a user tells how his wife once scared him shitless by blurting out, while watching television, laughing histerically, she would regularly take a dump in the shower, then proceed to stomp the result down the drain. The user had been noticing the drains had been somewhat clogged lately and had made a passing remark about it to his wife.

    The “waffle stomping” came from another user replying to the thread and I’m sincerely amazed how no references to “hot boxing” or “power bombing” are sprinkled in, as many users made references to how steam/moisture intensifies scents and smell, the reason which the wife had picked up the taste for scented candles.

    I came into contact with this story through a podcast that extracts posts from various reddit subs.

    To find a direct reference to it, here, through an AI allucination… I’m baffled.

    Turning off the internet for today, folks.

    I’ll see myself out.

      To be fair this is kind of an interesting example of how something that is obviously wrong can actually work and also make long-term damage so nice

    I literally cant tell if this is edited, if Google is being dumb, or if people 200 years ago really used the term.

      Given the “how to use a Belgian waffle maker” vid, I think this is a plausible hallucination - I bet the waffle was invented (or the word waffle started being used) in Belgium 200 years ago. Or maybe the Belgian waffle maker was invented 200 years ago?

      From Wikipedia:

      Florian Dacher formalized a recipe for the Brussels Waffle, the predecessor to American “Belgian” waffles, recording the recipe in 1842/43

      Maybe that? Now I want waffles.

    Is it weird, that I knew what a waffle stomp is before reading the post? Have I done too much internet?
