I feel like toilet brushes should not be used to smear shit around and get stuck in the bristles. They should be used for scrubbing an unsoiled toilet. There should be another tool for dislodging shit and it makes me so sad people do this

You scrub while flushing a second time. Except if you live in Droughtifornia.

Letting the western desert states push federal regulation of water fixtures onto the rest of the nation was a huge mistake. There's no reason that the myriad of river supplied municipalities (who then treat and return that water so there's no net loss) in the east can't have absurd toilets with 20gal flushes and shower nozzles that exfoliate if you get too close.

Anyone can replace a showerhead in 5 minutes. The only reasons someone would complain about showering with a crappy showerhead is either because they're staying in a hotel (although most hotels don't even tolerate that shit), or because they're a complainer. Just don't be the dweeb who uses teflon tape.

Replacing it isn’t the problem, buying it is. Yes I’m sure you can find showerheads with illegal flow rates available online, but reputable stores won’t sell anything over 2.5 gpm anywhere in the US, and over 2.0 or 1.8 in the states that have those limits. Amazon won’t ship the higher flow rates into a lower flow rate state.

I didn't know "illegal showerheads" existed. I thought the Seinfeld episode was a joke.

Amazon does, however, ship showerheads that come with an instruction sheet for how to remove the flow restrictor. (One must only do this to compensate for one's home having low water pressure, of course.)

That's just spraying it around as aerosol. Try foamy baking oven cleaning spray. Dissolves anything away. Yay!

Bathroom air is full of poop particles. This is why I don't keep my tooth brush there.

Note that a restriction on commercial sales still does not make an item itself "illegal".

I'm not trying to ignore the frustrating activation energy of having to spec/get/install your own showerhead rather than automatically having a default you like. But it's clear that amount of market friction here is much less than say, the overt digital authoritarianism currently going on across the whole phone app/software market. And it's important to keep this perspective, lest memes about "illegal showerheads" morph into groupthink that supports different authoritarian movements.

What's wrong with Teflon tape? It stops minor dripping if you have older pipes with worn threads.
