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

[-] Get_Off_My_WLAN@fedia.io 37 points 3 weeks ago

Hand sanitizer works great too!

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 5 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 weeks ago

I'll check these out! Never heard of em

[-] Lenny@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 weeks 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.

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] Coreidan@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Uh can’t you just use the reminder app on your phone?

[-] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

How would they use the reminder app on their phone to write on their mirror in permanent ink

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

No, you write on your reminder app in permanent ink. Duh

Have they tried checking the App Store?

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 weeks ago

I ignore most notifications on my phone, other than like active shit, like phone calls. Most notifications are turned off, and I'm not in the habit of actually reading notifications. It's better for my mental health not to rely on them. I use older school methods for most shit.

[-] ryannathans@aussie.zone 41 points 3 weeks ago

Any alcohol like methanol, ethanol, isopropanol

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 3 weeks ago

Other two much safer than methanol

[-] ryannathans@aussie.zone 13 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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

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

[-] Tyfud@lemmy.world 21 points 3 weeks ago

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...

[-] 5oap10116@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

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.

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

[-] Mickey7@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] TRBoom@lemm.ee 21 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[-] Mickey7@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago
[-] RattlerSix@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] Mickey7@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks 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.

[-] BlackLaZoR@fedia.io 14 points 3 weeks ago

Gasoline, and if that doesn't work - Acetone

[-] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] Thorry84@feddit.nl 16 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] gnutrino@programming.dev 4 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] pennomi@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

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

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

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 8 points 3 weeks ago

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

Pre rat penis transplant

[-] imposedsensation@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 weeks ago

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

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

[-] MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@fedia.io 4 points 3 weeks 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.

[-] improvise3020@ani.social 3 points 3 weeks ago

Acetone - Nail Polish remover

[-] 5oap10116@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

It may strip the paint. Better off with isopropulyl/ethanol. Sharpie doesn't require something as aggressive as acetone .

[-] Mickey7@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] COASTER1921@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago

This is an amazing idea I love it

[-] beccaboben@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Toothpaste can work sometimes too.
