I'm 42. Why does this picture look older than me?

    I have the same model, lasts longer than most because its truly sealed, even the charging is magnetic rather than gold contacts.

    But don't leave it on the base 24/7, this helps the battery.

    Thanks for tip :) I've had the same model before, but it didn't last long because.. well, i lost it. Was pretty satisfied with it tho.

    i assume its the oral-b 1000 series, i have the teal one, which seems to be on sale a lot of the times. i bought the replacements heads on line, for pretty cheap, and good quality, albiet it being directly from a german distributor, so its slight difference in fititng, but it works 100%, it works better than the OEM american ones and last longer, these were not the offbrand replacements i bought, it was the official heads for the german variety.

    I've been trying to add more color in my life and not just automatically buy the black things.

    I bought some blue-green golf balls, partly because they were $10 off. But I'm wondering, if I lose them faster than the white ones, did I really save any money?

    I never really thought much about color for most of my life, then I had a kid. For as long as they've been able to kind of hold a conversation their default question to get to know someone has been "what's your favorite color?"

    My answer was generally blue because I'm male and that's a pretty generic answer for men, but once they got me thinking on the subject, I realized that all of my favorite things were green. My favorite shirt (to the extent that it's now basically disintegrated), my favorite watchband, hell, even my favorite underwear.

    So now my favorite color is green and, since the kid knows that, I have a lot more green stuff. It's very sweet that when they go shopping with their mom they see something green and automatically say "we should get that for Dad!"

    I see it a lot when I'm looking at second-hand phones on eBay.

    "Girly" colours like rose gold and sage green are always going for less than plain black.

    I like girly colours, so that's great for me :)

    Second hand tech is probably an anomaly though, because I imagine it's mostly guys who are buying used electronics and this skews the demand.

    I really couldn't give two shits about the colour of my phone, it's gonna get a case anyway. And that's pretty much the only piece of tech I have that even could have "girly" colours.

    I have the same one! Same colour. I bought it because it was slightly cheaper but also I tend to buy the most colourful version of anything because it helps me spot it and actually use it (ADHD, so if I don't see the thing at some point during the day, it ceases to exist)

    Totally undull, totally nsfw tangent

    Back in the day, electric toothbrushes were popular among the local lesbian population.

    Apparently, when modified, one could fit them into a strap rig and use them between other lips. I had one used to jokingly threaten me once. It was... intimidating

    I have something similar, same brand, different product. Toothpaste can get into every nook and cranny of those. Wash it well, before it dries and solidifies into a mess.

    That’s the least pink pink thing I’ve ever seen.

    Oh no, your teeth will never get clean. Pink products only work on girls. /s

    Good for you on saving money.

    I have a pink vape because its easier to spot in low light conditions.

    ... and possibly also because its funnier to have a pink vape to refer to as a 'nicotine nipple'.

    YSK it's super easy to just swap the battery on those. Mine was down to dying every 2-3 days. Got a new battery for 25 bucks, they're easy to find.

    The bottom of the charging base acts as the 'screwdriver' of the bottom of the brush. There are videos easy to find online too. Now it lasts 10 days again easily

    The manual says that when the battery dies you have to trash the toothbrush. That's false and misleading. If you open it, inside there's a simple rechargeable AA battery.

    I love not to let capitalism win over me (at the least I don't want to trash something that works)

    Hell yeah.

    Mine is green.

    A dull green, like the dull pink.

    It's gonna turn your mouth gay.

    Maybe it'll only turn it bi if you don't go for the back of the tongue every time.

    Shrugs Meh, there's worse fates, and hey, that's two extra bucks in your pocket.

    I bought that one! The heads were too expensive though so I had to buy a different one. Bloody waste of 40 quid that was.

    I have this model of toothbrush and it is by far the worst toothbrush I have ever used, electric or not, in all of my life, hands down.

    I hope you brush your teeth in the shower because the toothpaste is not going to stay in your mouth.
