Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

As long as it’s actually designed to slope towards the drain, it’s all good. I have one of those “free with countertop purchase” sinks, and there’s absolutely no slope. It sucks. It also has square corners! So difficult to keep clean.

OP was talking about the water stream but yes those things are extremely irritating

If you're faucet sucks, then that's a real red flag.

Water should be coming out, not going in. I think you may have purchased a dental apperarus.

That must be super effective at removing hard stuff stuck to plates and utensils.

They probably have mineral buildup in their faucet.

I bought one that has this as a feature.

It makes a sphere then sort of converges at the end. You can’t see it well in the link. They cut off the shot.

[–] Demdaru@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

The fuck. It looks repulsive and intriguing at the same time.

[–] StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 months ago

Nah I think this is the design of It, they have a water softener system installed and my fiancee just confirmed its built that way

[–] Zamboni_Driver@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It converges around the middle and is diverging by the end.

[–] StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I mean if we're gonna get pedantic technically it converges about ¾'s through the stream

[–] winkerjadams@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Depends how far away you hold it

[–] StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

Overall horribly unoptimized system tbf

This photo is confusing the shit out of me... Besides having 3 tubs and the middle one being ridiculously to small, what's the interesting part?

[–] HexadecimalSky@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago (2 children)

The waterflow out of the faucet...instead of just going separately they converge.....

[–] Zoot@reddthat.com 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oooooh the water itself, I completely missed that thank you.

[–] HexadecimalSky@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

yeah took me a bit I though the tub was supposed to be oddly shaped, like a funnel or something, then I noticed the water stream.

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Which might defeat the point of a wider stream, at least the point of it for some people: that water doesn't splash all around after hitting the dish in a single concentrated jet.

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

There's a button on the side to make it spray.

The converging is really just a side effect of the spray function.

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Ah, like in a showerhead with adjustable width of the stream, where this would be some intermediate value.

[–] xia@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 3 months ago

Focus-fire forward...

What make and model? I want one!

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Oh, the famous parallels converging in infinity!
