Sometimes the drill is necessary, but imagine how infrequently we'd need it if there were robots in our homes that could do an immaculate job with the daily cleaning.
- ben_w 2y agoI have good news: https://www.amazon.de/s?k=electric+toothbrush https://www.amazon.de/s?k=electric+toothbrush ;)
- agumonkey 2y agoThey're indeed pretty incredible. That said I'm waiting for microcurrent brushes now.
- sva_ 2y agoWaiting for the toothbrush that brushes all teeth at once in about 15 seconds
- a_t48 2y agoThey also exist eg https://sonic-brush.net https://sonic-brush.net - but they aren't very good yet.
- moffkalast 2y agoThat thing looks like someone pulled it from the depths of the ocean.
- 8organicbits 2y agoHuh, you need to manually move that back and forth. I instantly assumed it would be electric. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0099/9525/5889/files/SonicToothbrushGIF_88445776-884a-4cd2-8396-c6e514c062d7.gif https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0099/9525/5889/files/Sonic...
- tssge 2y agoThat's a dropshipping site for AliExpress products shipping from China. You'll save money if you buy the product straight from AliExpress without a middleman in between. However as you said, the toothbrush doesn't actually work.
- a_t48 2y agoSorry, I just picked a representative example from Google. It was definitely not an endorsement.
- DigiEggz 2y agoIs there a general way to tell if a site is (likely) a dropshipping site?
- kotaKat 2y agoAlibaba has a "search by image" feature. It has been the BEST weapon to catch dropshipping. As a bonus, if it's on Alibaba, you can either A: order a sample direct cheap or B: find the product on Aliexpress and order that way for cheap, too. I love catching scams and flipping the tables to buy it myself at their own price if I think it's nifty. I built a homemade hot tub system around one of those "ice plunge" bath tubs that seem to be a thing going around these days. They're a rigid inflatable tub, but anyone selling them alongside a chiller sells the tub alone for $500-1000. I found the direct source (Shenzhen Gateo Sports - https://gateo.en.alibaba.com/ https://gateo.en.alibaba.com/) and bought one for $200 direct from the factory and love my unbranded tub. ;)
- tssge 2y ago#1 is the website ships globally with no restrictions. A lot of Chinese businesses ship to any country. A local business with their own stock generally won't handle shipping to every single country around the globe. Sure there are exceptions to this rule, but in general it works well as your first sign. Read the terms and conditions, privacy policy and other more "obscure" information like that. Dropshipping items always ship from China and returns are received to a warehouse in China. In their Terms of Sale, Sonic Brush mentions that it is rebranding the following product "We are selling the following brand mark : W-White.". So this would be the dropshipping product they buy from AliExpress.

- adrianmonk 2y agoI also want a laserwash shower that takes 60 seconds. It would save time, and I'm pretty sure it would save water too.
- deadbabe 2y agoWhy 60 seconds? You just need maybe 4 seconds of high speed mist and soap. Waste less water.
- adrianmonk 2y agoSome exfoliation is nice, but I would like to keep my skin.
- tzs 2y agoI've wondered if you could make something to floss multiple teeth at once. Maybe something that fits over a span of teeth such as all the top teeth and is custom fitted so that it fits on the same way each time. It would have holes that you can thread floss through so that when you put it on the floss ends up between the teeth. Then you can pull on the ends of the floss and it flosses between all the teeth that the device is covering.
- sarchertech 2y agoYou don’t want the floss just moving in and out between the teeth. The point of floss is to scrub the inside face of each tooth. So when the floss is between 2 teeth you want to press it against first one tooth and move it up and down several times and then press it up against the other tooth and do the same thing. There’s really no way to do that to multiple teeth at once without something much much more complicated.
- seoulmetro 2y agoI actually had this thought one day. Do billionaires waste time brushing their teeth? If yes, why? If no, do they use a solution that they just stick their face in and it brushes for them? That's what I'd do as a billionaire anyway. I wonder how I'd solve peeing...
- eru 2y agoThe billionaire I know even wipes his own butt. Shocking, I know.
- 77pt77 2y agoPlebe... The aristocracy doesn't even defecate. I've met one adult that believed this.
- prmoustache 2y agoHe should wash it, not wipe it. That is what the bidet is for. Wiping is gross unless you have bare depilated butt crack
- 8organicbits 2y agoWe should all be washing. A cheap bidet is $20, pays for itself almost immediately.
- eru 2y agoWell, I don't follow him into his bathroom. I mostly just know that he doesn't have his assistant do it.
- paxys 2y agoEven better news: https://www.amazon.de/s?k=dental+floss https://www.amazon.de/s?k=dental+floss
- __MatrixMan__ 2y agoI use one twice daily, but why do I still have to go to the dentist for cleaning? Wouldn't it be better to get a dentist-grade cleaning every day in the the same amount of time?
- ben_w 2y agoI keep hearing that dentist-grade cleaning is a not-strictly-necessary way for dentists to make money now that their core service has been 95% resolved by fluoride in water and toothpaste. Outside my skillset to comment on that claim, but I do keep hearing it.
- j_timberlake 2y agoGreat job, now they have Hepatitis B because Amazon sold them a used toothbrush that was returned.
- nox101 2y agoYou've apparently been scammed as those don't work. If they did we wouldn't need flossing nor visits to the dentist
- eru 2y agoYou are right that electric toothbrushes are not a complete solution. I wouldn't call them a scam. They are pretty decent at polishing the exposed surfaces of your teeth.
- elif 2y agoYea no. I use the highest end sonicare and my dentist still wants me to brush with a normal brush, floss, and dental pick daily.
- darby_nine 2y agoI imagine regrowing enamel is a preferable path for most people compared to something poking around their mouth multiple times a day
- lostlogin 2y agoYou’d prefer to cure the problem rather than prevent it occurring?
- darby_nine 2y agoI'm terrible at preventing it from occurring, and I don't see either a) a robot capable of dealing with me or b) my establishing comfort with said robot actually happening. So yea, I'd rather just introduce teeth that are more resilient to destruction than I am at constantly trying to fight the destruction.
- 77pt77 2y agoI'd prefer regrowing my own teeth, but that's just me.
- GrumpyNl 2y agoWont be a robot, just a rinsing fluid you have to use once a day that will remove plag etc.
