you don’t, most of the time is not needed. if it is, a sencond lighter flush with the brush thing will take care of everything that is still there. with a controlled flush you just let some water run.
Just think about all those public restrooms with like 8 toilets in a small area, all of which have no lids (not like anyone would put them down anyway) and use those super high pressure flushing mechanisms!
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !nostupidquestions
Correct, Covid facemask does nothing to help with gasses. Op should use extractor fan and ventilation. Additionally: the acute dangers of gas-stoves are highly exaggerated. With proper ventilation there’s nothing to worry about.
I agree with you about the surgical masks but I’m not sure that the risks of carbon monoxide can be overstated.
There have been a number of families recently in the US that have died of CO poisoning due to the lack of CO alarms. If you have natural gas appliances, definitely keep CO alarms around the house.
A few years ago we were looking at putting in a whole house fan, and one of the risks is, if you don’t have proper ventilation set up, you can pull CO into the house instead of it ventilating like it’s supposed to.
There are definitely risks but you can mitigate them with CO detectors/alarms.
It’s possible that the N95 masks with their electrostatic charge might manage to intercept charged molecules but my chemistry is failing me as to whether NO2 or benzene would be affected.
I think the phrase down the rabbit hole is actually referring to Alice in Wonderland. But.
I would say the organism that tends to burrow the deepest into the Earth is humans. Average oil well depth appears to be around 5,964 feet (1818 meters), that’s pretty deep. The deepest hole we ever drilled is supposedly the Kola Superdeep Borehole dug by the Soviets, it was 40,230 feet (12.2km) deep.
Oh, that’s a fair point on both counts, I should have specified non-human organisms. Still, we’re apparently really good at digging deep holes, so that’s fun!
A species of fig (Ficus, family Moraceae) from the Transvaal of South Africa was determined to have roots reaching at least 122 meters - source, google fu
I only know of earthworm that they have been found up to 7 meters deep. But the rabbit hole thing is definitely not about the depth but about Alice in wonderland and the strange things you might find down there.
That sounds like some pretty dedicated earthworms! Also, as noted in another comment about the Alice reference, that’s a good point, albeit I guess one could say it’s about more of a figurative depth than literal given the curious places they go!
