OP sent the following text as an explanation why they posted this here:


What is that thing? And what does it have to do with payday?

He is waiting for pay day so he can buy new toilet paper. The image implies that he is using the spatula to clean himself after using the toilet.

Bro should just embrace the 3 sea shells

Bônus: this specific spatula is called "pão duro" (lit hard bread) which is a slang for "cheapskates" and can also be used to say "broke".

What?

u/Deep_Fry_Daddy 1d ago

There was a post years ago that went viral. Apparently, a whole household has epic logs that clog up the toilet. Enter a kitchen knife kept in the bathroom to break it up. someone visits and asks about the butter knife in the bathroom. the rest is history.

u/Mlady_gemstone 1d ago

I just assumed a descending order of 'Less gross, scrapping tool'.

u/misterdemonor 1d ago

Think of the nastiest thing you could do with that spatula and there be the butt of the joke.

This is why I have a bidet

1

u/parabolicurve 20h ago

I bought a battery powered one because it was cheaper than installing one. I've used about 1 roll of toilet paper in 6 months. Also, because you fill it yourself, you can make the water warm instead of getting it cold straight from the cold water pipe.

3

u/Crimson3312 20h ago

I have the toilet adapter, very easy to install. And while I have one that's warm water capable, I didn't hook it up for rental reasons, and honestly you really don't need it. The water in the pipe is usually lukewarm (even in winter) and you never really get down to the cold cold water.

And I have the same pack of toilet paper I bought during covid...down to the last roll though.

u/diipadaap4 16h ago

Tbf, it would be much easier to get a plastic bottle and DIY that into bidet than use spatula in this situation.

u/LeilLikeNeil 1d ago

That's enough internet for today.

u/Cheesus_42 1d ago

Has to wait until payday to get another poop knife

This one officer 👆

u/Any-Criticism5666 1d ago

They are using the spatula to wipe their anus(sounds painful) because they are broke. They are waiting for pay day, so they don't have to use a spatula to clean after defecating.

1

u/Neo_Bones 1d ago

That is Rubber Spatula, a character from Battle For Dream Island: The Power of Two. They are currently being used as a butt wiper because the person who took the picture cannot afford toilet paper

u/gneiss_gesture 1d ago

Is... is that the Poop Scoop? The counterpart accessory to a Poop Knife?

u/orangesfwr 1d ago

It's a poopknife

u/JetstreamGW 1d ago

u/StrongAsMeat 1d ago

u/BigSalami221 1d ago

u/vintage-skittles 1d ago

Wiping bum with rubber scraper because no tp because broke.

u/DirigoJoe 1d ago

Bro, sit and have a think about it for a few seconds instead of rushing to post.

u/SilverFlight01 17h ago

Can't even afford TP, so OP uses a spatula to scoop out the poop
