Here’s a strange question that you probably won’t answer, but thought I’d try anyway. Due to the election in the USA, my family has made a vow that if Trump wins. We’re moving to Canada. So my question is this, where in Canada would be best to settle, we know nothing and while I’m sure you don’t know everything you still know more than us.
I think it depends where you are and what your family likes. I think where I live (Montreal) is a great place to be, it’s a bilingual French/English city, second largest in Canada after Toronto and also cheapest metropolis. But there’s the French “issue”, it’s a bit like having Europe in North America. ;)
Toronto is cool too, albeit a little expensive.
Vancouver is GORGEOUS but VERY EXPENSIVE.
If you’d rather live in a rural area, I don’t know where is best. :/
I never needed to add water, but I started rinsing the toothbrush first because I realized a bug could have crawled on it in my absence.
Some people run the tap for the entire time they’re brushing, which I first learned of from conservation tips that suggest “save water by not doing that.” Really, why in the world?
I did it this way – by default – for years. Then one day, I said the same – why? And switched to wet-first-only – like others have said, to soften the brush.
I wonder if it got to be a standard thing to do when all bristles were natural ones, so wetting *did* soften them. Now, since 99.9% of them are synthetic, it’s just “the way to do it”, even though merely wetting them *won’t* soften them. I do start with warm water when the weather’s cold, but just mash the toothpaste into the bristles before brushing to keep it on/in.
Odd. Nobody ever told me to do it like this. Just wet the brush, add toothpaste and go.
Come to think of it, why wet the brush at all?
…
Wet the brush to soften it.
this is the best way to do it
i have no idea why
i also turn off the water after wetting the brush, then toothpaste, turn on the water, wet the paste, then turn it off again
guess im strange i just toothpaste and go no water needed.
That is a question I ask myself all the time. You’d just wash the paste down the sink. You only need to wet the brush once to start the lather.
I do the same thing! If I don’t, the toothpaste is harder to brush around and it makes my mouth dry. There’s nothing wrong with doing this method :)
I just wet it after I put the toothpaste. I think it makes more sense that way.
I’m guilty of doing this at certain times.
Dangit sam! I was done with asking myself why i do it, now it will take a month or so to get over it again!
Wet the bristles to soften them -> toothpaste -> tamp the toothpaste down into the bristles so it doesn’t fall onto your tongue immediately.

If Trump wins, you won’t find anybody up here when you move, because the entire world will move to Australia, where Trump will never, ever find us.
There’s plenty of places Trump won’t find you! Just… try to put ocean between you and him.
I would suggest Manitoba. There are jobs and the Hydro doesn’t cost as much as Ontario…

BECAUSE.

I read this comic a year ago and -no joke- haven’t wet the brush since.
I can now say my comic has changed people’s lives
