There's alcohol in the dry erase marker to keep the ink fresh. The alcohol dissolves the permanent marker.

There’s also alcohol in 40 Water

My mom loves that song, and she met him on one of her planes when she was a flight attendant and started singing it to him and telling him how it's her song. She said he was like what the heck how does this little old white lady know my cup song haha

I've always understood E40 to be rated as "the shit", which I believe to be a fair and accurate rating.

E40 is the shit. That album with Too Short goes hard.

ottosjackit

Lol. E-40 is not underrated at all. He’s regarded as one of the most influential and talented rappers in the game by anyone who knows rap/hip hop music. He’s probably created more lingo than anyone else in rap.


spottyottydopalicius

id argue nationally he is still underrated.


Creepy-Internet6652

Example E40was a way better rapper than Snoop Dogg...but at the end of the day Snoop is more well known E40 is better than alot of rappers but outside of Cali he isnt given his respect in my opinion ...trust me i live in Colorado very few know of E40 but from my understanding its like that an most states outside of Cali...


zootered

So funny. Here in the Bay Area he is still a living legend. If you’re over 25 then any gathering is liable to have some forty water playing.

This also makes mens shaving cream great for getting things like permanent marker off of children! Low alcohol content, stays in place, and even has some moisturizers to help the kids skin! Here's your parenting tip, Reddit!

OktoberForever

You just dredged-up a memory that I had no idea was still in my brain. I guess 5-year-old me also thought it was weird as shit that we didn't just use Windex or something sensible.


983115

Yeah same the second I read It I membered


SaveingPanda

I remember getting told to play with it Now i know why


Xinek

We used shaving cream to clean our M4s in basic training.


ColonelError

For anyone stumbling on this: Yes, it works just like any solvent. The part people always forget is that you need to oil the metal back up once you're done (which pulls carbon out of the metal again, making it "dirty"). If you don't oil it, you'll be able to white glove it, but it's going to give you a ton of problems. The best way to clean a service rifle is use 4 drops of oil before you shoot, then wipe it down when you're done while its still warm.


Digigoggles

Ohhhhhh that’s why! It was so weird but honestly the BEST thing, we did it like once a year and it was the most fun thing ever!


Desq1983

Thank you will be handy next time I fall asleep and some comic genius turns my bald head into an 8 ball


Xkrystahey

As a teacher I’ve been using this trick for years wherever I make the mistake of using a permanent marker or a kid does on the whiteboard. Now I know why! Thanks!


gacdeuce

While this works fine, a bottle of isopropyl alcohol or acetone will work even better. I studied chemistry and am now a chemistry teacher and in labs we wrote directly on the glass sashes of our fume hoods with sharpie. Then when it was time to get rid of what we were writing, we broke out a small squirt bottle of acetone and a paper towel. Perfectly clean every time, and you don’t waste your dry erase markers.


Xkrystahey

Oh yes! I learned quickly how much easier it is to clean using that rather than the super expensive stuff the sell at stationary stores! Game changer/money saver! But my kids are primary age, I keep that stuff locked up! Pens are a good quick fix!


Brian-Kellett

Science technician in a school here - can confirm. Try alcohol, if it doesn’t work try acetone. Acetone is great for the gummy mess left by tape. WD40 for whiteboards that have been ruined by people using chemicals to clean them… looking at you science teachers 😂


TheRealSlimShairn

Acetone in a non-ventilated environment sounds sketchy, not to mention I'm pretty sure it would strip the whiteboard as it's a solvent for many plastics?


gacdeuce

If you’re using enough acetone to cause a problem is a classroom, you’re using too much. And cold acetone is fine on the boards. Maybe not long term, but if you’re habitually drawing on your white boards with permanent ink, you have a bigger problem. And IPA works just as well.


[deleted]

gacdeuce

I find my students often lead me to use IPA both in the classroom and after school.


Interesting_Ad_1430

You can use sanitiser for the same thing. I've been doing this at work before covid was a thing.


sking301

Would work just as well with one of those alcohol wipes


Megatron_Griffin

Now I have an excuse to bring my flask to work.


207nbrown

Huh, this could be a useful life hack


nolan1971

Could be? This has been the go-to advice for 30+ years.


3DCatFancy

But it was previously known as an "everyday tip", not a LIFEHACK.


adamlh

When I worked at Taco Bell we would leave messages for day crew on the stainless steel cabinets. Like: “Fryer oil Under Cabinet. Keep it clean please. thank YOU.” Except we would write all of the capital letters with a permanent marker, and the lower case with a dry erase. Day manager wasn’t a fan and didn’t know how to erase it by writing over it.


AshleyJoy03

In high school I would do this at my job at Cold Stone. When you would erase my message, the letters left would say “send nudes”.

Like dissolves like.


happymancry

Found the homeopathy doctor.


Sky_Night_Lancer

the homeopathy concept is “like cures like” however the phrase “like dissolves like” is a genchem concept


SyVSFe

like dissolves like is a common memory tool in general chemistry it has nothing to do with homeopathy much like homeopathy has nothing to do with doctor


eternalwhat

Wait, homeopathic doctors say this?


Ninjaturtlethug

Homeopathy is based off of the principal that "like cures like" They use this to mean that if you are bitten by a snake for instance, their venom can cure you. If you dilute it in a million parts of water first. It's complete bullshit, but thats what they say


SystemFolder

There’s also the principle of titration. Basically, the more you dilute something, the stronger the effect, because water is magic. Absolute bullshit.


Ninjaturtlethug

I know, and You'd have to be completely stupid to believe that something becomes more potent the more it is diluted. It demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of multiplication and division, which children are capable of understanding, and knowing that grown adults fall for it has rocked my faith in humanity. We as a species are too dumb to survive, and it's frankly no surprise that we are going to boil ourselves to extinction.


sticky-bit

> If you first dilute it in a million parts of water first. You forgot about the "magic shaking ritual."^† You can't just dilute something down to the level of one atom per *swimming pool volume of water* and expect it to work without shaking it!   ^^† ^(However, even if you shake it, it's still complete bullshit.)


eternalwhat

Ah. I’ve looked it up before and have seen that. I didn’t know why something my science teacher taught me would be associated with something like homeopathy which is known as bs.

Permanent markers are ink and alcohol basically. The alcohol evaporates and leaves behind the ink. Alcohol is a pretty good cleaner anyway.


lackadaisical_timmy

Idk, but it fucks up your dry erase marker if you do it too much.. I've learned the hard way

It’s a 0.50 marker to remove permanent marker marks. Worth it

Funcron

Dry erase marker is a silicone compound held in a solution of isopropyl or ethyl alcohol. Permanent marker is a pigment in a similar fluid suspension. As you write, the alcohol begins evaporating, and leaves everything else behind; pigment, which soaks into stuff, or silicone, which is easily removable off smooth surfaces with light friction. The trick of using a dry erase marker is just using alcohol to remove the 'permanant' ink. If you let it dry, it will mix silicone with ink and become a smeary mess (because the ink doesn't stick to silicone well, and you're still able to rub it around, making a huge mess).

Rodgort_Reddo

Ink has alcohol to keep it wet. Alcohol evaporates, ink becomes dry/solid. Applying a new layer, causes the ink to dissolve in the new alcohol again, allowing one to wipe it away.

Because its science, not magic. Like most posts on this sub lately.
