    I have a car who used to jump onto the sides of the tub while I bathe… until the time she fell in.

    Thankfully she was stunned by her misstep on top of being a very calm cat, so I didn’t end up with a flurry of claws stuck in me.

      Your car should not be running around in your house. In fact your car should stand still in the garage.

      The water is at the overflow line. It’s in the middle of the circle. I doubt AI would include the blurry reflection in the silver as well

      Edit: the photo is from 2016. I’m sick of people calling everything AI on Lemmy and getting immediately upvoted despite being completely wrong

        Please remove the metal piece from your tub to examine it and the hole behind it. The metal part has a relief area at the bottom for water to flow into. Behind it is a hole that takes up about two third the diameter of the metal piece. Water will flow in not long after it reaches the bottom of the metal.

          Dude, this is a static picture lol.

          You know how this happens naturally? People fill the tub to just below the the overflow, shut the water off, get in the tub, and then immediately displace the water up over the overflow. Then it drains…slowly…until it’s below the line.

          If this was an image we could hear, I’d bet you any amount of money there was a gurgling sound in the background as the water slowly made it’s way down the drain.

          The trick is to get in the tub before it’s done filling, then you don’t waste 10+ gallons of hot water down the overflow.

            My husband does this, and the way the water slowly gurgles through the overflow is just. So. Annoying.

            We must rise up, those of us that get in before its full and turn it off before it hits the overflow!

              Yeah my wife does the same thing and it similarly drives me batshit lol.

              Its even funnier when she’s standing there naked waiting for it to fill complaining about freezing while there is 20 gallons of hot steaming water sitting right there in front of her that, for some reason, she feels she can not sit in until its up around her neck lmao

          We’re arguing about 2/3 vs 1/2? The original commenter was stating it’s AI because it’s above the relief area, and I was stating it wasn’t above the relief

          Edit: here’s my water relief valve. Looks pretty fucking close to halfway to me

          2nd edit: omg you ARE the original commenter. Why are you continuing to argue despite me calling you out homie?

          Mine can be rotated, so the holes could be at the bottom, but they can also be at the top. I keep mine at the top. Water will slowly drain once it’s about at the level of the metal, but it’s pretty slow unless the holes are facing down.

      AI would never generate an arbitrary detail like that curtain awkwardly folding at the right or the offensively plain singular bottle at the top left.

      And this picture is older than AI.

        Well we can assume some time has elapsed since the faucet isn’t running, the water is still, and the cat is standing on the valves.

      All these other people are completely right, but also I just took mine off and flipped it so that the holes were on top it gave me a solid two inches more water space. It was just two phillips screws.

        I do one better. I put a rubber flange in with only a smallish hole at the top for maximum fillage. I wanna drown in that tub.

      I don’t have a tub overflow in my apartment. If I fuck up its going on the floor

      Edit looks like its hidden in the drain control plate like that one. Thats at overflow level not past it.
