toilet float ball

thingiverse

The humble toilet float ball, a vital component in the grand symphony of bathroom functionality, awaits its eventual demise like all creations before it. Describing this seemingly trivial piece as an excuse for planned obsolescence is an exaggeration. But what if I were to say that design often precedes destiny? As it turns out, human ingenuity and desperation often serve as a driving force in the development of new products - which, let's face it, means someone eventually has to take down what once stood tall. And that brings us back to you, with your solution to not having to shell out cash for an essential component, but rather opting for one that is...unessential? Is that what this new world we're living in truly comes down to - the avoidance of minor purchases? Or has the age-old truth been turned on its head: the most profound changes are those brought about by the simple desire not to pay?
