Have you ever tried to empty your toaster of crumbs? No matter how much you wash the crumb tray and bang the thing upside down there are always many more

You are not wrong. :)

That’s amazing Smile

Just thinking about it is bringing me out in a cold sweat.

StealthPolarBear · 25/01/2018 14:40

Well yes. If I banged hard enough I could fill the universe with my toaster crumbs. And I only bought it in December.

Use the small attachment on your vacuum cleaner?

MedicinalGin · 25/01/2018 14:42

Yes that’s a good analogy. I split open a packet of giant cups cous about two years ago and I still find them rolling about on the floor to this day- I don’t think their number can ever be fully calculated.

When I think of infinity, I imagine it to be like the number of days I have to work before I die (not retire, that's never going to happen). It's all there laid out in front of me like a never-ending loop of groundhog days.

I read the title and thought “you can’t imagine infinity!” in a smug sort of fashion.

Then I read the op and I was wrong. Toaster crumbs is right. They are truly endless.

WickedLazy · 25/01/2018 14:47

Dog hair. Dog hair is infinity. No matter how much I hoover, scrub and wipe with rubber gloves, there's always more. And more. It's truly infinate. It baffles me that the one small-medium size dog I have, isn't bald by now.

My parents dog had pointy wars and there was always loose fur at the points yiu could easily pull out. No matter how much you pulled it would just keep coming.

Ears not wars. She was a sheltie of peace.

Laughing here.

Especially at pointy wars.
My imagination is working overtime.

Well the crumb tray has been washed and dried and back in so it would be nice to think the ongoing haemorrhage will stop.

Try knocking a teeny tiny glass of milk on the floor. Glass holds 150ml of liquid and is half empty. The resulting knee deep deluge of milk is a wondrous miracle. Your cat, having been yowling for your milk since you poured it, looks down her nose superciliously and stalks away, mortally offended.

JaceLancs · 26/01/2018 09:21

My car got broken into about 7 years ago - someone smashed the window to gain entry
I still find glass fragments when I vacuum the carpets!

Nancy91 · 26/01/2018 09:24

Agreed with dog hair!!!

MissMisery · 26/01/2018 09:25

'Shellie of peace' Grin

MissMisery · 26/01/2018 09:26

'Sheltie' even 😬

"cat, having been yowling for your milk since you poured it, looks down her nose superciliously and stalks away, mortally offended.".
There's a theme emerging. Animals and the infinite realm. They know what's what

Crumbs on the kitchen bench as well. No matter how much you clean the benches the crumbs are still there. Try going down and looking them at eye level. It opens up a whole new world of never ending crumminess.

The number of nits in DS hair. Comb through for an hour and as many coming out on comb 100 as on comb 1. Fourth treatment in 2018. Mind boggling numbers Confused

EduCated · 26/01/2018 10:55

Confetti from the confetti pipes I bought for NYE 2015. Still vacuuming it up, and we’ve bloody well moved house since then.

Hmmalittlefishy · 26/01/2018 12:20

Pine needles

Just don't tell dh I will be finding them for months as I had to convince him we had to have a real one
