I cannot comprehend why you would puke in a bowl, especially not a plastic one used for food etc.

Even if we ignore the gross aspects, a bowl is so impractical and such a high risk of spillage.

Why not use a bucket, like the mop bucket? I have never heard of this bowl thing outside of online memery.

We just took the bag of garbage out and used the bathroom trashcan for stomach bugs. It's small, can be moved right next to the bed, and wont ever hold anything not gross (unless you move -- and then it'll probably hold your sponges, brushes and cleaners). Also, in our house, everybody was expected to try to make it to the toilet, including kids. You start puking, you get ushered to the toilet with the trashcan held below you.

All of this makes sense because norovirus is super contagious.

Depends on the height of your bucket. Imagine a little kid sitting in bed. They need something low and lightweight. Our bucket was too high to be practical

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 2 points 5 hours ago

But you can hug a bucket with your knees and use its base rim to press into your stomach as you heave. As a kid, the proportions line up perfectly.

I'm with bobo on this

My parents always gave me cooking pots. Small to medium sized ones with two handles are easy to grab and easy to clean. If you need to "use" it repeatedly, you can just put boiling water in it in between uses

Well. I can personally vouch for it being a thing when I was a kid. Beats the hell out of a grocery bag.

I just went to the toilet. A couple of times, it hit me too fast so I used a trash can.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 5 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Used metal mixing bowels the few times I threw up as a kid. Wife used metal mixing bowels while we were married, I never threw up as am adult.

They hold a lot of liquid and can be cleaned with bleach.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 3 points 3 hours ago

"metal mixing bowels"?? Are you Robocop?

[–] Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 14 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Just FYI - "bowls" are the things you puke into, "bowels" are the things food never reached and therefore became puke.

I had just gotten home from 24 hours of conferences and delayed flights and spellcheck was no help at all.

I was perfectly happy letting this error continue, it makes for unintentionally funny comments all the time. And you had to go and ruin it
