A couple days because I just replaced it. Not just the head, the whole thing.
The head - a few months, the body a decade.
@rtjhnstn I’m glad you got a new head.
Mine is old-school non-electric, bought long ago when they still made the ones I like, and still in use because they stopped making this design. Harrumph!
@werehatrack Same here, exactly!
I don’t know; can you carbon-date it for me?
@phendrick No, actually, if it was made after 1950. Nuclear weapons testing has ruined Carbon-dating for the future.
@phendrick @PocketBrain i’ve heard carbon dating for the past can be wildly wrong and off-point too. So it’s usefulness is meh anyway
@mbersiam @phendrick @PocketBrain Check out low-background (radiation) steel.

@blaineg Interesting; thanks.
How is it that “Toothbrush Head” is not actually the name of a British punk band??
@shahnm Wasn’t that Marvin the Martian’s nickname?
@rtjhnstn @shahnm Marvin is a Roman.
@blaineg @rtjhnstn Yes, but he a eventually a goes back a to his a home-a…
@shahnm I thought it was a David Lynch sequel.
Everybody should get head from time to time.
@PocketBrain Even lonely toothbrushes.
Literally changed it two days ago. But I still use the old fashioned manual brush.
My toothbrush gets new head about once a month. Occasionally it goes wanting for head a little longer. Poor toothbrush.
Just changed it last week bc I was done being sick
electric? meh. manual? a couple of years, at least.
