I've had this on my bookshelf for a long time and finally picked it up. The concept / satire is interesting, but the execution was a little tedious.

More of a thought experiment than a novel a I like how it started as a social satire and then kinda gave up

Very strange, but highly thought-provoking. A classic mindbender.

skibidi toilet: a lore drop of many toilets.
Bro actually turned his shower ideas into a story. Too much lore, they're literally just shapes. I do respect the new perspective (HAHAHA GET IT IM TOO FUNNY) he gives on how dimensions function, especially in a time when research in this area was fairly primitive.
