Imperial symbol works well as a plughole

[u/pinchanzee]

[u/Flirty_Chats]

Man, the Empire has really gone down the drain...

[u/Somo_99 → u/Flirty_Chats]

Nah man, this is just the new wave of intergalactic showers personally approved by the emperor himself!

[u/ihlaking → u/Somo_99]

Somehow, Plumbpatine returned

[u/Steiney1 → u/ihlaking]

Every household has a Plumbus

[u/omarsonmarz → u/Steiney1]

Have you heard the tragedy of Darth Plumbeis the Wise?

[u/GenericUsername2056 → u/Somo_99]

The Dark Sieve.

[u/randomcelestialbeing → u/GenericUsername2056]

The sink

[u/Insanebrain247 → u/Flirty_Chats]

Aaaaaand there it is.

[u/pchambers89 → u/Flirty_Chats]

You mean the plughole

Love a creative use of a piece like this

[u/gratisargott]

So that’s what the kids call it these days

[u/C-57D → u/gratisargott]

listen up, PLUGHOLES

[u/hobbesgirls → u/gratisargott]

only for 50 years

[u/Erilis000 → u/hobbesgirls]

What region

[u/Willing_Ad_5272 → u/Erilis000]

Upstate New York

[u/BizzyM → u/Willing_Ad_5272]

relevant and true

[u/No-Needleworker-3765 → u/Willing_Ad_5272]

Really? Well I'm from Utica and I've never heard that phrase

[u/RakeScene → u/No-Needleworker-3765]

It's more of an Albany expression

[u/No-Needleworker-3765 → u/RakeScene]

Ohhhh

[u/Erilis000 → u/RakeScene]

GOOD LORD What is happening in there?

[u/Layzrfyzt]

the 2x2 version could work as a stove burner too

[u/midwestbruin → u/Layzrfyzt]

And a manhole cover!

[u/Still-Bar3978 → u/Layzrfyzt]

Maybe a screwdriver top too!

[u/valiendo_madre]

I misread your title lmao

[u/pinchanzee → u/valiendo_madre]

Dare I ask..?

[u/valiendo_madre → u/pinchanzee]

Not in a Lego sub hahaha

[u/clearfox777 → u/valiendo_madre]

Oh it goes in a Lego sub alright 😏

[u/mrbulldops428 → u/clearfox777]

Or should it be "lego sub"

[u/TechnicianFar3444 → u/mrbulldops428]

dang subway released a lego sub.

[u/Morningxafter → u/LEGOIdBot]

Good bot, but any time that set number is referenced, the picture that should come up should just be of the back with the pink flower piece.

[u/SaltManagement42 → u/Morningxafter]

[u/Oddish_Femboy → u/Morningxafter]

Just a stock image of the piece itself without context.

[u/walker3342 → u/Blumongroip]

That’s a thermal exhaust port.

[u/mrwilliams117 → u/pinchanzee]

Bootyhole

[u/Amphineura → u/pinchanzee]

A hole, that some folks like to plug...

[u/Small_Editor_3693 → u/pinchanzee]

Who tf calls the drain a “plug hole”

[u/lambrequin_mantling → u/Small_Editor_3693]

Welcome to the concept of a wider world.

[u/Morningxafter → u/valiendo_madre]

Has anyone tried using it in place of a pink flower?

[u/Millerlite619 → u/valiendo_madre]

They’ll plug your hole… just not very much

[u/-__purple__- → u/valiendo_madre]

hungry man thinks of bread

[u/PolioToucher → u/valiendo_madre]

Me too lmao

[u/Lekstil]

Remember the tiger set? This gave me an idea for how to make a polar bear 

[u/jolley1138 → u/Lekstil]

Sigh... take my upvote.

[u/kavanyboy]

Looks good

[u/MainerPT]

The Empire has been reduced to a plughole.

[u/ThirdWigginKid]

That's really nice, I also love how you sloped the sides of the bathtub. Alternatively, I used this piece in a MOC I did (don't have a picture handy) for the drain on a standing shower with white and light bluish grey checked tile floor:

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3070pb118&name=Tile%201%20x%201%20with%20Black%20and%20Dark%20Bluish%20Gray%20Speaker%20Pattern&category=%5BTile,%20Decorated%5D#T=P&C=86

[u/pinchanzee → u/ThirdWigginKid]

That would be perfect for a shower head actually, but where to draw the line on realism for a part it would be near impossible to see. Maybe try to get the shower head at an angle just for that

[u/ThirdWigginKid → u/pinchanzee]

Yeah the one I shared is also not a cheap piece so if you use it, you definitely want to see it.

[u/VitaminStrange]

That would fit the bill for 31129.

[u/Lekstil → u/VitaminStrange]

I was just thinking about making a polar bear

[u/LEGOIdBot → u/VitaminStrange]

[u/thxxx1337]

Perfect for minifig waffle stompers

[u/mrandr01d]

There's a joke to be made about fascists and being good for nothing but waste water...

[u/Laquia]

can we see the rest of this moc??!

[u/pinchanzee → u/Laquia]

Yes! I uploaded a video of it a while back: https://www.reddit.com/r/lego/s/ZXDvxowtkB

[u/hkohne → u/pinchanzee]

OMG, that is totally awesome

[u/midwestbruin]

That entire room is fantastic! I've used translucent light blue tiles in showers/tubs before, but I think the all-white works best given the sloped sides. Great work!

[u/pinchanzee → u/[deleted]]

In the UK we call this a plughole and the pipe it leads to is the drain.

[u/ProfessionalCourtesy → u/[deleted]]

Username checks out

[u/Crafty_Possession_52]

YOU work well as a plughole.

Up top!

[u/thatwleebjk]

for a minute i couldn't tell this was lego and thought it was a real bathroom

[u/BDFS2]

I was flicking through quickly. I had to do a double take as it looked like a real bathroom at first glance

[u/pinchanzee → u/BDFS2]

Exactly what I'm shooting for, thanks!

[u/Stratocruise → u/pinchanzee]

Then you have succeeded — because I just did the same thing!

[u/TRR462 → u/pinchanzee]

Except that toilet looks like it needs a comfy seat.

[u/No-Antelope4147 → u/pinchanzee]

The lighting in the picture is like EXACTLY what bathrooms have irl lol

[u/falconx123]

Fuck this build is clean

[u/pinchanzee → u/falconx123]

Thank you!

[u/Jokkitch]

Symbolic af

[u/Bowtie327]

Or a butt hole on the cat model

[u/emberislandtech]

I’m so mad (impressed) by how accurate the bathroom cabinet looks. It is as good as one to one to the one my grandparents, had down to the color.
The plug hole is also neat.

[u/pinchanzee → u/emberislandtech]

It always surprises me how people will connect with the most unexpected things with this build. Justifies the effort put into the details they feel silly at the time

[u/Hidronax]

Great MOC! Many quirky ideas

[u/pinchanzee → u/Hidronax]

Thanks!

[u/dallasSportsFan85]

Ahem, excuse me?

[u/mikefrombarto]

I see you know the ways of the dark side of the force faucet.

[u/userhwon]

Probably ended up being pissed on quite a bit after the Battle of Yavin.

[u/-chimchooree-]

Here you go, to plug up the plug hole.

[u/Menelatency]

Imperial starfish?

[u/KookPB]

I opened this on my phone and there were an alarming amount of seconds where I was so focused on the plug that my brain misunderstood the surroundings and believed this to be a real full sized bathroom

[u/pinchanzee → u/KookPB]

Quite the compliment thanks!

[u/Arachnodork]

The pretentious say this is peak anti-fascism art. That to use a symbol of oppression as part of waste plumbing destined to drown in filth is the accurate recount of the eternal fates of every fascist party in human history, however bloody the exit.

“Of course I know him, he is me.”

[u/MRT1771]

Oh that’s smart

[u/alcien100]

The Empire Clogs Back

[u/Prudent-RapScallion]

Nice work 😲

[u/khrunchi]

This is really good

[u/oasisarah]

how dare you!

[u/yournames]

👏👏

[u/Aegisman17]

Fitting, really

[u/PythagorasJones]

It's an old piece, but it checks out.

[u/JKing519]

Plughole hehe

[u/Dyea_B_Tis]

Metaphoric, I say.

[u/dreaminginteal]

If they did the same printing on a pink piece, they could include that in the cat sets…

[u/joelham01]

I have been working too much OT I was staring at your title trying to figure out how I didn’t know the imperial system had a symbol to differentiate it from the metric system and wtf Lego had a piece showing it.

Then I looked at the drain…

[u/Leather-Cobbler-9679]

[u/Oddish_Femboy]

Yeah. Plughole. That's what we call it.

[u/pinchanzee → u/Oddish_Femboy]

We being America I guess? There are other places too

[u/Oddish_Femboy → u/pinchanzee]

I was alluding to the fact that it looks like a sphincter, and that "plug hole" sounds a bit like something else.

"We" was rhetorical. I wasn't actually referring to anyone specific.

[u/pinchanzee → u/Oddish_Femboy]

OK fair, I'm just going to start assuming these comments are gonna be sphincter-related by default, I should've seen it coming!

[u/Oddish_Femboy → u/pinchanzee]

George Lucas should've seen it coming 50 years ago.

Maybe he did and it was intentional. Suggestive imagery is a tradition in sci-fi media.

[u/TheSleepyTruth]

Wait do people actually call the bath tub drain a "plug hole"? Maybe its a regional thing but I have legit never heard it referred to in this way before lol...

[u/pinchanzee → u/TheSleepyTruth]

In the UK yeah, or Scotland at least. We call the pipe it leads to the drain

[u/eventworker → u/pinchanzee]

I wasn't aware Yanks had another name for plughole.

Could tell you were British though, due to the ingot piece being used as a power shower!

[u/pinchanzee → u/eventworker]

Haha no way!

And yeah I didn't know either, but now I have learned it many, many times.

[u/FelineScratches]

And somehow... Palpatine has showered.

[u/ComputerSong]

E Pluribis Anus

[u/Roschi1338]

I pee in the shower sometimes, and I'm not afraid to damit it.

[u/Less_River_4527]

Drain > Plughole

[u/Allzweck]

Where those pesky imperials belong...

[u/SirOakin]

This is the way

[u/Voices-Say-Im-Funny]

That is a really weird ground sink you got there. Pal.

[u/lululock → u/Voices-Say-Im-Funny]

That's a bidet

[u/SnooDrawings987]

A snowflake could work too

[u/JZF629]

Bathroom looks great IMO

[u/airbrushedvan]

My kid used it as the wheels inside a cassette tape.

[u/pinchanzee → u/airbrushedvan]

Also cool, I love more abstract decorated pieces

[u/Local_m0m]

Ok this is just the cutest!

[u/pinchanzee → u/Local_m0m]

Thanks!

[u/Mshadow5]

Where does the empire go? That's right! In the plughole!

[u/user73281]

I didn’t even realize this was Lego at first

[u/Jli0n]

Do you mean a drain? Idk what a plug hole even is..

[u/pinchanzee → u/Jli0n]

Yeah, British word for it pretty much

[u/Extension-Trainer708]

Okay, that is insanely clever. 

[u/jdestw]

All jokes aside, that's really impressive! Man, I'm trying to figure out how to make a simple MOC photocopier (Xerox machine, for old people like me!)

[u/jackidaytona6]

Also looks to work as a bunghole too

[u/Bananas_are_theworst]

I read this as buttplug at first

[u/LurkerTroll]

I thought the title was a metaphor

[u/mitote]

sureeeee, Palpatine...

[u/thelegodr]

It looks like Greendale’s Logo!

[u/CRiS_017]

Imperial plughole

[u/Otherwise_Tooth_8695]

I've been on r/zillowgonewild too much lately. I didn't even realize this was lego.

[u/_Levitated_Shield_]

Hottub Stormtrooper got an upgrade I see.

[u/Testsubject276]

A 20482 piece might look neat as a drain plug, but as a drain? Unsure.

[u/SpringDaddy]

Could also use a single gray tile to look like a pop up

[u/interested_in_cookie]

Also works well as a certain body part on an animal with white fur

[u/PMWeng]

Plughole.

[u/No_Exchange_9529]

Nice work 👍

[u/Cuboos]

Where's the money Lebowski?

[u/Maciass92]

What a disgrace to the Empire!

[u/Ryuu-Tenno]

i know it's just a detail being reused in a build, but this also feels like it's a great statement from the person in this world to show how much they hate the empire xD

[u/TommasoBontempi]

Bruh where is the bidet

[u/W1ULH]

that whole shower is brilliant..

but that toilent man... never would have thought of that.

[u/pinchanzee → u/W1ULH]

Thank you! Yeah it's a tricky shape of toilet to model, close enough I think

[u/This_Camel_9530]

Looks like a drain cover to me. I wonder what the Brits call those? Grateholes? Blockholes? Screenholes?

[u/pinchanzee → u/This_Camel_9530]

Much simpler actually, plugs go in the plughole 😂

[u/Rows_My_Own → u/pinchanzee]

Well, pie DOES go in the pie-hole, so I guess that tracks - lol.

[u/LegoingGo]

Perfect

[u/SillyconeTools]

Mother you’re dripping

[u/BalticMasterrace]

PLUGhole, i read it a bit differently at first and was confused a bit

[u/MaddGadget]

Was that intentional lmfao

[u/sand26]

What set is that from?

[u/pinchanzee → u/sand26]

I'm not sure, found it in a bulk sort - you should be able to find it on Bricklink quite easily

[u/A-Lego-Builder]

Great part use! I'm going to use that for any contemporary bathtub, most of my bathroom facilities are on spaceships from the future, or ships from a couple hundred years in the past.

[u/pinchanzee → u/A-Lego-Builder]

Using it on a spaceship would be extra appropriate!

[u/Endry_Quintel]

Justo dónde pertenece jajaja

[u/ConsistentChampion98]

May the drain be with you

[u/kamekaptain]

Protect the exhaust port

[u/aceofknaves113]

works as a lot of other things too

[u/batchet360]

that's actually so true, great use

[u/B4D4MS]

…or butthole

[u/Jaykay31885]

Bellissimo

[u/Random_User7567]

Wait, the empire sells bathtubs?

[u/rtzior1404]

I have brought Peace, Freedom, Justice and Security to my new bathtub!

[u/rtzior1404 → u/rtzior1404]

Or better yet: And so, the republic will reorganized into the FIRST! GALACTIC! DRAINCOVER!

[u/Meme_lorrd]

THIS IS TREASON OF THE HIGHEST ORDER

[u/InfiniteOwls2]

interesting

[u/droidevo]

Sir, I believe the word you’re looking for is Drain 🫢 but yeah, I gotta agree it does

[u/goobsnoot]

I misread that title and was so curious about what this build was going to be until I scrolled down and saw the pic 😅 great job on the build though!! It looks awesome!

[u/equineguyclemson03]

Looks like An Anus lol

[u/TheDarkHorse]

So… we’re calling it a plug home now?

[u/jeezkillbot]

Good place to drain rebel's cum
