    Lmfao I was a part of that thread. Someone said they’d never heard of smooth bricks and I just showed them a picture of a normal red brick.

      I hopped into that thread, ready to be an angsty stone mason and be all:
      That’s not brick you MFR! It might be garbage “cultured stone” where they grind up perfectly good stone, add a bunch of cement and form it in the shape of a proper stone veneer.

      But other people had already done that and OP had already answered their own question, so I just took my torch and pitchfork and left.

      Hah, i just read that and downloaded your normal red brick picture. Idk, it seemed like i could use this in the future. It’s a pretty neat brick pic.

        Glass? Suppose that isn’t perfect either though. Better to make it all out of lubricated dildos. Ninjas struggle to hold onto them and you can catch a laugh watching a ninja wanker on up a wall

    Dude this doesn’t surprise me. I was trying to find out what the technical terms were for the types of “stones” that are in my fireplace so I could replace a broke one and holy cow, there’s no way. Industry just makes up a bunch of bat crap terms and then hides knowledge behind shit like masonry guilds.

    Illuminati confirmed? Lol!
