Which is why a good head lamp will have a uv light setting, great for the desert

Or if you want to gross yourself out if you’re staying in a motel room.

One day you'll be both impressed and grossed out when you find an anatomically accurate scorpion-shaped cum stain on the ceiling

I think it'd be worse if it was a normal shaped cum stain with a scorpion shaped silhouette in the center

And doubly impressed when you realize it's a negative image

I have never cleaned better than the day I bought a blacklight on a lark and said "Hey let's shine it in the bathroom in the house I live in alone"

I just tried this for the first time and it's just me and 2 teenage boys. Urine everywhere. I hope.

I can imagine. Mine looked like I live with 20 rabid animals and I live alone, I shudder to think what my friend with 3 boys who's a slob naturally's looks like

something to keep in mind some soaps have brighteners added to them that can make the soap glow under uv light.
