I like to take one step further and use a white pencil eraser followed by IPA. Helps get more of the dirt and oxidation off.
This may be enough for most cases but I prefer to hit the inside of my cartridges with a sand blaster and then soak the entire thing in hydrochloric acid, really gets it good
I get this is supposed to be a joke but why is it funny?
If I had to put it in words, I'd say that it's an example of absurdist humor by taking the common act of "one-up'ing" to an unexpected extreme degree.
ex.: "I prefer mowers from x brand, because they give a more consistent cut height." / "Yeah, those mowers are great and all, but I started using a ruler and scissors to cut my lawn, it really took it to the next level"
