Nanni: I'd like file a complaint.
Clerk: Ok, throws complaint away, nobody's ever gonna see that again...
This only happens when it is exposed to oxygen, just don't expose it to the air or water and it's totally fine. Works best if you use these fittings in the wall, behind some tiles, preferably of a newly renovated kitchen.

Does anyone know the context of the complaint's purpose? Like was this for arbitration of some sort?
Yeah I read that. It doesn't go into the purpose and intent of what the tablet functionally was for in society. Writing someone a letter of complaint does not seem like a very useful thing to do or worth the effort of a scribe and firing a tablet. This had to have some real reason for creation like a legal court case type of affair.
@PugJesus@lemmy.world to the rescue
Not this time, I'm afraid! My knowledge of ancient Mesopotamia is pretty shallow, though the legal case idea sounds plausible.
