Born to shit... Forced to wipe 😓

[–] resin85 3 points 1 year ago

Sometimes it's like wiping a marker

I bought bidets for the house during the COVID toilet paper lunacy and it's likely the best personal hygiene investment I've ever made. I still get upset when I have to poop somewhere that doesn't have a bidet.

I installed mine during COVID lockdowns - wife got one as a gift for baby shower and we never used it but 2 years later I broke it out during the dark times for toilet paper and it saved our ass, literally. Definitely the best improvement ever, yet some people do feel weird about them, like middle schooler homophobia or some shit

Japan was right all along

Yeah people are weird about bidets. They're obviously a great invention

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

"Piss on your arse" is so weirdly telling of how they conceptualise it...

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There are some people.....

I like the extremely narrow opinion held by whoever took the original screenshot, judging from their use of the agree/disagree buttons. They believe that some form of washing is necessary, but only the exact amount of a bidet— using soap is too much. A very specific middle ground.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

'stream of water' is wrong characterization, it's about a power-washing jet -- blast off those poo particles

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Or you know, wash with water AND soap. I wash with a bidet and use liquid soap along with it. That’s no different than washing in the shower.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do they make extra fancy soapy bidets?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean, i haven't actually been to Japan myself, but I've heard some things...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I haven't ever seen one there, but it's pretty likely.

All I’m seeing is someone who upvotes what they agree with and downvotes what they disagree with lol

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The original purpose was to upvote comments that added to the conversation and down vote those that didn't.

Intent vs. actual use can vary wildly.

The guillotine was invented as a convenient way to slice your melons, but it was unfortunately misused.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately? Sounds like you're a French bourgeoisie who needs an appointment with a guillotine!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

I don’t lol it’s a terrible way to operate. It’s common unfortunately but it’s not supposed to be how it works.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just dump a liter of bleach in the upper deck and remove the seat. Nothing cleans you up better than a good swirl.

Lemmy needs a “Vote for best of” feature.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Or just dont shit simple.

Hello fellow Jerboa user!

Open source Lemmy clients ftw!

You commenting here proves you're not using Jerboa. Or was the keyboard bug finally fixed?

I got one after a surgery because I couldn’t touch my butthole without screaming. And I still thought they were weird. Now I can’t stand it if one isn’t available. Fwiw, if you are a relatively clean pooper the toilet paper is mainly for drying off.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have a high pressure water system at the ready. Remember: if it isn't peeling skin off flesh, it's not effective enough.

I like to back flush my sinuses to help with my allergies

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think I'm going to smell anyone's asshole in a nearby future and I pray you don't either, friend.

Wipe until clean, spray your anus with water, just get the job done and shower often.

having a hard time finding other leninists here. your name suggests your familiar with the Haitian revolution. What about the Cuban Revolution of '59? ¡Siempre poder a la gente! ml

Who wants to tell them wet wipes exist?

[–] MaxHardwood 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wondered why, till I temember that the wet wipes I bought half a year ago mentioned it had no plastics and were safe to flush I think.

I dont use wet wipes anyway but I guess when they tell you its ok then its ok, right?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Even when they do tell you it's ok, it's probably not ok. Toilet paper is designed to disintegrate rapidly in water, hence why it's easily flushable because by the time it's actually going down the pipes it's all ripped up already. Wet wipes, even the "flushable" ones stay intact. You can try this at home, take two cups of water, in one put in a few sheets of toilet paper, in the other put it a wet wipe. Stir them both for a minute to simulate flushing them down the toilet. The toilet paper rips up and what clumps are leftover are pretty small. Wet wipes stay completely intact, which is why they cause problems down the line when they're flushed.
