Born to shit... Forced to wipe πŸ˜“

[–] resin85@lemmy.ca 4 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

This is why I pay free range chickens to peck the shit off my asshole. It keeps them out of the factory farms, reduces water use, provides the chicken a fair day wage for a fair day of work, and keeps my butthole squeaky clean.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] jcg@halubilo.social 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There are some people.....

[–] SuperRecording@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 year ago

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

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago (8 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.

[–] match@pawb.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do they make extra fancy soapy bidets?

[–] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Orbituary@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

Extra points if you use ones of these to spray your ass, if you don't have any good bidets, let alone bidet sprays to buy

They're not only as effective, but also portable...

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

[–] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 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.

[–] wolfshadowheart@slrpnk.net 12 points 1 year ago

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

[–] BolexForSoup@kbin.social 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.

[–] thrawn@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

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 bidetβ€” using soap is too much. A very specific middle ground.

[–] peanuts4life@beehaw.org 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 β€œVote for best of” feature.

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.

[–] taanegl@beehaw.org 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.

[–] Montagge@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] spaphy@lemmy.ml 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.

Who wants to tell them wet wipes exist?

[–] MaxHardwood@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] ReakDuck@lemmy.ml 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?

[–] jcg@halubilo.social 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.

zizek-theory

but genuinely he has a bit about this. toilet habits are oddly politically important
