Born to shit... Forced to wipe 😓

[–] resin85@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Sometimes it's like wiping a marker

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

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.

There are some people.....

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.

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 5 points 1 year ago

Do they make extra fancy soapy bidets?

[–] BolexForSoup@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Do you literally never use the restroom in public spaces or something? Or is this just a special treat when you’re at home?

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That’s for at home. But to answer your other question, I do carry a small 50ml squeeze bottle of liquid soap in my bag, like those keychain hand sanitizers. Obviously it’s not always useful if the public toilet doesn’t have a bidet in the first place, so I also have wet wipes in my bag for a cleaner feeling at least until I can get home and wash properly.

And to answer your one other question, yes portable bidets exist. I have one and bring it with me when I travel so I can still wash if my hotel doesn't have one.

[–] SuiXi3D@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You do know portable bidets exist, right?

[–] BolexForSoup@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can’t tell if this is a joke or not lol

Either way, people carry around bidets and soap everywhere they go? Not judging just super surprised.

[–] SuiXi3D@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

No to the soap, but the little battery powered bidet I have is awesome. Comes in really handy… everywhere that isn’t home.

[–] TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I can barely find my fucking keys most days 💀

[–] SuperRecording@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

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

[–] taanegl 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

[–] lseif@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

can bidet fanatics just leave people alone? im sure they are better, not everyone has the money or time to install one. also, i have a feeling they just dont know how to wipe properly.

[–] MostlyGibberish@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean, that goes both ways. As an American, and especially as a guy, I often get sideways looks when I mention I have a bidet. If you can't or won't try it out, fine, but people are really acting like it's strange to clean yourself off using water.

[–] ExLisper@linux.community 3 points 1 year ago

Move to Spain. Every apartment has a bidet here. It's as normalized as a jam stand in your kitchen.

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Hello fellow Jerboa user!

Open source Lemmy clients ftw!

[–] ExLisper@linux.community 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Considering I have no idea what you're talking about I'll say it was.

There is a bug with the GrapheneOS keyboard being strangely buggy when backspacing (it gets confused about where the word starts so if you delete the last letter of a word it will instead delete the space just before the word which is annoying as hell) however that bug is definitely not exclusive to Jerboa and only happens with that keyboard so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] ExLisper@linux.community 2 points 1 year ago

Yep, that's the bug I'm talking about. I had it and I'm not using GrapheneOS so for me the app was 'read only' and I stopped using it. And it was exclusive to Jerboa for me, all the other apps work fine.

Who wants to tell them wet wipes exist?

[–] MaxHardwood@lemmy.ca 14 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 15 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.

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.

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

My old flatmate would shower after every. single. shit. Which was fine in the afternoon/evening. But we got up for work at the same time, and he'd take 20mins in the shower plus 10-15 pooping. Which meant I'd have to be up an hour earlier than I needed to be to be able to poop in the morning.....
