Bidet attachments for your toilet are about $30 and you can install it yourself with zero skills in 30 minutes.
Wouldn’t you pay $30 to never have to wipe shit again? Just dry off and that’s it. Greatest thing imaginable.
I know it’s ignorant, but all I can imagine when using a bidet for the first time is shooting my corn hole with a jet of cold water, not knowing how clean it is back there, and using a towel to dry off only to find watered down shit on the towel.
You just use toilet paper to dry
I was reluctant to get a bidet because I couldn’t hook it up to a warm water line, and was pleasantly surprised when I realized buttholes really aren’t that temperature sensitive. Even in the dead of winter, cold well water shot straight up the butthole doesn’t feel cold or shocking at all. Probably impossible to believe unless you try it yourself.
Also, don’t be a monster and dry your butthole with a towel. Just use a little bit of toilet paper so if you’re still dirty, it’s okay. It’s not like your whole rear-end gets soaked, it’s a very thin steam of water that targets just your butthole, with maybe a tiny bit of spray on the surrounding area
You can get ones with heated water and warm air drying capability (they are more than $30 though)
It’s only surprising or strange the first time. If you aren’t acutely aware of how the water of a shower hits your skin every time you shower, then you won’t notice the bidet more than the first or second time.

Nope just water water. You get better at it and start to know how much time you have to spray before it’s all clean.

Yes. Absolutely.
I’ve got one in my apartment unused. Our toilet’s a weird big moulded piece and I couldn’t get to the plastic bolts keeping the seat on…
Yeah, my last apartment had toilets that weren’t compatible. The supply hose going to the tank actually had a compression washer and went all the way through the tank before attaching to the valve. Like I couldn’t just unscrew the water hose from the bottom of the tank to tie in, because there wasn’t anything to unscrew. The hose just went straight through to the inside of the tank.
I’ve never seen anything like it before or since. It honestly had me baffled, and I was left settling for baby wipes until I could move into my current place. And you’d best bet that during my walkthrough for my current place, I checked the toilet to see if it would work with my bidet. The leasing agent looked at me like I was crazy when I dove behind the toilet, but it’s a new checkbox on my list.
I’ve read about people connecting theirs by running a hose from the sink connection to the bidet. Normally you’d only do that to get hot water into the mix, but I guess it’s also an option to get basic cold water if you’re stuck with a fussy toilet.
I did have to shave some of the plastic from mine to get the toilet lid to close naturally. Not the same situation, but they do on occasion, require a little creativity
You’ve clearly never eaten Pringles.
Edit: I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to everyone who stumbled upon this comment and the thread that follows.
Are you-… Uhh… Are you using Pringles to wipe, in some sort of Three Shells system?
Haha look at this guy! He doesn’t know how to use the three Pringles!

So, how do you bidet to squeaky clean without touching your shit covered asshole? I know Indian people run water down the small of their back with a pitcher and wash that way, with their hand. Then they wash their hand. I’d like to avoid getting shit on my hands.
I’ve read these tend to cause issues with your pipes though
I’m struggling to imagine how a bidet could damage pipes.
What? I think you’re referring to wet wipes
Using one just like op described for a year. No issues. I miss it now when I have to poop away from home.
Get with bidets, America!
Away from home without a bidet… it’s the worst lol. My last stent was 3 months away from home, and felt like taking a step backwards in life

Problem is that it is aimed at socially awkward and inept individuals who do not like to engage with one another. I try to start conversations but the only reactions I get are from pissy communists
So Reddit except socially inept pissy communists instead of socially inept pissy liberals.
Basically xd
I wish there was a <3 option instead of just upvote

i mean, the developers are communists (hence why they went with the .ml TLD on their instance), so i think it is a trend that predates any significant reddit migration. also federated social media has kind of always been full of communists and anarchists. i reckon it kind of goes hand in hand with the distrust of the big corpo sites.
anyways, go touch grass, please.

Vertical mice. I had occasional wrist pain from using a computer, which was annoying since then I’d had to take a break from the computer for about a day to recover. Got a vertical mouse and haven’t had any issues since. Took maybe a day to get used to it too.
Likewise trackballs. Took me all of a day to get used to using a thumb ball (Logitech MX Ergo), my wrist pain cleared right up and I haven’t looked back.
Yeah, they’re not great for twitch gaming, but on the flip side it’s highly amusing to watch people’s brains crash when they try to push it around like a mouse.

A vertical mouse saved me from carpal tunnel syndrome. A few years ago I started developing wrist and elbow pain in my mouse arm along with the numbness. It was getting so bad I would take frequent breaks to ice my wrist and would wear a brace at night. I started looking for ergonomic mice and decided to try out a $15 Anker one from Amazon. I felt relief the day I started using it and within a few days the symptoms were gone entirely.
Hey I think I got that same one, at least it was also was $15 and from Anker. Some of the outer plastic is rubbing off though so I’ve been looking for a new one. Unfortunate not many companies make good quality vertical mice - the only one I’ve seen that seems well built is the logitech mx vertical.
I resorted to using my left hand to control the mouse at work, then revert to my right hand at home
I have been a left hand mouser at work for probably 15-20 years.
An early data entry job made my right wrist prone to soreness from mouse use. I am very much right handed, but left hand mousing 90% of the time feels totally natural now. If I’m at going using the mouse on the right, it’s usually for photo editing or PC games.
I have the same experience, and now I won’t go back to using a regular mouse. They look weird but work great.

I don’t know but if I did I might buy it
Not exactly sell but Linux tbh. I feel like most people would agree with all the justifications I have but am too drunk to type for not using Microsoft or Apple but simply are not aware of how much these monopolies of the tech market encroach on their privacy. More people need to be aware and take action
And if more people wanted Linux, Linux laptops could actually be a thing sold in normal stores instead of being a niche item only found online. I think a lot of the casual user concerns with Linux stem from lack of OEM support. You have to worry about any particular hardware driver not being supported. Beyond that, Linux vs Windows or OS X work pretty much identical for the average casual user who just wants to browse the web.
My mind was blown when I found this little plastic ball in a sports store which you can put between your back and a wall and you can massage yourself. It works wonders within even seconds of using it. It’s only a few euro and I used to waste hundreds of euro on massages. And you can take it anywhere because it’s small and light.
My doctor prescribed me a lacrosse ball for a bad shoulder once, for exactly what you described. It’s slightly rubbery but really dense, and it’s apparently the perfect thing for tight muscles.
The one I have has soft spikes all over.
Edit: FYI don’t run it over yer spine.
Honestly USB C adapters. If you EDC a portable power bank it’s worth looking into a USB C to micro and thunderbolt adapter. It’s a lot easier than carrying around multiple cords and an easy way to help out friends and coworkers.
I think I got mine for a few dollars on Ali Express
thunderbolt
Heh 😏
I carry a 40 pin connector adapter as well

It also has an ambidextrous mode where you can set all the normal keys to one side of the keyboard, which is, again, great for accessibility, but also if you want to have your free hand on a mouse or… something… else…

that is so cool! I’d love to try typing with it. I doubt I would want to commit to it though.

Good flashlights. You can get a great one that’s rechargeable and super bright for something like 30€. At the same price you can get a crappy one at your local hardware store which is the options most people choose.
Why this over a phone flashlight
Phone flashlights are optimized for photos. They don’t shine very bright for example. You need to see even a good 30€ flashlight. Super bright compared to that. Also if you are in a situation that means you need to have battery on your phone, using the flashlight drains it a lot. Also on some flashlights you can use as a powerbank. For someone living in a city, it’s maybe not it but if you are even a bit remote or like to do hiking or something its super useful. Idk I probably have read too much r/flashlights. It’s like collecting knives man.
I can see that, I just personally never have been in a situation where I felt like I needed one lol. Well, except when I need a flashlight held up and my phone keeps tripping over

You can’t beat my meat
I tried Soylent, it wasn’t that good.
Oh, you have got to try Soylent+ they really upped the proportion of adrenochrome in the new formula
It’s pretty mid, beef is better

I can’t tell if this is memeing, isn’t basically everyone tried to convince them to buy it?
Thanks!
No worries my dude!
Sugaring over waxing. No infections, way less pain, same smooth results.
Go on
Wax sticks to the top layer of your skin, so when the hair is ripped away, so it the top membrane layer. This leaves you more susceptible to infection, also, it fucking hurts. Sugar just sticks to your hair and leaves skin intact.
Wax uses paper strips, so much more waste. You use the same sugar for the whole appointment, no paper is used.
Wax uses a higher heat point to work, which is why so many people get burns when waxed. Sugar uses a much cooler heat point, so it won’t burn you.
I just don’t see any pros to waxing over sugaring. Some people claim sugaring lasts longer, but if it does, it’s not enough of a noticeable difference, imo.
Thanks
Wax uses a higher heat point to work, which is why so many people get burns when waxed. Sugar uses a much cooler heat point, so it won’t burn you.
I assume that “wax”, “sugar” and “heat point” have some special definitions in this context? The melting point for paraffin wax is somewhere between 40°C to 60°C, the melting point of sucrose is around 185°C.
I’m talking about the heat point in which they’re malleable enough to be used to remove hair. That heat point is higher for wax, but sugar is cooled way down to get to that point.
Your esthetician should be dusting your skin with powder so that it doesn’t take any skin off at all
When I’m not struggling to stay awake tomorrow I’ll put to rest all the anti-wax myths OP just perpetuated, but sugaring is far more risky than waxing. If they they have good enough results sugaring themselves then that is great, but coming from someone in business, sugaring is a growing trend that is hurting people in their most sensitive areas. I’d be open to an AMA on the subject of aesthetics and hair removal as well because the amount of myth surrounding it is super high. There’s a reason people see professionals.
Sounds like you haven’t seen an experienced hard wax specialist. You shouldnt ever be getting burned.
