Installing a bidet at home was life changing but unfortunately it's transformed pooping on company time from a small proletarian victory into yet another grueling humiliation of inadequate working conditions.

Fecal bacteria were detected in 50 of the 268 cases (18.66%), 46 cases in users (92%) and only 4 cases in non-users (8%). Contamination by other pathogens was 4 to 6 times higher in users than in non-users.

It sprays shit around. I guess to me, that just seemed obvious. But I hear what you are saying to me. It even surprised the researchers, so why would I be surprised that other people find it surprising.

I take your point. It seemed very obvious to me after installing one, but I'm being rude by assuming knowledge. Thank you for correcting my attitude.

That's not very nice to say. I'm not being obtuse -- the writers of the article you linked it even said themselves they were surprised that the bidet-users had more fecal matter. I don't poop on my bidet, and regularly clean it. You'd think that the jet of water plus wiping would get more fecal matter off your butt rather than wiping, alone. Dang. I'm just trying to have a conversation.

I corrected that comment almost immediately, and I apologize. You are absolutely right, I was being defensive.

Edit: I'm not an asshole, I swear. I saw that you were honestly engaging and I felt bad immediately and revised the comment as quickly as I could.

I gotchu, it happens. No worries. You've definitely piqued my (admittedly gross) interest -- I'm gonna do some more research after work and I'll look out for your link.

Good luck on zoom!
