A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Bidet is life
Got one off Amazon for $35....wifey's like, "meh"....I say, "30 days, you'll wonder where it's been all your life!"....8 days later, wifey, "When I go at work, I wonder why they don't have..."
Bidet very good, but I still need a few squares to check. "Trust but verify."
Be thankful you're not blind...
As long as you're not both blind and anosmic, should be OK.
Just give it the old taste stes then.
I feel like a support animal could be trained to help in any of these cases.
I don't know how I feel about having an animal clean my ass that way....
Generally one should wipe anyways before using a bidet
Really, even if it's a toilet with a bidet seat? I would think that wiping before spraying would decrease the effect of the spray.
So true
I'd argue, majority of places don't have those. Also I'm talking about the wiping process.
You can order one online for like $35 and install it yourself, it's a real game changer.
Not if you're negated to manual work plus having an ant size bathroom.
Naw buddy it's like an attachment onto your existing toilet. You can even get one with hot water for just a lil more if your toilet is close enough to the hot water inlet to the sink.
Some even do instant hot water without needing to be connected to the hot water line!
The size still a problem
You really need to investigate what people are telling you before you tell them they are wrong.
Mine goes under the toilet seat (space that's already being used) and connects to the tank by a 1/2" metal hose.
Took me 10 minutes to install. $35 on Amazon.
It's a hose, how can the room size be a problem?
To be fair, I honestly don't know the size of your toilet, but I would be rather surprised if it's such a nonstandardized size that you couldn't find a cheap bidet to put on there.
That said, you seem opposed to the very concept of being able to mount a bidet so I think that's your biggest barrier to a cleaner anus.
Homie, I have a bathroom that is the literal T from Tetris. I got a bidet installed in mine ezmode.
It just goes on your toilet seat, it doesn't require much except connecting hoses.
I can recommend HappyPo, a portable bidet.
Butt Shower
I must be using it wrong. It just makes my butt wet, not really easier to wipe.
Hard to say. I like to lean forward and to the side, lifting one butt cheek off the seat and then I do sploosh with relatively much pressure.
One mistake I've made at first, is to be a bit overzealous with the wiping. In order to be clean, you only need the outside of the sphincter to be clean. Trying to clean beyond there is rather pointless, as that's the inside of your rectum, where your body literally stores shit.
But with toilet paper, you can obviously reach beyond that, which will return a stained toilet paper and make it look like you weren't clean yet.
Guess that's the reason.
Anything portable with the poo theme related is a no for me.
Use a bidet and never wipe again.
I don't get this, I've used bidets, it results in a wet ass that I need to dry off with toilet paper which sometimes still shows poop
I guess keep wiping then. About a month since I installed our bidet and the only time I used paper after about the first week of checking, is at work. And yeah, my asshole is wet after I spray, but it is not like there is water pouring out of it or anything.
