When my Muslim coworker told me that they didnโ€™t use toilet paper and found it disgusting.

I later got a bidet and have never looked back.

They just air dry? I'd still use a little after.

The bidet has a hot air dryer. Truly living in the future.

butt air dryers, like hand air dryers, are good in theory but horrible in practice. they blow toilet air around and blast infectious particles EVERYWHERE :[

Excuse me wtf? Really??

Consider that for Arabs the old school way would be using their left hand and sand (well, in more humid areas - water). Which is the reason you should be careful with your left hand while interacting with a person of that culture.

I think I like some paper between hand and ... more, than sand, ya knaw.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Only relevant if you talk to a Bedouin living in the desert. Otherwise bidet culture is pretty big in MENA.

I just pictured a grown-ass adult with "arab clothing", in an apartment in the middle of Manhattan, shitting in a sandbox like a goddamn cat.

Paper is definitely an upgrade over something that is coarse and gritty and gets everywhere...

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

And also separates your hand from the substance you are removing, not joins it. (Sorry, I just couldn't)
