Bidet is life
Showerthoughts
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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of 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.
So true
Did...did you say toilet paper?
He doesn't know how to use the three seashells!
I hope we never stop referencing this.
Because "flushable" wipes really aren't and they are mode of plastic?
Mine are plastic free and clearly fall apart in water
Do they come on a roll?
Because toilet paper can be flushed, but baby wipes should go in a garbage bin?
My roommate refuses to acknowledge that key difference. I just hope I’m out of the apartment before it becomes my problem.
Being in an apartment, good chance it gets to the building-wide plumbing before clogging, and so wouldn't be traced back to you. Of course, that would still leave you (and the rest of the building) without plumbing for a while whenever it actually does clog
bidet is the only green way
Some years back I was introduced to the CuloClean (https://culoclean.com/) - a side squirting cap that fits most any narrow plastic bottle, e.g. dish soap bottles. Super portable, I take it camping.
Until recently, baby wipes were largely non biodegradable
And they’re still non-flushable, despite what the package says.
Most baby wipes and similar materials aren’t designed to be flushed—“flushable” products like wipes do not readily disperse upon flushing and actually remain in a solid state while traveling through the sewer system. They may clog your pipes at home resulting in costly visits from your plumber. They may get caught in the public wastewater system, which can cause thousands of dollars worth of damage to regional pumping equipment leading to higher sewer bills for us all. While many of these products might masquerade as “flushable” and “sewer friendly”, don’t be fooled!
Toilet wipes have led to an epidemic of what have been colloquially termed as turdbergs, which are vehicle sized piles of shit held together by baby wipes that refuse to actually biodegrade and have caused sewer and plumbing issues costing taxpayers and individuals millions of dollars.
Mine disperse fine, don't trust big paper
Paper? I don’t wipe like a peasant. I have one of those $20 bidets.
Okay so how do you dry your arse
This shit again? Pun intended. But JFC Lemmy is fucking obsessed with TP & bidets.
Mandatory PSA: Baby wipes clog up the plumbing system. Please don't flush those down a toilet. TP was designed to break down.
Read some history to discover methods used before we settled on toilet paper.
Spoiler: you're not gonna like it.
History
"We" didn't. Join Eru's chorus and buy a bidet.
