I’m not sure about EU specific but I’m currently using a Tushy brand bidet and it’s extremely simple and wonderful and their website and manuals are full of shitty puns! Also, consider one with a feminine setting as I’ve heard they’re extra helpful.

You speak truth that most are afraid to admit. My butthole is clean though and my hemorrhoid much more tame since forgoing the rough paper wiping. Also, it can help speed up the “endless poop” feelings that can happen on a bad stomach day, cause you know you’re empty (for now)

People rep bidets all the time, but I don’t see many repping the detailed nuances of why the’re the shit

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

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.

You can get ones with heated water and warm air drying capability (they are more than $30 though)

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.

Are you-… Uhh… Are you using Pringles to wipe, in some sort of Three Shells system?

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 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

When you’re using a bidet with the underseat nozzle, imagine you’re washing dog shit off the sidewalk, except you’re the sidewalk. You do the bidet dance - shimmy your butt side-to-side as you scoot back-to-front. Fiddle with the strength of the stream until you find what’s still comfortable, but strong enough to knock all the poop loose. The sprayer-and-hose style of bidet means you don’t have to shimmy, but you have to be a bit more careful where you aim it. Blot dry with TP. Some TP works better with a bidet because it doesn’t disintegrate as easily when wet.

You still use toilet paper. Except now it’s just for drying

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!

I’m struggling to imagine how a bidet could damage pipes.

What? I think you’re referring to wet wipes

I think you’re thinking of “flushable” wipes. Bidets are different

That’s because I Google this question every day and reply to all of them.

For good reason. We can’t imagine going back to having a dirty asshole and we want you to join us

So Reddit except socially inept pissy communists instead of socially inepy pissy liberals.

I wish there was a <3 option instead of just upvote

It is a pc, it’s gaben maintaining your arch. And it has officially supported replacement parts. And the thermals are great and power usage almost optimal. And it’s a kickass console as well that you don’t have to re-buy games for and can run emulators and still use all input as you like.

It is essentially a full fledged PC. It uses the same AMD APU (CPU with built in GPU) as the PS5 and Xbox, has expandable storage. There are other similar and more powerful competitors but the steam deck has the best price and has out of th box support for a shit load of games using Steam. It also user serviceable.

I don’t talk about products unless they’re really good. I only say anything about the stuff that’s impressively good because I think good products should be rewarded. The steam deck is okay ergonomically, I’ve had hours long sessions and no issues. The screen is big enough to avoid eye strain while keeping it portable. The screen does a great job, and I haven’t seen any flickers or tearing. The screen also responds to touch. The thumbsticks are great quality, with good snap back, and no deadzone. The shoulder buttons aren’t mushy, and respond well. The dpad is unremarkable, but works well. The ABXY buttons are maybe slightly soft, but I haven’t lost any inputs. There’s a trackpad like square that is like a high DPI mouse, and has haptic response to touch.

The software is the real star. Its set it and forget it. Everything is easy to setup. Most games work, and all games in the store show their compatibility. Some games that aren’t supported still work fine regardless. As a bonus, the desktop mode also works well for acting as a normal PC with a good software “store” (most things are free).

But the best part is that you can be in the middle of a cutscene, and hit the power button. The deck can usually pick right up from where it left off. Add also the fact that the steam UI can be opened from anywhere so you can rebind controls on the fly. Extra buttons are available on the back for those games that need it, you just need to bind them once.

Before the unreal engine 5 update it ran great. Haven’t tried after, though, could still be ok.

I have a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard setup on my deck to run fps and 4x games, hell most of the games, and satisfactory ran great on the deck(my only reference point is a 5 year old laptop that continues to chug along, satisfactory ran as well, if not better, on the deck than it does on the laptop)

I didn’t even think about how you can “spend” time with others using handhelds. I like this idea :)

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 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 carry a 40 pin connector adapter as well

The one I have has soft spikes all over.

Edit: FYI don’t run it over yer spine.

Can I offer you a nice egg in this trying time?

Eh, it varies from person to person.

Oh, you have got to try Soylent+ they really upped the proportion of adrenochrome in the new formula

It’s a meme.

I’ve had 2 cars under dealer extended warranty, and both warranties have paid for themselves in double. I wouldn’t get a warranty/insurance outside of the dealer except for expensive electronics.

It’s skin advice, lol. If you’re looking to rip hair out, sugaring is the far superior choice. I get a Brazilian sugaring done ever 5 weeks, and I pop right out of my appointment without pain or any of the other waxing ill side effects.

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.

I get a Brazilian done, so I go to a professional to do it. I know you can do it at home, and I might try my legs or pits that way. But not a Brazilian, lol. I do know it’s easy to make. Googling how to make it will show lots of results.

You have nothing to lose but your chains

We used it for things like cheese sauce. Never tried actually whipping it, but for savory meals it did the trick just right

I used to work in the catering industry and have seen almost every chef use it interchangeably with cream when they needed plant based options. It works great

The US also has this. It’s delicious.

People who strongly oppose plant based meat alternatives use the same argument. As if that’s the only food people ever eat in a single meal, single day, or even a single week.

Nobody’s eating cream for the micronutrients
