We should be using soap and water after popping, toilet paper alone is barbaric

I sort of agree, but I also poop 5times a day. That would take up a lot of my time.

Would it? Paper is nice and dry but washing your ass at the bathroom sink and towel drying is faster in my experience. It’s just more of a hassle, but it does feel a lot cleaner.

I do several rounds as well and I can tell you washing with soap and water using a bidet is much milder than wiping yourself raw with toilet paper. Washing once per round also takes the same amount of time as wiping several times until you feel “clean”.

Bum gun or Bidet. The humane way to toilet.

If you ever make your own bathroom or get your choice in the matter, go full french: get the separate porcelain fixture that has separate hot and cold valves, with the soap and towel.

I have a Toto seat and, while it’s nice, the stream is small, leaking potential poo water down your legs onto the inner edges of the seat is… (It doesn’t seem to happen, but still), and the internal warm water tank is small.

I used my ex’s much cheaper one a bunch when we were dating, and his was cold only but like a garden hose flow rate. It was so fucking fast and felt so much nicer. But didn’t oscillate, have aim, pressure, heated seat, dryer, or any of that stuff…

Plus, without the soap, I don’t really want to use a towel to dry my bits off.

So ideally, it would be temperature adjustable, PORCELAIN AND NOT PLASTIC, high flow/adjustable, be an actual bidet where you can fit your hands down there to wash yourself with soap and water, and then have a designated towel so that you eliminate more if not all tp usage.

There’s very cheap options if you want to feel clean

They’re are cheap bidets out there, and the are premium ones. The premium ones (like toto) are worth it, but I’d start with an inexpensive one to see if you enjoy it first.

Tf is a bum gun

It’s exactly what it sounds like in this context. Think of a garden hose attachment with a trigger. You point it at the right spot, pull the trigger, and wash your bum clean.

You just gave me a really good idea for a portable bidet actually. I normally use a little squeeze lotion bottle but it doesn’t have the required water power… Now I gotta find some of those tiny water guns we used to have as kids.

No idea if it’s barbaric but it certainly is not as clean as it should be. At least, I think so.

Had a bidet. Had to get rid of it.

The toddler thought it was hilarious.

Hard agree. Bidet + soap is the most hygienic way. I was actually surprised to learn that even some bidet users don’t use soap and literally just blast their ass and hope it washes away everything. You’re already halfway there, might as well use soap and be completely clean.

Ikr, bidet yes, I don’t have one but I have used one and its better. Soap though sounds like a way to have a really dry butt.

Funnily enough, they don’t look tasty.

Branston beans are superior to Heinz beans.

This is the first I’ve heard of Branston beans, but now I’m excited to try them when I’m back in England in a couple of weeks.

I was there for Christmas and bought a relatively huge jar of pickle before I remembered I wasn’t going to be able to fly with it. A lot of pork pie was eaten that day.

The M&S own brand beans are the best I’ve had. I found Heinz to taste too artificially sweet.

Fuck Heinz in general. They don’t make things taste like actual things, just sweet crap.

Their tomato sauce is terrible. Tomatoes taste tangy, not sweet.

If the ingredient of whatever snacks/dessert you’re making is mostly chocolate, only use couverture or don’t even try. There’s place for compound but not here.

Probably a literal one, I like hillwalking and am clumsy

Metaphorically, it’s guitar tonewoods. If you’ve got a solidbody electric guitar you can make the body out of a goddamn breezeblock and it’ll sound absolutely fine. Whatever difference the body/neck material makes is negligible compared to strings, scale length, pickups, resistors, and amps. Acoustic guitars are another matter, but for solidbody electrics it is 99% delusion and marketing

Worth saying that different woods can look really nice and that is probably worth something if youre not going with a paintjob.

Casual Conversation

!casualconversation@lemm.ee

Create post

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you’ll make some friends in the process.


RULES (updated 01/22/25)

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won’t be punished for trying.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There’s a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it’s vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a “controversial” message for it to be allowed.
  4. Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
  5. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a “spammy” message must be applicable to four purple answers before it’s allowed.
  6. Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it “would be a copyright violation if the info was art” as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar’s Number) or less, it’s considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.
