Bidet is life

Hatred OP ,

I’d argue, majority of places don’t have those. Also I’m talking about the wiping process.

TheAlbatross ,

You can order one online for like $35 and install it yourself, it’s a real game changer.

Hatred OP ,

Not if you’re negated to manual work plus having an ant size bathroom.

TheAlbatross ,

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.

AmbiguousProps ,

Some even do instant hot water without needing to be connected to the hot water line!

Hatred OP ,

The size still a problem

wildbus8979 ,

It’s a hose, how can the room size be a problem?

TheAlbatross ,

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.

Rhynoplaz ,

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.

AmbiguousProps ,

It just goes on your toilet seat, it doesn’t require much except connecting hoses.

toasteecup ,

Homie, I have a bathroom that is the literal T from Tetris. I got a bidet installed in mine ezmode.

I can recommend HappyPo, a portable bidet.

Hatred OP ,

Anything portable with the poo theme related is a no for me.

I must be using it wrong. It just makes my butt wet, not really easier to wipe.

Ephera ,

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.

nokturne213 ,

Use a bidet and never wipe again.

Blaze ,

So true

CrimeDad ,

Bidet very good, but I still need a few squares to check. “Trust but verify.”

Be thankful you’re not blind…

AmidFuror ,

As long as you're not both blind and anosmic, should be OK.

Fosheze ,

Just give it the old taste stes then.

CrimeDad ,

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....

It’s the youtube algorithm wearing a skin suit to convince children to gamble.

wildbus8979 , to showerthoughts in We really accepted toilet paper as the definitive way to wipe our asses isn't?

Because “flushable” wipes really aren’t and they are mode of plastic?

Hatred OP ,

They felt like paper to me?

wildbus8979 ,
OsrsNeedsF2P , to showerthoughts in We really accepted toilet paper as the definitive way to wipe our asses isn't?

Until recently, baby wipes were largely non biodegradable

CM400 ,

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!

bizarroland ,

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.

Reverendender , to piracy in Adobe stole my creative suite

I would love it if you took them to small claims court on this. We all love piracy, but I would also love to see how that case turned out.

themurphy , to asklemmy in Who the hell is MrBeast?

Alright, I’ll give you the only non-grumpy answer here apparently, from someone who actually knows him.

His name is Jimmy. He loves YouTube, and want to make the best videos possible.

He lived with his mom and brother in his childhood. No mention of a father. He played a little baseball, and besides that he really just wanted to make video content. The family was not rich.

His first brand deal he got, he received 10.000 dollars from a sponsor. He gave it all away to someone and filmed it, gaining another brand deal that then got better and better because he gained more viewers.

The concept today for almost all of his videos is “game show”. Which means you almost always have a chance to win money. Sometimes he also just gave it random on the street.

He also is a part of Team Trees and Save the Ocean, doing some environmental work in his videos.

Now, Jimmy aka MrBeast has a philanthropy channel, where he hired two individuals to go and give money away around the world to poor villages in 3rd world countries.

He also sells chocolate from sustainable cocoa farms, that is also gentle to the stomach (Jimmy has a stomach disease, don’t remember the name).

So yeah, that’s MrBeast. He uses all his time and money on videos, and he himself live in a little bunker close to the film studio. He owns almost nothing for himself, but he does own the biggest YouTube brand there is.

Hope it helped.

(sorry for the spam Louis, lotta us instantly thought of you - hope it translates to some awareness, action, & Adsense revenue)

CaptainBasculin , to asklemmy in Who the hell is MrBeast?

MrBeast is a really popular content creator that makes videos with high production value; similar to TV Show Contests but with a worldwide audience. He currently holds the title for the Youtube channel with the most subscribers.

About the drama revolving him; recently, it’s surfaced that one of his friends in the channel called Kris has inappropriately talked with a minor back before; and an ex-MrBeast employee has came out telling that MrBeast himself was favoring people he knew over completely random subscribers; skewing the odds to make the challanges more interesting to watch and also a stream he did way before (signing every T-Shirt bought live) had various elements that are outright illegal in a lot of countries, saying stuff like “if you buy this within the next 10 minutes you have chance to get XXX”.

ad_on_is , (edited ) to selfhosted in SFF machines for simple server

I’d recommend the following, which is what I did

  • Get one of these N100 or N305 firewall mini PCs with two NICs for your opnsense box. they’re like 15x15 cm in size
  • A managed switch (at least 8-port)
  • A cheapo small PC case, that can house enough drives, or can add some 3dprinted drive tray or whatever for your NAS.

I’d highly suggest, not to put everything in one box. Been there, nothing but struggles.

zer0squar3d ,

100% this.

CameronDev , to asklemmy in How come have militaries weaponize and test stuff

The militarys goal isn’t to make money, its to maintain their tactical edge. And they are up against relentless competition, so they must continuously innovate or lose their advantage.

It’s not so much that the army dudes are buying the tech once its developed, they often ARE developing it. And if its giving them an advantage, they will obviously want to hold that as long as possible.

skyspydude1 , to mildlyinfuriating in I need new glasses. The only insurance-approved place I can shop online will cost $250 with my needs. I went to a "cheap" glasses website that doesn't accept insurance: $250. Yay, America.

Okay, I’m going to go against the grain here and say “Don’t go with the really cheap online glasses”.

I used eyebuydirect, Zenni, and a couple of others for many years, and was pretty happy with them, especially for the price. However, one thing I’d always noticed is that they’d wind up being pretty beat up with some large scratches in the coatings, or they’d just fail and start flaking off by around the 1 year mark (I’m pretty hard on my glasses, tbf) and I absolutely had to get new ones. I just kind of accepted that I was very hard on my glasses, and that’s what happens.

However, I started going to Costco just because my insurance wouldn’t cover any of the online places, and the quality of the lenses and coatings are absolutely night and day. I’ve had 10 pairs now (sunglasses and normal lenses), and only had one with a single scratch in the lenses, after having them go flying across a cement floor due to me doing something quite stupid.

I don’t think you need a membership for their optical center either, but I’m not 100% sure.

Ookami38 ,

I’ve had the exact opposite experience. Last time trying glasses at a local place, they hurt my eyes and couldn’t figure out how to adjust them properly. Every pair I’ve purchased on Zenni has lasted multiple years of me sleeping in them or doing contact sports in them. I still have multiple pairs kicking around my house or car as spares.

electric ,

…you sleep with them on? How?

skyspydude1 ,

I do this quite a bit too. I can fall asleep insanely quickly, so sometimes I’m just chilling on the couch watching something, and then I’m out. Then when I wake up I have to go digging through my couch to figure out where the heck my glasses went
