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.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

My wife does this all the time, and if I don't check before I spritz I get an unexpected ball splash.

NSFW for potential topic sensitivity I guess.

One thing I've always wondered about bidets: where do you add the soap? If there's no such thing, then what makes bidets any better than using toilet paper? What's next, washing your hands without soap?

Personally I rather just risk plumbing issues with butt wipes. And for those particularly nasty shits, I can always hop in the shower and do a quick detail on my asshole with the showerhead and some body wash.

Really seems like you answered your own question here

Not at all, cause even regular shits should be cleaned off with something beyond just water or paper. Y'all are walking around with smelly, unclean assholes and it's disgusting.

You can do that with a bidet though

So bidets do dispense soap, then? Cause if not, no they can't.

Like I said, butt wipes is the bare minimum necessary to get clean after a shit. Toilet paper/water alone won't cut it.

Do you take a shower without using soap? What a stupid thing to say.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

You can use soap with a bidet.

There is no valid reason for the toilet seat to ever be up when you enter the bathroom.

You close the lid before you flush, that's why it exists.

edit: added "valid"

But after flushing I still need to check if I need to use the toilet brush

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

But I like seeing my turds circle the drain

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't like it, but watching the flush can save a whole lot of pain. Clogs suck.

Flushing isn't exactly silent, though? The toilet getting clogged should make a very noticeably different sound.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

This might be different in mostly wooden homes like in the US, but here with stone homes the majority of the noise of flushing comes from the actual water rushing into the bowl plus the tank beginning to refill. The actual drainage causes virtually no noise.

Why are you hot linking some google images bidet instead of just uploading the image to the post?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

alternatively: why are you linking to an image at all and not just making a text post
