It seems like the only logical option. If someone paid me to come up with a solution to having poopy butt I couldn't come up with a better one than a hose or a bidet. You know what I wouldn't do? I WOULDN'T INVENT PAPER YOU COULD RUB ON YOUR BUTT.

Like every person that has tried a bidet on the internet describes their experience as being reborn. Anyone that tries it instantly becomes a shill for big bidet. I have not seen a single negative review for a bidet aside from maybe water shooting up your back which is more of a skill issue with aiming.

There is some debate to be had between using a bidet versus using a hose. With bidet there's no hand contact but you can't control where the water goes. Im personally more in favor of hose since you still gotta flush and handle the bathroom door so there's gonna be contact either way, but using water is CLEARLY superior to toilet paper.

Water is cheaper and guess what? IT USES LESS CLEAN WATER THAN MAKING TOILET PAPER. That's right making a single tissue of TP uses more water than just simply washing your butt. You can also shower less frequently because you don't constantly smell like shit. We are deforesting jungles just to turn them into butt napkins that do not even clean us properly, they just smear the shit all over the crack and make us smell like poop.

Also without TP there's no longer an issue with assholes flushing their used TP down the toilet and clogging the pipes, houses will no longer get TP'ed, the pandemic scalping situation wouldn't have happened etc etc. So why are people still hellbent on using this inferior method?

So it's okay to drink that water but the moment it touches your ass it becomes a problem?

American water is gross can confirm. It’s probably been up someone’s ass, actually

the US contains the worst and best tasting tap water in the world

This is called wastewater treatment and done in your fancy euro countries as well. Chances are very high you’re consuming water that’s been up soneone’s ass in some way shape pr form

I know what wastewater treatment is. I was just making a joke

My bad, dunno why I have such a stick up my ass this morning

To your credit, an American who doesn’t know what wastewater treatment is is very plausible. My ego just couldn’t take it

Do not let it take ahold of you, for you will feel its absence

The only thing that is not ok to drink is Sauerkraut.
