It never left.

Then a sizeable percentage of people are doing it wrong because why on earth do so many people smell like poop? I know some people don't even wipe but I've asked some whether or not they have wiped and despite that they still smelt like poop.

They do actually all sewage treatment plants have filters that contain millions of tiny assholes.

Putting water pipes into every dwelling unit is a wasteful luxury that speeds up the decay of buildings. If we’re talking about plumbing and commodity shortages we need to have a holistic approach instead of a hyperspecific bandaid approach.

I'm all for public baths, public kitchens, and public toilets but... do you want to tear everyone's plumbing out?

I’m pretty sure the ultimate invention of paper for cleaning anuses happened, at least in the US, in 1791 when the Bill of Rights was ratified.

I'm pretty sure we wiped with leaves and stuff before we invented the hose

And rocks too, people still do when in nature without access to clean water. Of course people also used to (and still do) have pitchers and use that water to wash themselves. Still if im saying it's the better way it really doesn't matter that people used to wipe more than wash (this is a pro-washing post rather than anti-TP).

I don't like getting only my butt wet instead of the whole body. If I wanted my butt wet I might as well take a shower.

Valid but also I feel like comparing washing your asshole to dipping your bottom in water or taking a shower is a little bit excessive.

If we're talking about plumbing and commodity shortages

We're not we're talking about having poopy butts I just threw that stuff in last minute.

Before plumbing people used to wash their ass with a pitcher and people still do it in places where there isn't access to efficient plumbing. I've heard from people that in a pinch a standard water bottle works too though I haven't tried it yet.

Better yet, if you want something on the go. This disc top container works, especially convenient if you have used shampoo containers with it

sometimes need to wipe extra to get what the bidet missed

That's why I prefer bidet shower that way it doesn't miss. If you are using the bidet to only wash your asshole then there's no need for drying but I understand that people may want to dry. This is more of an anti-wiping post rather than anti-TP post I think I lost the plot after the second sentence but we can live in a world where the majority wash their ass and there's still TP left for people that really want it.
