I just gotta say I’m really confused by the “you don’t need TP” angle of bidet shilling, like I am a bidet user and a bidet shill but I still have to use quite TP to dry off down there and sometimes need to wipe extra to get what the bidet missed despite my 30 seconds of ass-wriggling.

All the toilets where I am from have a bidet and we do wash our bits with them. At least all who I have done bidet discourse with do.
Even public toilets have them and it would be incredible miserable to exist in the world with periods if they didn't.
But I still need TP as a person without a personal hose for peeing. It's also nice to dry things up with after the washing and then there's the period stuff. This post seems to ignore that not everyone has similar plumbing.

I bought a bidet and am never going back. Sidenote: were you here for the bidet struggle session where a user decided bidets were bourgeois?

the canadian toilet paper lobby has controlled every major political and media figure since 1900 in the west, to ensure the steady consumption of their product. where do these massive profits go? nobody knows, but some suspect the canadians are building a weapon underground in north sasketchewan
Between the state of our water in some zip codes and how the general US treats public bathrooms, I think more bidets would just cause more public health issues.
Trust me I've seen some bad water and bad public toilets, it doesn't cause any issues.

There is pretty much no excuse, bidets are like $40 and easy to attach/detach so no prob if you're renting
i really want one but my partner has no gall bladder and blah blah gross stuff basically i'm afraid it will get really dirty and poopy from backsplash. i have to clean and bleach our toliet down every 2 days.
will that add complicated nooks and tubing to clean basically?
You can watch an installation video it seems simple enough it's just a piece that goes over your toilet bowl and there's a tube connected through a tee connector to your water supply. Otherwise if you can't get it im sorry that you can't experience the pure bliss of having clean ass.

Clean my ass with water?!? Absolutely not. Fish fuck in water.

Id install one if i ever owned a place
$30 bidet from Amazon can attach just fine to pretty much any toilet and easy removal
Ive bought and installed my own when I rented. They're really easy to plug in to the toilet water and just unscrew when you move out.
Does it really require permission from your landlord? It's just a piece of plastic that goes between your toilet seat and the toilet bowl. It takes like 5 minutes to install.
I have no idea. But the Chinese don't either which is an uncommon L for them. Some places do have a Japanese style toilet but in my opinion they suck. The pinnacle of anus cleaning technology is the bum gun, used throughout South east Asia
One of the first Muslims to venture into China in the 700s said the Chinese were disgusting because they didn't wash up after defecating and instead rubbed paper on their butts.

Having doodoo asses
Chinese don't either
I didn't know about that. I change my mind the PRC are the bad guys now.

We are simply not civilised enough for that kind of advanced plumbing.
Also, won't somebody think of the poor landlords who would have to pay for installing the bidets.
In my utopia, there will be no landlords but all the bidet that a comrade could need.
First thing i did in my apartment was buy a bidet, took 3 minutes to hook up.
In my home country there's a separate bidet station you move to and wash your booty

don't know where that water's been
So it's okay to drink that water but the moment it touches your ass it becomes a problem?
it's not ok to drink water
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

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.
Idk i can clean my butt with toilet paper. I agree with the other reasons but i don't smell like shit all the time.
Honestly getting a bidet never entered my mind as an option until the yks guys were talking about them. Never got around to it
Idk i can clean my butt with toilet paper.
Yeah me too but I always have to waste what feels like a lot of toilet paper. Washing your ass is objectively superior, I just can't be fucked to install a hose into my toilet and it's almost never an option to me anywhere I go.

Even if you can clean a bidet is still better cause you wouldn't have to pay a premium just to avoid the single-ply ones that fall apart instantly. I haven't run the numbers but imagine all the beanis you can buy with all that TP money saved over your lifetime.
Yeah i know the bidet is better, maybe when I'm back from out of town work I'll buy one for the family shitter.
A bidet, until very recently, had only been presented as a japanese novelty toilet gadget in any media i consumed anyway. This is my guess as to why Westerners don't use them

I never understood the luxury Japanese toilet trope in movies and TV. Are the workers in America so exploited as to not be able to afford a piece of plastic that goes over their shitter? Ludicrous.
