I’m not sure about EU specific but I’m currently using a Tushy brand bidet and it’s extremely simple and wonderful and their website and manuals are full of shitty puns! Also, consider one with a feminine setting as I’ve heard they’re extra helpful.

You just use toilet paper to dry

I was reluctant to get a bidet because I couldn’t hook it up to a warm water line, and was pleasantly surprised when I realized buttholes really aren’t that temperature sensitive. Even in the dead of winter, cold well water shot straight up the butthole doesn’t feel cold or shocking at all. Probably impossible to believe unless you try it yourself.

Also, don’t be a monster and dry your butthole with a towel. Just use a little bit of toilet paper so if you’re still dirty, it’s okay. It’s not like your whole rear-end gets soaked, it’s a very thin steam of water that targets just your butthole, with maybe a tiny bit of spray on the surrounding area

You can get ones with heated water and warm air drying capability (they are more than $30 though)

It’s only surprising or strange the first time. If you aren’t acutely aware of how the water of a shower hits your skin every time you shower, then you won’t notice the bidet more than the first or second time.

Using one just like op described for a year. No issues. I miss it now when I have to poop away from home.

Get with bidets, America!

I’m struggling to imagine how a bidet could damage pipes.

What? I think you’re referring to wet wipes

I think you’re thinking of “flushable” wipes. Bidets are different

That’s because I Google this question every day and reply to all of them.

For good reason. We can’t imagine going back to having a dirty asshole and we want you to join us

So Reddit except socially inept pissy communists instead of socially inept pissy liberals.

I wish there was a <3 option instead of just upvote

It is a pc, it’s gaben maintaining your arch. And it has officially supported replacement parts. And the thermals are great and power usage almost optimal. And it’s a kickass console as well that you don’t have to re-buy games for and can run emulators and still use all input as you like.

It is essentially a full fledged PC. It uses the same AMD APU (CPU with built in GPU) as the PS5 and Xbox, has expandable storage. There are other similar and more powerful competitors but the steam deck has the best price and has out of th box support for a shit load of games using Steam. It also user serviceable.

Before the unreal engine 5 update it ran great. Haven’t tried after, though, could still be ok.

I have a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard setup on my deck to run fps and 4x games, hell most of the games, and satisfactory ran great on the deck(my only reference point is a 5 year old laptop that continues to chug along, satisfactory ran as well, if not better, on the deck than it does on the laptop)

I didn’t even think about how you can “spend” time with others using handhelds. I like this idea :)

Hey I think I got that same one, at least it was also was $15 and from Anker. Some of the outer plastic is rubbing off though so I’ve been looking for a new one. Unfortunate not many companies make good quality vertical mice - the only one I’ve seen that seems well built is the logitech mx vertical.

I have been a left hand mouser at work for probably 15-20 years.

An early data entry job made my right wrist prone to soreness from mouse use. I am very much right handed, but left hand mousing 90% of the time feels totally natural now. If I’m at going using the mouse on the right, it’s usually for photo editing or PC games.

I carry a 40 pin connector adapter as well

Which is why I said it’s not everybody’s cup of tea. The only people who would want it are people with accessibility issues who can’t/don’t want to use speech-to-text, and techies really interested in increasing word output. The problem is, even among that demographic, it’s barely known.

The chording part is actually fully inspired by stenographers!

Can I offer you a nice egg in this trying time?

Oh, you have got to try Soylent+ they really upped the proportion of adrenochrome in the new formula

Eh, it varies from person to person.

It’s skin advice, lol. If you’re looking to rip hair out, sugaring is the far superior choice. I get a Brazilian sugaring done ever 5 weeks, and I pop right out of my appointment without pain or any of the other waxing ill side effects.

Wax sticks to the top layer of your skin, so when the hair is ripped away, so it the top membrane layer. This leaves you more susceptible to infection, also, it fucking hurts. Sugar just sticks to your hair and leaves skin intact.

Wax uses paper strips, so much more waste. You use the same sugar for the whole appointment, no paper is used.

Wax uses a higher heat point to work, which is why so many people get burns when waxed. Sugar uses a much cooler heat point, so it won’t burn you.

I just don’t see any pros to waxing over sugaring. Some people claim sugaring lasts longer, but if it does, it’s not enough of a noticeable difference, imo.

I get a Brazilian done, so I go to a professional to do it. I know you can do it at home, and I might try my legs or pits that way. But not a Brazilian, lol. I do know it’s easy to make. Googling how to make it will show lots of results.

It’s a meme.

I’ve had 2 cars under dealer extended warranty, and both warranties have paid for themselves in double. I wouldn’t get a warranty/insurance outside of the dealer except for expensive electronics.

Literally carry one every day. 90% of the time, when it gets used it’s not a need, but it was really nice to have. If you drop a screw or something small, you can either crawl around looking for it for 5 minutes, or you can shine a flashlight across the floor and see the shadow in 5 seconds.

I watch literal doctors and mechanics try to finagle their phones with the light on into weird places and I have no idea why more people don’t carry a flashlight.

Sure, not everyone needs one, but if your job depends on needing extra light on a regular basis…

Flashlight is essential for winter in rural places, for working on cars or lighting up awkward places. I’d rather put in place a torch or flexi torch and have it fall over instead of my mid range phone which may lead to the screen scratching. Generally too, using my phone where I need a torch simply exposes my phone to risks.

Phone flashlights are optimized for photos. They don’t shine very bright for example. You need to see even a good 30€ flashlight. Super bright compared to that. Also if you are in a situation that means you need to have battery on your phone, using the flashlight drains it a lot. Also on some flashlights you can use as a powerbank. For someone living in a city, it’s maybe not it but if you are even a bit remote or like to do hiking or something its super useful. Idk I probably have read too much r/flashlights. It’s like collecting knives man.

It’s pitch black, below 5c, snowy and windy. I’d much rather fondle my testicles when walking the dog, instead of holding my phone out. Head lamp is the way forward.

You have nothing to lose but your chains

We used it for things like cheese sauce. Never tried actually whipping it, but for savory meals it did the trick just right

I used to work in the catering industry and have seen almost every chef use it interchangeably with cream when they needed plant based options. It works great

The US also has this. It’s delicious.

People who strongly oppose plant based meat alternatives use the same argument. As if that’s the only food people ever eat in a single meal, single day, or even a single week.

Nobody’s eating cream for the micronutrients
