Explain bidets for me please.
  • They are butt showers.

    You poop first in the toilet and if it was a messy one you use some paper (not all countries' pipes can handle paper though). Then you go to the bidet and clean there. Let the jet hit your hole and wiggle a bit if need be. Use some paper to dry off. Woman will also wash their privates with the bidet after peeing.

    In India and China you also got a hose or just a hose in many places. That requires a bit more finesse due to the risk of giving yourself a shower if you don't aim well. You might even just get a cup which you fill and use to wash yourself manually. You need to carry some liquid soap and sanitizer when traveling in areas that might require this and keep your fingernails cut short. In remote areas it is a hole next to the animal pen and you bring your own paper.

    I got a bidet attachment for my home during the pandemic due to the severe toilet paper hoarding that was going on.

  • Why can't we delete stuff?
  • Ticks and botflies. We don't need maggots making a home in our skin. Even worse is what they do to animals like sheep.

    Mosquitos are mainly an annoyance to me and I can deal with them.

  • Truck bloat is killing us, new crash data reveals
  • I love my Subaru forester. It is nice enough inside to drive 4 people comfortably but with the back seats down and a tarp spread out I can carry a good sized load of mulch, bales, etc. I was even able to cram an 8 ft ladder into it with the passenger seat pushed forward and the ladder laid out diagonally. I've even slept in it. It has enough clearance that I can drive it on really rough forest roads to trailheads. I'm a big guy and it is much more comfortable for me to get into vs something like a Civic. My dad liked it a lot because with his very weak legs he could easily sit in it and swing his legs in and out. He liked it so much he even bought one.

    If I ever need a truck I'll save myself thousands of bucks by just renting one for those rare times. I've done it at Lowe's and it was a no brainer.

    These are cars that are sold on the idea of being able to drive off into the wilderness at a moment’s notice.

    I suspect that is the selling point behind the majority of Jeeps with winches you see on the road that probably have never left pavement.

  • Truck bloat is killing us, new crash data reveals
  • When I had to buy a new car a guy at work who was big into cars asked me what I was getting and gave me grief for not getting a big truck. I asked him why I would want such an impractical and expensive truck for just myself (and I lived in an apartment) and he only gave me macho signaling answers.
