OK it's finally time for me to get answers from bidet-havers because I've had questions for years.

1. doesn't a bidet just leave your bum wet, necessitating a wipe with toilet paper anyway?

2. Surely the jet isn't powerful enough to truly scour off all kinds of poo poo. What if you have a particularly sticky poo poo, does it still leave your bum spotless? Or are there occasions when toilet paper has to step in as the emergency backup option?

3. I like toilet paper because I can use the final wipe to verify cleanliness (I look at it and the paper is clean), how do I do that with a bidet?

1: yes but you are sitting there for 15 minutes on your phone anyway so just drip dry

2: it can go from gentle stream to a blast so hard it’s half enema

3: no verification needed because it’s not tp

I always assumed activist investors are looking to juice maybe one quarter of insane revenue before they cut and run from the skeletonized business but it could be that they just like destroying corporations and rolling around in the ashes for fun, it's genuinely hard to tell the difference

in theory an activist investor might just gut management or strip out people working bullshit jobs (like me) without loving with labour as much to make a company profitable and then hold onto it like icahn did to ACF but these days it's all leveraged buyouts, stripping the company assets, then pulling the ripcord to get out

the UPS threat is getting a lot of coverage bc it's a very immediate threat to capital. But yeah most strike actions don't make a blip in major media bc they don't want people to know it's happening more frequently, in larger volumes across a variety of industries, and improves workers conditions. Those are dangerous lessons

How much coverage did the UC strike get last year? Most people I bring it up with (east coast) have no idea it happened, and especially don't know that UC has been retaliating against union members in the last few months with police harassment

As a midwesterner I barely saw anything about the UC strike, I was vaguely aware of it but didn't follow it too closely and didn't hear much chatter about it. I assume since unlike UPS and WGA/SAG major media can't spin it as something that will hurt everyone.

the problem isn't the stuff that can just go in a dishwasher anyway, it's splatters and cookware. for me at least the real heart of the problem is that 99% of home kitchens are not designed to accommodate cooking with appropriately high heat.

Big bidet guy here. If you got poo poo on your hands, would you just wipe it off with paper?

1. You’ll have a wet butthole, but the stream is surprisingly accurate and it’s easy to dry off with a few squares of TP. The nicer powered bidets even have little heated dryer fans if you’re down to linger for a minute.

2. It’s definitely powerful enough. The cheaper un-powered, unheated units (like Tushy or LuxBidet Neo) are actually so powerful on standard home water pressure that it feels like you could strip paint with the valve open more than halfway. I’ve had bidets for years now, and no poo poo has ever defeated it.

3. As others have mentioned, you would still do this, with the difference being that 99% of the time this would be your first and final wipe to dry/verify cleanliness. I regularly go a month+ on the same roll of TP. I can’t remember the last time I bought a pack.

If you have a power outlet near your toilet, I highly recommend something like this:
