An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I have been trying to talk my wife into getting one for ages. Anyone have a good argument I should try next time?

My favorite glib argument in favor of bidets is "When you get poop on you, do you wipe it off or wash?"

Honestly though they're cheap, easy to install, feel great (clean), and save money. And if she doesn't want to use it she doesn't have to.

Plus you get the joy of hearing the yelp from unexpected cold water on the anuses of your guests when they try it for the first time.

Luxe bidet is the brand I use, nothing fancy to the model I use at all. (Clearly as it's not even warm water.)

I probably should have mentioned we share a bathroom with two kids (small house). So her main concern is that children would play with it. (7 and 2)

[–] Pronell@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Oh.

Yes.

Kids would turn it on and a jet of water would hit the ceiling. Look into other models, hehehehe.

Just get one, put it on and use it yourself, you can get one that spins on the supply line and hangs off the side of the tank for like $40. Once you've started washing your asshole instead of suffering with TP and a constantly dirty chocolate starfish, you'll never go back. She might use it and realize the same.

Why not just get one? I did and my wife is hesitant so she doesn't use it but me having and using it doesn't affect her at all. I think it was only $30 or $40 on Amazon.

Edit: saw your reply about sharing the bathroom with young kids and yes that could easily be an issue.

[–] TheMinions@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah if we had our own separate bathroom I’d do it for sure.

Time to convince her to build a poopin' shack out in the backyard.
