There, I did it. Let's get all these into one thread.

Ok, so I've been moistening TP for a long time now. But what's the proper bidet etiquette? Anyone a pro?
Also, anyone a pro with the traditional Asian setup? IIRC, in less developed parts of Asia you'd find a large trough of water, a small pale, and a bar of soap. What is to be done with these three tools?
I'm going to talk about complete random stuff in this thread, just to annoy you.
Today I said "thank you" to the bin men, just for being at work during this time.

If I did though I'd wet some paper, clean as best I could, then dry with other paper.
Bidet etiquette - no idea. Third world ass hygiene - don't even want to think about it.Quote:

The only thing that makes toilet paper a grey area is that in a pinch you can pretty much use anything to wipe your ass. An old sock, for example. Can't really brush your teeth with an old sock though.
So, no different from any other thread then?Quote:

Doesn't really get them clean though in my experience.Quote:
Old socks are my first port of call. For arse wiping, of course.
For teeth brushing, well a toothbrush with no paste is better than nothing.
Also, what about shampoo? Do you use dish soap or hand soap? Is there something special about why it gets used on the hair is my point. Or is it just soap with a bit of perfume added.
Think you're taking this anarchy thing a bit far.Quote:

Chewing gum is decent backup toothpaste, by the way. Sugar free, obviously.
Yes, girls. And guys who want clean hair.Quote:

I will say, I'm terribly jealous of your regularity though. Occasionally I'll get it locked in like that, but then it gets interrupted, and it's all over the place.
itt: people acting confused about how water works.
Wash your filthy asses you animals!
I just farted. I best go clean my arse.
Poo water does not run down my leg. I always have a clean drop.Quote:

(I use Charmin, BTW, not some damn hippy extra-biodegradable-for-your-latrine TP, neither.)
Though these days, I'm about to be using whatever sandpaper is left on the shelves.
:(
Yeah, I definitely am putting my money with you-- but I was pointing out her possible outs only to show how likely it was she was hoarding/price gauging.
I use red Charmin. I always fold, never scrunch. But yeah, I've probably unconsciously developed a dexterous technique over the years. But come on, you're a smart guy, you know your butthole isn't clean with just dry paper.Quote:

Nipsy.
Lol.
Nipsy refers to specifically the sphincter, whereas the arse is the surrounding area. For example, you might say to a lady friend "you have a fantastic arse" but you (probably) wouldn't say "you have a fantastic nipsy".
Back to hoarder lady:
There's a difference between hoarding and profiteering. Unless that woman and her entire family all have chronic explosive diarrhea, there is no way she needs all that tp herself. Just like that guy who bought all the hand sanitizer on Amazon, then was selling it out of his garage. She was almost certainly taking advantage of the situation to try to make a buck at others' expense.
And in this case, there certainly is a clear expense incurred by people having to go around during a pandemic to find tp. Ergo, whether she was acting within the law or not, she's a cunt.
Not sure I agree. Some people might think this is a SHTF situation. It still might turn out to be. If someone thinks society is about to collapse, they might want a lifetime's supply of bog roll, since there is no obvious way to create your own. You can grow food, you can filter water, but how do you make bog roll?
Probably it is profiteering, but it's not a given.
Even if it were SHTF, what right would she have to grab more than her share of the world's remaining supply of tp? Is she someone special? No, she's not, fuck her.
And giving more thought to camera lady:
I'm guessing her state of mind went something like: she walks up to the store and sees hoarder lady coming out with 2000 rolls of tp, gives her a funny look, and hoarder lady tells her (by her account) to mind her own business.
Now, instead of saying 'look, you selfish fucking slut, how about not being a cunt and trying to make money off of this situation', and walking away, instead she decides to make it personal and take out her camera and film hoarder lady so she can shame her on the internet, as a way of getting revenge.
So really, camera lady's being a selfish cunt herself, putting her own desire to 'win' the confrontation above the common good. So yeah, fuck her too.

She already has every right to do it, it's legal. Rights and morality are not the same thing. But let's replace your word "right" with "moral basis" and I respond on that basis.Quote:

She might not want a lifetime's supply of bog roll, she might simply see it as an excellent bargaining product in a future anarchic economy. There are better products to stockpile, salt being one, but bog roll will be a high value product because nobody wants an itchy arse all day long.
And as far as she is concerned, yes she is special. If SHTF for real, I'm special, so are my family and close friends, and fuck everyone else.
I think TP is a terrible good to build your post apocalyptic power base from, unless you plan to trade up while more optimistic people are under valuing their salt, ammo, guns, horses, etc.
That being said, I'm mostly with Ong wrt a shit hitting the fan scenario. I don't actually think morality goes out the window though. Morality is useful for societies. If shit hits the fan, society doesn't go away, it simply fractures. Now your society is your family, your friend group, the group of survivors you happen to fall in with, etc.
We're a social species, and we'll always try to build a better society, so moral actions will ultimately pay social dividends. It's just that morals are context dependent.
It depends on the level of SHTF. Morality is important if you're in an anarchic society that revolves around community, and I'd like to think that's where we'd be. On the other hand, if it's every-man-for-himself, well then the survivors will be those who have no morality.
Personally, I'd bank on community. If it's EMFH, I'd rather die sooner than later, as it wouldn't be a very nice world to live in at all. At least with community, life is still enjoyable.
I'm with you almost completely-- my only objection is that I don't think EMFH is a possible reality. Even in the face of the 40-60% mortality rates of the black death, social cohesion didn't give way. We're social creatures, and we're always going to be attracted to other humans. But obviously this is just speculation on my part and my mind may just not be capable of conjuring up the parameters that would cause a true EMFH scenario.Quote:
