Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Everyone I've known who has a bidet says they will never go back to using paper. I'm waiting to get enough cash to get an electric one with heat and install a separate outlet for it.
While hot water is definitely better, cold water is still a huge upgrade over tp.
If you have 2 toilets in your house you could consider getting cold water now and then moving it to s spare bathroom. Start converting your friends.
That's a good idea. We have a half bath that is mostly for guests. Would be a good place to try it out.
I have a bidet. I use paper almost every time, honestly.
You have the right plan my friend! Funny enough I’ve had mine for almost 4 years now. I just got around to installing an outlet in the bathroom just for this purpose. I’ve had it powered via an extension cord for a while with some creative hiding.
The powered ones are totally worth it. I had a super cheap unpowered one for 10 years and was happy with it. This Christmas we splurged on a Toto that has the heated seat, heated water, blow dryer, auto-opening lid, air filter fan for smell, etc. It's so much nicer. Not having to touch the toilet lid to lift it up is a benefit I didn't consider but I love it. The heated seat is nice for late night trips to the toilet.
