My wife does this all the time, and if I don't check before I spritz I get an unexpected ball splash.
NSFW for potential topic sensitivity I guess.
Why are you hot linking some google images bidet instead of just uploading the image to the post?
alternatively: why are you linking to an image at all and not just making a text post
Answering both: dial image for reference to what the "modes" are, and my dial is gross. Plus that was the best image I could find describing it, but had trouble getting a clean download. Google images can suck that way. If you get me a clean link, I'd update the post.
Just right click on an image and choose open image in new tab. 99.99% of the time you'll get a plain image. Sometimes you'll have to trim the URL if the site adds properties to the image.
There is no valid reason for the toilet seat to ever be up when you enter the bathroom.
You close the lid before you flush, that's why it exists.
edit: added "valid"
But I like seeing my turds circle the drain
I don't like it, but watching the flush can save a whole lot of pain. Clogs suck.
Flushing isn't exactly silent, though? The toilet getting clogged should make a very noticeably different sound.
This might be different in mostly wooden homes like in the US, but here with stone homes the majority of the noise of flushing comes from the actual water rushing into the bowl plus the tank beginning to refill. The actual drainage causes virtually no noise.
Lol that's not why a lid exists but gj on being confidently incorrect.
Laziness is a reason
Leaving the toilet seat up is moot because the lid should be closed when flushing
I thought the results of later tests was that it doesn't actually make a difference, fecal and urine particles are found on all near surfaces either way?
If you’re referring to the Mythbusters attempt, I think all they proved was that fecal bacteria was everywhere. That’s not the same as saying spewing forth another cloud doesn’t make a difference
I need to join you elves with a bidet. Idk why I'm still living in Mordor.
Same. I think part of me worries it's all I'd ever want to do.
Just get the ones that aren't heated and it'll discourage you from using it too much.
You learn to enjoy the cold, too. Also, it can be one hell of a way to wake up too.
There’s a feminine mode? Aren’t assholes all in the same spot?
Assholes are, but that's not what it's for
Sometimes a spritz to the gooch is just what I need to remember it takes 2 to tango.
Yes but women have a pee hole between their labia and if you don't rinse that then what even are you doing? I'm not interested in walking around with pee-stained lady parts, thanks.
Is the “feminine” mode hygienic? I’d worry about it pushing bacteria and crap up there.
According to my urogynecologist, who specifically instructed me to always point my shower wand downward when washing my nethers, spraying water can indeed push bacteria up there!
It may only be dangerous for the subset of women who have problems requiring a urogynecology specialist in the first place, IDK, but better safe than sorry.
It is most efficient to leave the toilet seat in the position it is used. The same argument applies for the bidet settings.
It is most sanitary to close the toilet lid.
^ This guy's bathroom smells clean.
If a toilet stinks, it's not cleaned properly, there is an issue with the trap or the floor seal is cracked or damaged. If there is a toilet that constantly smells like rotten eggs, it needs to be inspected to ensure sewer gasses are not leaking into your house. (Depending on where you live, water may contain more sulphur which also smells like rotten eggs. That can only be fixed with a good water filter system.)
None of the 7 or 8 toilets that I own stink because they are cleaned and maintained.
It's only "sanitary" to close the lid when you flush it when there is a higher chance that poo water may spray out. Otherwise, water is just going to sit in there and evaporate.
7-8 toilets? Either you have a large house, or are a very enthusiastic toilet collector
Two houses. My first house was cheap enough not to sell when I moved to another state so I keep it as an investment property. It's also the house where I learned how to do most of my own repairs since I was fairly broke back then. Either you pay someone a lot of money to do home repairs or you learn how to fix things properly so they don't break again.
Home ownership is expensive so it pays to learn everything you can about home repair. As a perk, I take pride in my work so I know it will get done properly. However, I'm not perfect and have made my fair share of costly mistakes. Those mistakes taught me how not to be lazy, so that is nice.
Also, I was ripped off a few times by shady service people. That pissed me off enough to learn how to inspect other peoples work and verify that something is actually broken and that a repair cost is valid. (HVAC companies are the fucking worst, btw.)
Parasite
How so?
They're just being a cunt because "landlord", which means they can't fucking read
🙄
Housing is a basic need, not an investment.
It's gonna be treated as an investment for as long as there aren't safeguards to avoid it (extra taxes on secondary homes, homes that are not permanently occupied, etc)
The best incentive to free up these houses would be to increase the financial burden of multi-property owners.
I pay taxes on both properties. To be honest, my old neighbors don't even want me to sell and I may even move back as my career starts to wrap up. I'll gladly ditch the house I am living in now if that is the case.
When I bought the house back in 2008, it was at the peak of the last housing boom. When prices tanked, I was basically stuck with the house unless I defaulted or waited the market out to just break even. Now that I am getting closer to retirement, I can't just give the house away now since there is real equity involved. I am honestly hoping to break even when, not if, the prices collapse again.
We rented it once for way below market prices. The person still managed to cause thousands in damages to the house. After that experience, we are done with trying to rent. We don't want that hassle and we don't want to pay a management company that would force us to charge high rent.
But yeah, I agree. It doesn't make sense for me to sell that home now and there are no extreme financial penalties for me to keep it. If voters decide I should pay additional penalties, so be it. It won't be financially viable for me to keep the house.
Home ownership is not easy or cheap and some people don't understand that. I don't flip houses for a living and I don't own hundreds or thousands of empty homes. Families that own a home or two are not the problem. The issues with housing are at a much grander scale.
Actually some studies were done about that and found that the distribution of bacteria was unchanged in total value the only thing that changed was the positioning of the spread throughout the bathroom with the lid open versus closed.
Unless you get something like an rv style toilet that has a sealing lip the lid actually locks against, but ain't nobody using that in their house
You don't want your balls washed?
Do I need to upgrade my bidet? Ours is one dial for cleaning mode which rotates/plugs the sprayer, and one dial for spray, which is just connected to the valve.
You actually have to switch modes? Mine just has a lever that goes either forwards or backwards depending on which nozzle you want to use.
That lever is how you're switching modes
Sounds like someone has never gotten up to sit inside of an open toilet when it was dark.
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
