Just discovered a much easier way to grind my coffee in the morning and felt dumb because it was so obvious, figure there’s some good stories out there about this type of thing out there

    If you have water going to your toilet you should be able to install a bidet seat. Easy peasy.

            You think that now. I used to make butt spray and put it in little spray foam dispensers in the bathroom. You could spray it on toilet paper to make a flushable wipe. It normally has a little lavender castille soap in it but once i accidentally bought the ginger soap and my husband complained that it was too spicy.

              First off, there’s thing called humor. Perhaps you haven’t heard of it, perhaps you don’t see it here. There’s also this thing called context. Earlier comments were talking about cold water. “Cold” varies from region to region. In my area it comes out at about 4° C. I have no problem washing my ass and am not a baboon. Nor am I inclined toward name-calling. I just prefer to use something closer to skin temperature than it is to ice.

        Surprisingly yeah it’s comfortable even in the dead of winter. I think it just doesn’t cover a large enough area to make you feel cold

          My working theory is that the body just doesn’t sense temperature in the butthole very well, because why would it?

              It senses spicy, because spicy isn’t actually a form of taste, but rather just your pain sensors being triggered by a chemical, like for example capsaicin (chilis) or piperine (black pepper).

              Wikipedia says for capsaicin:

              By binding to TRPV1 receptors, capsaicin produces similar sensations to those of excessive heat or abrasive damage, such as warming, tingling, itching, or stinging, explaining why capsaicin is described as an irritant on the skin and eyes or by ingestion.

              So, I guess, the butthole would in a sense be good at feeling temperature, but only for excessive/painful heat.

              But also, people generally report that this problem largely goes away when they start using a bidet.
              So far, the explanation that makes the most sense to me, is that you get micro-scratches from the toilet paper, and then the capsaicin etc. will really be able to irritate the broken skin.

        Toughen up, sunshine!

        No but seriously it’s fine for most people except deep in winter, and you can get a heated add-on bidet if there’s power nearby.
