We have those in the US as well. They’re meant for women who just gave birth to clean their privates. The hospital gave my wife 3 that we got to take home since they can’t reuse them.
I mean, If a bird shit on me, I wouldn’t consider myself clean if I just hosed it off with water either. Soap needs to be involved. Bidet or TP is just a stopgap until you actually wash your ass. With soap.
Our bathrooms aren’t set up for that in the US at least. The floor is often wood or fake vinyl wood. The only part of the bathroom that is waterproof is the shower/bath.
A bidet only sprays your asshole though? And it doesn’t get it’s water supply from the toilet bowl, it’s hooked up to clean water? I don’t understand why you think any of that happens.
Edit: I read your other comments farther down, so the context changes matters. I get what you were aiming to say.
It’s not a threat, it’s a reality here in the south. You can clutch your accelerationist pearls if you want, but that just leads to LGBT rights going back to the 50’s. I have a friend that’s an LGBT teacher in Florida, she literally committed a felony by acknowledging the existence of LGBT people.
If there’s a revolution in the US it’s going to be y’allqueda instituting a theocracy, not the communist revolution. The only hope is shifting the Overton window back to the left over time. The current crop of Republicans have to be rendered entirely unelectable.
This is the best we can put forward as a nation, a narcissist with dementia, a normal old guy with dementia, and a guy who refused to have his brain tumor investigated and opted to believe the one guy that said it could be a dead brain worm. Also probably with dementia. We’re fucking doomed. I’m still voting for normal guy with dementia, but… Doomed.
The problem I see is bigots using that as cover for their bigotry. “Sorry, this golf club is a safe space for people triggered by black people and women.”
The government would have to decide that the discrimination we like is ok, but the discrimination we don’t like isn’t. Which has incredible potential for abuse when the wrong people end up in charge.
Same here, I was like “wtf do you mean my hardware isn’t compatible? It’s 10 times faster than trashy laptops that come with Windows 11”. What I realized was I didn’t have some DRM shit turned on in my BIOS.
That’s not an insult as the internet has decided. It can be used sarcastically, but in my experience as a southerner it is more often a compliment for doing something nice.
Do you unironically believe that life hasn’t gotten better for literally everyone that’s not a Rockefeller since 1924? I think you may have brain damage. Which is a much more treatable condition than it was in 1920 fucking 4.
This. Leftist candidates won’t be viable until far right candidates aren’t. We’re choosing between “I’ll be a dictator” vs “democracy will continue” and the fascist is a likely outcome. The window has to move left to “democracy will continue” vs “maybe we can make things better”. If you’re holding out for a communist to be elected, that ain’t happening in our lifetime. The revolution is not coming. Revolution only comes when life is utterly intolerable and the capitalists know better than to let that happen.
Our only real hope is to shift things that way over generations.
You certainly can, by actually fucking voting. Not in a single election, granted, but over time. Currently we’re choosing between fascist theocracy and democracy, because people who don’t want to live in a fascist theocracy won’t fucking vote. When they do vote, and fascist theocracy is no longer a viable position, we get to choose between corrupt capitalist democracy or social democracy.
So the path forward is killing people? Because that’s what revolution entails. Once the killings start they tend to be indiscriminate and less about idealism than consolidating power. There’s a long history of revolution, and I can’t think of a single one that didn’t go off the rails and devolve into insanity. What makes this revolution you’re dreaming about different?

He was 30 when he raped my 13 year old best friend and when he got out of prison, continued dating her piece of shit mom instead of fucking off. I’d sooner throw him into a burning building than save him from one.
Liberals not voting is the problem with the US. We sure as fuck aren’t getting national ranked choice voting out of the party of fascism. We aren’t getting any Democrat favored legislation without a clear majority. Not a ‘well the VP can be the tiebreaker in the senate if the 2 right leaning Democrats agree to it’ majority. Not even a ‘well as long as Joe Lieberman goes along we can break the filibuster’ majority is good enough.
Republicans need to be made utterly unelectable before a left leaning party can be viable.
