    I’m sitting here with explosive diarrhoea and this would be somewhat worse if my balls could taste.

        I do, yes. Did you miss the “explosive” part?

          Its only a real problem when you have to switch from wiping to patting.

            I prefer my bidet shower.

            Using toilet paper seems so awfully unhygienic in comparison. Like, if you fell face first into a pile of shit, would you want some water, soap and a towel, or… a roll of paper?

              How to tell if someone has a bidet: they’ll tell you about their bidet.

              Side note: I have a bidet. Get one.

                OK aye you got me with that one.

                But also, it’s literally always been a thing here in Finland and I didn’t realise the rest of the planet doesn’t have it but default.

                Like my grandparents bathroom had one before they remodeled it in the mid 90*s.

                But yeah if you don’t have one, it doesn’t cost much. Whats that podcast one for instance.

              I’ll have to take your word for it. I’ve only seen pictures of them.

          I recommend a latrine then. Spread those cheeks and let 'er rip without fear of backsplash or collateral damage.

            Can’t really be arsed to go outside everytime I need a shit.

            I have a bidet shower so having a bit of splashback isn’t such a huge deal. Just remember not to mix up your arse towel with your face towel.

                Definitely recommend.

                It’s standard here in Finland since like… I don’t even know how long. Like literally all apartments will have a bidet-shower. More common than saunas, and those are pretty much standard in everything built around 90’s and later.

                  Speaking of saunas, we’re thinking of getting one, but I don’t know what to look for. Any thoughts? Also, what does maintenance look like?

                    I have no idea how you’d go about “getting one”.

                    Like imagine someone saying “I’ve been thinking about getting a bathroom”. Like… if you don’t already have one… where are you gonna put it?

                    I’m no builder, so I’m not really a good one to ask for info on that. If your bathroom is big enough, I’m sure you can remodel and fit at least a tiny sauna.

                    Maintenance? For my sauna, nothing. There’s an electric stove, wooden paneling and tiled floor. So if anything gets dirty, it’s pretty easy to clean up.

                    Don’t throw beer or spit or piss on the rocks of the stove, that’s about it.

                    My personal maintenance of my sauna pretty much consists of occasionally taking the bidet shower and pointing at the sauna while I’m taking a shit, because I haven’t had a sauna in a while and some dust or others debris (I some times smoke weed in the sauna, good ventilation) is on the floor and I just spray to quickly give the sauna floor a quick rinse so it looks better.

                    If you live on a property though and don’t have space limitations and can build, I think you’re only limited by your imagination and size of wallet.

                    Also, if you’re in the US, I don’t know if electric stoves are that great. Mine draws over 400 volts, and the US grid is 110/120v isn’t it? You can draw up to 240, but we have a 240v by default and can draw upto 480v I think.

                    Ofc if you’re gonna actually build a sauna and can do it, a wood-heated stove is way better in terms of the type of löyly you get. (“Löyly” is what we call the heat that comes from tossing water onto the stove.) With an electric one, it’s somewhat rough and spiky compared to a slowly heated wooden stove, which gives a longer, more gentle löyly. I mean you get good löyly with electrics as well, mine is one, the trick being to put it on slightly lower power but let it warm up longer.

                    Oh you, asking a Finn about a sauna. You knew what you were doing, perkele. Didn’t even notice I lost 20 min there.
