            Young kids often get them because little kids are filthy they then give them to parents. Even if your kid is clean they play with kids who aren’t.

        That’s what I thought too, until a bunch of angry parents chased me out of the park claiming their kids drink out of there.

        Who lets their kids drink from a bidet?!

          Actually insane. Whenever my friends come over, they always ask why I have a “water fountain” – whatever that is – installed in my bathroom. I point to the faucet in the kitchen and ask ‘em what they think that is. They aren’t too bright, sometimes.

          I don’t let my kids drink from public fountains, either. You know that episode of Parks and Rec where the Pawneans drink from fountains by putting the whole fountain spout in their mouths? I’ve seen that happen. I’ve also seen kids wipes their snot-dripping noses and the touch the spout. I’m glad it’s available, but it’s a last resort.

        Even wipes are better (just don’t flush them, no such thing as flushable wipes, that is a lie they put on the box).

                Let’s put it this way. TP is okay because it dissolves in water.

                Wet wipes are wet. Just get a bidet. Bidet + TP is cheaper AND better than wet wipes anyway, while being basically the same thing.

                Not really, anecdotal evidence would be “I used to flush flushable wipes and my toiled got clogged”. Which wouldn’t be entirely worthless, but even assuming good faith it could have been a coincidence, so not worth a whole lot either.

                Quoting a plumber, who’d be qualified on the subject, is an argument of authority. It’s a bit more reliable as long as you recognize the authority of plumbers over all things plumbing. There’s also room for error through misquoting, and of course like for all arguments, it could be a plain lie. But

                1. This statement seems simple enough to not be easily misquoted.
                2. The stakes of this conversation are pretty low, so unless we’re dealing with a compulsive liar, there’s not much point in lying.

                I’d give this a solid 76% reliable. If I had some wipes I intended to flush, after reading that I’d probably look for more sources online to confirm before I do.

                Expert advice is perfectly relevant but if you prefer you can soak a clean wipe in a bucket and some clean tp in another.

                You will shortly prove to yourself why you don’t flush wipes

          if they’re not flushable then I assume they’re not very environmentally friendly either
