I couldn't live without one.
It's so much cleaner and you save so much money and it has other uses too.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

What other uses? Lol
😏
Shouldn't that outlet, be a GFI outlet? Literally to uh, save your ass.
Most likely behind a GFCI outlet. Usually, its the one closest to the door and everything else daisy chains off of it.
Maybe even outlets in other rooms! That's really fun when a random outlet stops working
It could be connected in line with a GFCI outlet or breaker.
You guys don't do GFCI everywhere?
Where are you that they do that? Under water? Lol
Europe, we call it RCCB and it's in the electrical distribution board on all circuits. GFCI isn't only useful in wet conditions, it protects you everywhere where there is the possibility of a circuit between a live wire and the ground with you in the middle.
Although it's an absolute pain in the arse in certain scenarios. Surge protectors essentially present as a leak to earth any time they do their job, so my mandatory RCCBs on every circuit turn minor mains fluctuations into permanent outages.
I really need to see if I can legally run one circuit that isn't RCD protected for my homelab...

Get ready for the experience of traveling, needing a shit and then realizing there won't be a bidet.
You can use a portable bidet. It's not as good as a mounted one but still.
Vacations are so much less enjoyable now. Like it shouldn't ruin my whole experience, but it kinda does.
Go to Japan, ig?
as an arab you couldn't imagine my shock when i travelled abroad and experienced the joy of hemorrhoids for the first time lol
They say travel reveals new sides of your self.
I spend a lot of time working away from the office at sites.
I have a bidet at home and specifically save my shits for when I get home.
My ass just dosnt feel properly clean these days if I have to shit like a commoner.
I once heard the phrase "a water fountain for your butthole" and hear it every time I see one.
I'm so jealous.
For those who hesitate making the investment, portable squirt bottles for this purpose are available for less than $25.
Vietnam has a good way of doing it. You just tee in one of those kitchen sink sprayer heads to the water supply. You could even tee it off from the bathroom sink warm water.
Looks like the spray heads are $11-15, plus a hose and a tee fitting.
India too. Lots of Asia went this route. "bum gun" where I've been. It was a real blessing when I got food poisoning.
Same goes for Thailand, definitely a good cheap option if you got the angle right. Messy otherwise. Always do a pressure check into the bowl if it's a public toilet...

Confused congrats from Germany.
Is that really what you call a bidet? Because our bidets here are unrelated to the toilet and that's a Japanese toilet. The bidet is the one for washing https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bidet.

I wish I could get one. The lease for my apartment specifically says no installing bidets unfortunately
How would they find out?
They come in to the apartment like 4 times a year maybe for alarm / leak checks. Guess I could just uninstall it every time
Mine like the one pictured would be uninstallable on demand , but a massive pain in the ass. I'd probably install it and see if they bring it up. Sort of depends on the landlord and how desperate you are to stay there. IMO knowing nothing of your situation its worth it.
Be warned all other non bidet bathrooms will now be unpleasant.
addon to toilets.
