Some people wipe standing and others wipe seated.

Aw shit, not this again

How the fuck do you wipe while standing

Are y'all's elongated prolapsed buttholes somehow just hanging out?

You just put the fabric between the cheeks, I don't see the problem.

Surely you're taking the ~~piss~~ shit

It's more of a squat, hovering over the toilet seat.

Sit in a chair, rest your elbows on your knees, and lift your ass. Now, use the elbow of your non-wiping arm to keep the support while you wipe using the other arm's hand.

Note how that does not involve standing

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You're not standing upright, but standing in a squatting position. Semantics, I guess.

Not standing, then, but squatting, or leaning while seated.

No, it’s higher than a full squat, and you aren’t really leaning on anything. If you want to be super fucking pedantic you could call it a half stand I guess, but the point is your butt is off the seat.

There’s no good word for that position, and you’re doing your best to point out perceived flaws in wording rather than trying to understand.

If someone said the word "standing" to you, that's not what you would picture.

You don't have to lean on anything to lean.

Yes, we're going to "be super fucking pedantic," if you insist on getting bent out of shape about it. First day on the Internet?

OK smart guy, which word would have been better?

Ok but that’s not some universally recognized term, and is more ambiguous than what you objected to. Try again?

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nope. The fallout of that whole literal shitshow revealed that basically everybody wiped their ass in a similar fashion unless they were of the enlightened bidet elite (which is moot because you still gotta dab so you don't get swamp ass).

It's the new term. Embrace. Evangelize. Wipe.

Oh ok so you never had a point that you were capable of defending, lost the plot a couple posts ago, and have now decided that it’s everyone else’s fault.

Welcome to the internet! First time?

I have a bidet like a proper hygienic member of society.
