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.

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.
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.
The Japanese toilet uses wash sprayers to act like a bidet. Takes up less room. For some reason, Americans like dirty asses.
99% of Americans have dirty assholes, because they are dirty assholes.
I know bidets and Japanese toilets but the image shown is the latter and not a bidet that's why I'm curious if that definition is a US thing or something, I like learning.
The image shown most definitely contains a bidet.
It's a washlet bidet, which attaches either underneath the toilet seat or as part of the toilet seat itself, and usually has controls that jut out to the right of the seat(to the right from the perspective of the seated person).
The toilet in this picture has a washlet bidet installed.
This is separate from the kind of bidets that are installed separately from the toilet, as is common in many other countries.
That is a fancy one! And a heated seat is amazing in the wintertime!
I saw this Pic and my first thought was "I miss Japan...."
Isn’t having an electric socket right next to active water system is dangerous?
Also thanks for having a clean bum. Bidets should be mandatory.
It must be a GFCI outlet. Ironically many bidets also have their own GFCI plug too lol
I'd be curious to hear if this impacts your energy usage in any appreciable way.
I have mine on a smart plug to monitor it (Emporia). It uses about 3 kilowatts per week. For reference the whole house uses about 100 kwh per week. The cost to operate is similar to my dishwasher.... bidet gets more uses but much shorter durations. The heating element must be really small because that's not much power. It might vary between manufacturers tho.
How much does it draw under load? I ask because I've always wanted one of these, but I'm on solar and batteries so I have to monitor load and usage a bit more closely than most.
You don't have to get an electric one either, lots just work off of existing water pressure. The heating is a nice but optional feature IMO
Appart of the heating options I doubt it's noticeable
And why would one want a warm seat??!
edit: forgot about the dryer, I don't know how it works actually, I have a really basic one without electricity
Japanese buildings often run the heat at low levels in the winter.
You ever sit on a really cold toilet seat?
I tried one with a dryer but I didn't like it. It just ended up circulating poop air and didn't do a good job drying. Maybe other models do it better but a few squares of toilet paper do the job for me.
My dude. You got a good one. This is hardly a dull day.
Especially if the water heater is off.
That's a fancy one. Mine only has two settings, drinking fountain on my butthole or power wash the inside of my colon.
You can buy a separate valve to install between the water supply and the bidet, to limit the super powerful "stab of doom" spray.
Mine was literally the cheapest I could find (Amazon flash sale during COVID for maybe $30?) and isn't even powered, but still manages to have a continuous knob to adjust pressure, along with three buttons for where to aim the spray (butt, front, and self-clean).

Welcome!!!
I seriously do not understand the cultural reluctance to adopting the bidet. After using one it becomes instantly clear how awful the alternative is.
Hi I’m from the TP lobby, but don’t you want to smear poo around on yourself with a piece of paper that will probably rip anyway and get it all over your hand too? 🥺
American Conservatives think washing buttholes is the ghey.
I can't believe people don't want to feel their own buttholes. Smh my head.
I put off getting one for a long time just because I didn't see a problem with the way things were going. If only I had realized sooner how much better life could be.

I was at a friend's house and he has a bidet. Seat warmer automatic lid actuator, and everything. It was nasty, tough, so I started wondering if the bidet actually makes sure to not blast the remains of whomever's last night's taco bell diarrhea straight into my small intestines or if we're poop buddies now by means of involuntary stool transplant.
I mean, stool transplants are good for you (they treat the shit before they give you a pill of shit anyways it's not like bidet shit spatters) I'd kindly tell your buddy his bidet is gross. He'd probably want to keep it clean. Like, if there's something keeping him from cleaning it, he might be sick or something. Need a hand.
A bidet that fancy almost certainly has a nozzle purge sequence prior to commencing the blasting.
my biddet is just the bare minimum, no heating or anything. it’s powered by the water pressure, and the dial has to pass a self cleaning segment both to turn on and to turn off.
Welcome. Others are beneath you now, but remain kind.
Agreed. Those walking around in their own filth are not savages, they just do not know any better.

Christ I see you went all in there... I bought a $30 one. Decided if I need to, I'll upgrade. Never felt the need to upgrade. I just replaced it after like 5 years because it stopped working as well but just bought another cheap one. I see no need to have 8 settings to blow water on your asshole and or clam.
If you were to live someplace cold in winter and tended to drop steamers at night, well, you might make different decisions.
Nah, I just deal with getting a blast of cold fucking water numbing me right up! But yeah, it'd be nice to have one with at least a warm water feature. I could get one but it would just look so weird the way I'd have to tap into my hot water line from the bathroom sink I never found it worth it. Yeah, I could totally run a 4 foot flexible pipe along the wall even turning a corner and then finding a way to conceal it but if I did that, I'd have to add it to the list of other extra ass shit I'd be doing on a rental that I won't be in for long m
