    If toilet paper can cause scratches on that hard material, it must also be causing damage to the skin. Does it really need to be that tough a material to do its job?

    You should instead use Toto brand toilet wipes. 39.99 for a value pack of 15!

      (un)expected factorial? 1,30767e12 wipes seems like a lot. I guess you never specified currency, but at an average cost of 3,0581e-11 per wipe, I’ll assume that that’s a pretty decent deal.

        Well, that would be good value! (there’s also an Excel joke just there but now I’ve ruined it). In this case, I was using the symbol to denote emphasis in linguistic terms and not embiggen a number.

          Yeah I figured you meant the linguistic rather than the mathematical sense of the !, but I chose to intentionally misinterpret that for comedic effect.

          Would you mind explaining the excel joke? I’ve spent very little time using that program (I’ll leave it up to you to decide how fortunate I’ve been), so I don’t really get it

            Well I cannot check, I’m in Linux right now. But I’m fairly sure when there’s an invalid value for conversion or other function the cell shows the text “VALUE!” in it.

        Now you run into the problems of minimum order quanitities that make it impractical for an end user to acquire the product. The costs of transporting, warehousing, and eventually disposing the vast majority of 1,30767e12 wipes will far exceed the initial purchase price.

    Every public bathroom I’ve used has pee all over the toilet seat. I don’t understand why guys don’t either use the urinal or sit on the toilet, why piss on the seat?

      It isn’t necessarily intentional.

      A lot of dudes have no idea how to actually aim their junk. Other times, you might get an unexpected spray. They might be in a hurry and just not aim beyond facing the toilet. And you’ve got splashes from usually forceful urination. There’s probably people that do it intentionally.

      The real question is why the fuck they don’t clean up after themselves.

      It’s not always pee. One of the public restrooms I’ve had the displeasure of using repeatedly (it’s on campus in a building I frequent) has toilets and urinals with extremely high pressure flush action. Every time you flush the pressure is so violent that they spray water all over the place, including on the seat and all over the floor. They’ve been like that for years and never fixed.

      What’s especially rich is that there’s sign above the urinals which says “your aim is appreciated” which makes me laugh every time. I’m so careful using the urinal not to spill even a single drop on the floor, then I flush the damn thing and it makes a huge mess!

      Probably because the last guy pissed all over the seat, and they didn’t want to sit in piss

      I always wondered why too; maybe they think it’s “gay”? Or possibly playing Fireman Sam or something?

      Probably also kids. The urinals tend to be to tall for them to use and they don’t have great aim.

      Or at the very least lift the seat.

      Guessing they also don’t close the lid so they get to spray themselves with whatever’s in the bowl when they flush. And then don’t wash their hands before leaving.

        The amount of public toilets with lids is not 0, but it’s approaching that limit in the percentages… It’s one of the reasons I don’t leave home without my 10-foot pole.

      I’ve seen evidence of people doing long range pee with the seat down in the UK when I went to visit.

      Urine is sterile. And by washing the seat with piss, you’re performing an antibacterial favor for the next guy.

      Because men are disgusting horrible creatures who should be shot into the sun without trial. In the men’s room, that is.

      At home they’re probably fine. Maybe. It depends.

    The Washlet, Toto’s flagship bidet toilet, includes features like an automatic lid, an air dryer and pressure controls for the bidet’s water stream.

    For some reason I read “Hair dryer” and started picturing people putting their head in the toilet to dry their hairs
