YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Why YSK: It's cleaner, cheaper and more convenient than toilet paper

I'll never understand how people live without a bidet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I've never used a bidet, are you wet in your ass after leaving the toilet, or do you whipe the water off with toilet paper?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You dry off with toilet paper.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A lot of it too if you don't have the air dryer ones. I must have used like 10 pieces per wipe like 3 times because of how wet it gets me.

Sounds like a shredded mess, wouldn't paper towels be better?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just pat it dry. Also, you shouldn't flush paper towels.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think I'm just over exaggerating how much water the bidet uses in my head. Don't worry I'm not that dumb lol I was thinking of putting the paper towels in the trash can. Maybe they make toilet paper different in countries that use bidets? If I use american toilet paper to dry myself, I'd have shredded wet toilet paper all over me. They rip at even the sight of water.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Most women dry themselves with toilet paper, even if they don't use a bidet. Maybe it's just the brand you use?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

We have little towels for drying off. They have a bin under the sink for when they are used and they get washed before reuse.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I just drip dry. it's not like your whole ass gets wet

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I like to use toilet paper to get the bulk of it, then use wet wipes after.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Shouldn't flush those either.

Get a bidet, at worst you waste like $30, at best you will know true comfort.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

You convinced me, I will try it one day when I have $30 to use. (Probably be a while lol) My method works well, but it takes a while. I'd rather use a bidet if it saves time.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

As someone who born to a country where a bidet is the norm and migrated to a country which doesn't have it. We start to use wet wipes and believe me when I say it a bidet is way way way better. So I bought an attachment. Now I can't use any other toilet except that one.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

How dare you! Jajajaja. I guess everyone can do it as pleased

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lol at least I made progress. I was taught to just use toilet paper when I was a kid. Now if I have to do that, I feel so dirty

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I feel quite the opposite. Hear me, if you stick your finger in penut butter and just clean it with paper, you can still taste it if you suck it. But of you wash it with water your truly clean. But didn't want to sound like I was criticizing. Cheers

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I agree, I don't feel right if I don't use wipes now.
