I suppose I don't want to be anywhere in the vicinity of OP with that mindset!

 

I like having a clean ass, there is nothing better than good quality TP except a seat warmer!

Try a Japenese toilet.  Washes and dries you clean as a whistle once you've done your business. So much more hygienic.

I have a fear of water jets lol. I just saw this product this week on a commercial:

"Gentlemans Single Use Bathroom Wipes", brought to you by the dollar shave club. I spit my food out watching that commercial.
 

*Disclaimer: I do not use Dollar Shave Club products nor do I have any affiliation with them. It's just a funny [ok maybe not that funny] commercial.

Ew. Human poop can leave rashes on your crack if left unwiped. No thanks. I’d rather have my ass be as squeaky clean as possible.

if we went back to making paper out of hemp there wouldn't be an issue;

 

hemp grows quickly and is easily to mass produce for cheaper than cutting down trees in a forest that took probably hundreds of years to grow to the size it was...

want to help, then when a tree is cut down, plant a new one in its place.

and wait like a hundred years for that new tree to be as big as the one that was cut down...

 

again, hemp grows super quickly and is possible to grow in mass ..... there is no good reason besides the lumber companies' greed that hemp is still illegal. Hemp doesn't even produce THC like Marijuana does so THAT'S not even a valid excuse...

I'm trying to get my fiancee to stop using so much at once. She's stubborn and says she can't help but use that much...there's a reason why we go through so much in a certain time span. >_<

Trees are a renewable resource.  There is nothing wrong with cutting down trees to make paper, as long as it is done responsibly.

 

Sorry, a bidet is not going to clean well enough.

Depends on the water pressure though?

Oh, I agree but my comment was initially that planting trees will help more than not using TP.  Lots of issues of other issues arise out of that.   Hemp should be legal every where.  Hell, marijuana should be legal every where.  Only reason it is not is because of the lumber industry smear campaign all those years ago.  Much much quicker, and cheaper, to make paper, rope, and many other things out of hemp.  Lumber industry would take a big hit so they prevented that, for a while.

Cannot keep cutting without planting more.  Eventually, the well will run dry with the amount of paper, and other consumables, the world consumes.  Hopefully with more things going digital, that will help cut down.  Would be interesting to see a comparison on things like paper usage in the 90s and earlier as compared to today. 

 

Trees take a while to grow, sure.  But if people replaced as much as they take, eventually we will get to a point where we have a continuous supply.

    • Given only Volume license customers and specific resellers can obtain the LTSC versions legitimately it seems likely that this has been tinkered with quite a lot!
    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.
    • Downloads does not equal actual usage, even less when the app is pre-installed in some Galaxy phones.
    • +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
