tbh the extent of my Pauly Shore knowledge is that episode of Futurama where Fry thinks he and his former gf think they’ve been frozen again and it’s a post-apocalyptic year 4000, but it turns out that’s just what LA is like

Agreed. Stop flushing wipes, none of them are “flushable”. If it doesn’t dissolve from light manipulation when wet, it’s not flushable.

Bidet. Just get one. They’re like $30 and take 10min to install. Clean buttholes forever.

Yeah same, I got ones that smell like Shea butter, they’re pretty nice. I mean if the store had other ones branded differently with the same wipes I would just buy those lol. I feel like the only ones triggered by the imagery are ironically the guys who are insecure in their masculinity and feel threatened by a literal moist toilette.

I’m a caregiver for a man who needs coaching through the entire bathroom hygiene process and I can say that in my professional opinion, Dude Wipes are terrible. They pull apart just getting them out of the package (see below), let alone when someone with dexterity issues tries to clean their butthole with them. He ended up with a poop covered hand after pulling the bits of pulled apart dude wipe out from his butt.

They are the largest “flushable” wipes, but are smaller than a normal baby wipe. Flushable wipes shouldn’t be flushed anyway, they’re terrible for every type of sewage system.

They’re larger than regular wipes, and the chemicals are less irritating. Compare to cottonelle wipes which make my down there burn, and the choice is easy. These days I prefer crocodile wipes though.

I heard the branding was to help recovering alcoholics, so they don’t feel like they’re “missing out,” and won’t stand out so much with a scary can instead of a water bottle/glass. So they can still crack a cold one with the boys and such.

I’d believe this with how much I see Steve-O drinking it on his YouTube channel. The dude made a point to drive a whole ass vending machine of Liquid Death across the country to his new home lol. At his previous home in California, it was apparently up against the coping of the half pipe in his backyard so you could do trick off of it.

Okay, but their teas are actually pretty darn good and not loaded with sugar. I agree about the water though.

(Although, aluminum is essentially infinitely recyclable compared to plastic, so is probably a better alternative to bottled water)

If you have a local filtered water supplier you can bring a large reusable container and refill water from there. That way you still get the filtered water taste but cut out shipping

My local filtered water supplier is the fucking city I pay taxes to and it’s just fine. I don’t understand why so many people are afraid of tap water. I can download fifty fucking years of water testing data. I can get my home water tested for free every year. And you still have these assholes out here who drink nothing but plastic bottled water because it’s $5 per case from Aldi. That shit should have at least $5 of taxes added to it which go straight to the municipal supply.

I hope you guys are memeing because getting passionately mad over guy branded stuff that we just find kinda neat is a new level of stupid I haven’t been exposed to yet. I want my asshole to smell like mint, so I buy dude wipes. I want canned water to cut down on plastic usage, so I buy liquid death. I want a burger that’s not made of animals so I buy a beyond burger. Beyond what? I don’t fucking know I just want a burger.

I remember reading somewhere that men’s buttholes are tougher than women’s and therefore more resilient to anal sex. It was in a thread though where feminists were complaining about anal sex being degrading and potentially injurious for women, so take it with a grain of salt.

A few years ago my friend’s father passed away. My friend’s mother continued to live in the house for another year or so. She never worked and had to eventually sell the house and downsize.

My friend had referred to her mother as a hoarder before. I’ve seen the reality TV shows about hoarders. But you don’t really understand just how bad the problem is until you spend several days helping your friend clean out their childhood home for sale, filling up several dumpster bags worth of… Stuff. Apparently the mother has always had some mental health problems and a shopping addiction, but spending over a year alone in that house drove her off the deep end.

We could have opened an entire new Harbor Freight store. There were clothes in sizes I didn’t know existed. My wife casually found a pistol just shoved in a random box. It was madness.

My MIL once brought a trash bag full of clothes for my wife, from friend who didn’t want them. Most of them were brand new with tags still on them. We thought it was strange, but they mostly fit and we didn’t think too much about it. Next visit she brings two more big garbage bags of new clothes, and one of the bags had dirt (like actual earth/dirt) on the outside. It turned out that the friend was a shopaholic and had been stashing the bags of clothes under the house so her husband didn’t see, but she was running out of room, and was trying to make space.

We stopped taking the clothes. It felt like taking advantage of someone’s mental illness. Never met the lady, but seemed sad.
