They HAVE caught on in America for years and are a huge problem for metropolitan sewer systems.

it must be city-specific. i've lived in a few different cities in north america and have only seen the men's ones maybe once or twice. so i usually use the women's ones, which are available everywhere.

Oh, I've never noticed a gender specificity. I'm just talking about generic wet wipes.

how's life, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 19:35 (ten years ago)

You use 'em after toilet paper during any duece and the rest is chill. Also great for a quick clean up of your face, hands, armpits, and dude regions.

I feel like anyone who actually is going to pay money for these are going to need much more explicit directions than this.

pretty self-explanatory, do a deuce, grab a wipe, swab the hole the face the hands the pits the junk, DONE

xp

maybe i just assumed the generic wet wipes was a women's thing? whoops.

at any rate, it's good news!

now if we can get bidets installed in every toilet in the us/canada!

F♯ A♯ (∞), Tuesday, 29 September 2015 19:38 (ten years ago)

tbh they never caught on in the US because it clogs up plumbing and americans are grossed out by the idea of something with poo on it being in their trash can

μpright mammal (mh), Tuesday, 29 September 2015 19:51 (ten years ago)

...and rightfully so?

pplains, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 20:05 (ten years ago)

can't they make them flushable? it says flushable on the packaging

F♯ A♯ (∞), Tuesday, 29 September 2015 20:11 (ten years ago)

Oh wait, you're probably not supposed to use a dozen at one time, are you?

pplains, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 20:13 (ten years ago)

it's flushable if you have excellent plumbing, your city has a sewer system in amazing condition, and a water treatment plant that is in tip-top shape

I think nowhere in north american qualifies. Especially not apartment buildings.

μpright mammal (mh), Tuesday, 29 September 2015 20:14 (ten years ago)

it's flushable in the sense of "if we write 'flushable' on the package people will buy it, and our other division sells liquid-plumr"

μpright mammal (mh), Tuesday, 29 September 2015 20:15 (ten years ago)

well, i've been flushing them in my last three apartments, and have never had a clogged toilet, knock on wood.

ugh. i wonder if they're causing some other problems down another pipe for other people

F♯ A♯ (∞), Tuesday, 29 September 2015 20:18 (ten years ago)

it's a safe bet

somewhere there is a tiny plumber in overalls with a giant mustache shaking his fist at you

actually it is an electronic washlet. they advertise in japanese magazines and sites here in la. it's a toilet seat that goes on the toilet. i'm sure amazon has some, as well

I Am Curious (Dolezal) (DJP), Tuesday, 29 September 2015 20:38 (ten years ago)

it's more of a squirt but you can adjust the strength

Seriously, this could be a BOSE ad in Parade Magazine, circa. 1992.

one month passes...

I think this 1982 milestone hasn't been in the thread yet:

Everyone talks about the Atari and Pan Am logos in Blade Runner. I think one of the biggest anachronisms is in the beginning during the narration, where Deckard says something like, "My ex-wife used to make me eat sushi."

Like, sushi and quiche were in the same pussy boat, as far as 1982 was concerned. Even people in 2017 knew that.

Anyway. Don't forget the sequel:

Bruce Feirstein is a hella gay name.

how's life, Tuesday, 17 November 2015 18:30 (ten years ago)

never understood this abt quiche. eggs, meat/veggies/combo, cheese, and pie crust. nothing on this list is definitively un-masculine and it is easy as fuck to make. literally just mix all that shit together and throw it in the oven, in 30-45 mins u have a healthy protein rich meal that took minimal effort and also is delicious.

just saying, fucking quiche

INTOXICATING LIQUORS (art), Tuesday, 17 November 2015 18:48 (ten years ago)

quiche is french ergo it is gay

Οὖτις, Tuesday, 17 November 2015 18:49 (ten years ago)

and what could be less masculine than two men having sex with each other

Οὖτις, Tuesday, 17 November 2015 18:50 (ten years ago)

Two men having sex with a quiche.

Beezbo's Magic Does It Again! (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 17 November 2015 18:51 (ten years ago)

I dunno, one of them having a vagina?

pplains, Tuesday, 17 November 2015 18:53 (ten years ago)

Yes, you're right, a man with a fully-functioning female reproductive system is probably the least masculine thing I can think of.

Beezbo's Magic Does It Again! (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 17 November 2015 18:55 (ten years ago)

What about a quiche with a vagina?

downfall as in the film about Hitler? If so great film (mattresslessness), Tuesday, 17 November 2015 18:56 (ten years ago)

Be a crepe, don't eat one. #realmen

Pancakes are masculine, crepes are not. Apple pie is masculine, eggs in a pie crust are not. Clearly and unsurprisingly, eggs seem to be the emasculating culprit.

μpright mammal (mh), Wednesday, 18 November 2015 01:03 (ten years ago)

two weeks pass...

yeah uhhhh I think at this point in history you reaaaaally need to recalibrate yr ideas of masculinity (which is gendered) if you think it's inextricably linked with reproductive systems (which are biological)
