what's happening to our borad TMI

I like my men like I like my unrated special edition DVDs

long and uncut

With director's commentary

I don't think you're supposed to tweeze or wax nose hairs cause they get get infected and it'll spread to your brain and you will die. Science.

now u say

Sometimes when I get nose hairs that are too long and I just yank them out, I'll notice a little pus smell in my nose some time later, so there's probably something to that infection thing. Also for some reason, when I'm stuck there looking at the clump freshly plucked over-long nose hairs in my hand, they always remind me of cockroach legs. So mostly I'll just stick to the trimmers whenever possible. I keep them in my car so I can just take care of that while zooming down the road.

You never know when you'll yank the nose hair that's attached to your brain

lol

To be absolutely clear, I do not subsequently eat the nose hairs.

Unrelated (I think) but we have a bidet in this apartment and it is heavenly

someone just put a bidet up for sale on my lil towns listserv

Thinking about getting one at home tbh, I'm still in bliss

shall I make enquiries

if I have one of these in my home I think I will feel like I've made it

in turkey the western toilets have little water spouts so kinda like that pic. I like bidets more but my wife prefers the Turkish spout.

Feel like I need to go to japan before I can really opine though

yeah asia in general is keen on that set-up, they're leading the way in anal hygiene

we have one of those hand-held sprayers but we use it for spraying shit off of our son's cloth diapers

the spray is fucking powerful, if you use it as a bidet i wouldn't recommend spraying full-strength

bidet your nose hairs and report back

gotta be one w/ the adjustable-heat blow/dryer or nothing at all

Every place I stayed in Singapore and Thailand had a toilet sprayers; when we left the rental apartment in Bangkok one of them had started leaking and my friend left a voicemail for the owner telling him that the ass-hose was leaking because we had no other phrase for them.

"shit sprayer" would do fine as well

"butthole cleaner"

ass gasket

I was blissfully unaware of the concept of open defecation as a cultural phenomenon until yesterday.

whoa what?

toilets w/ no stalls

Toilets would be a start, at least!

And I'm not trying to be all lol @ these wacky people. I'm sincerely surprised at this.

huge deal in india iirc

women are that much more vulnerable to rape because they have to go outside to void

you've not lived til you've seen someone squat down & leave a turd in a public place

one of my friends growing up had a little brother that did it just cuz. his parents called him on it and he said 'i just liked it better than the toilet'.

though the cultural phenomenon is something most common in places of poverty.

srsly?

millions (billions?) of ppl have no access to plumbing/sewage treatment. because they are poor. a real 'cultural phenomenon' would be if they could hold it in -- instead, they are subject to disease and joeks about living

Browsing around and conducting some top-rate investigation of my own via Google.com, it sounds like there are plenty of examples where latrines, outhouses and other supplies have been donated, only to have them converted into storage bins or homes for livestock. Why waste such valuable resources on waste control when you do something useful with it, like keep your grain in it.

I know I sound like my grandmother, and again, I'm not sitting on some high throne dictating my disdain on people in much more dire situations than mine (and yes, I just made that tasteless pun on purpose.) But when there are billions of people living without running water who have somehow figured out how to dig a hole in the ground and cover it, the ones that haven't definitely stick out.

pplains you stick out right now

I live in a country with televised hot dog eating contests. I'm used to sticking out.

feel bad for lazy one-line no YOU suck contribution but don't we just not vividly comprehend this well enough to briskly posit sensible suggestions

pplains you are the best

ftr i was once joey chestnut's sister's boss

i wasn't making light btw - something that affects 15% of the globe and causes scores of deaths of children 5 and under isn't a laughing matter IMO

Oh, I thought this was in or around the Razorback state. I knew about India ffs.

thread about shitting that I started got ilxy

Like, my wife once saw a guy shitting in a bus stop at her community college. Our son was with her in the backseat and, being 3 or 4, had just recently mastered the skill of doing that the traditional American way (in a bathroom ffs). They had a huge laugh about it together. But woah.

I never want to see another human take a shit. I avert my eyes when I'm walking the dogs for god's sake.

w/ dogs i have to watch just to make sure they get it all out. the whole 'fur' issue

i had to clip a toenail yesterday because it was breaking skin on the next toe over and making it bleed

ugh i've had that happen before. exacerbated by working out

Many years ago, I was working at a company in central London. One particular Monday, a new hire had started, so as was the custom for the first few days he was shadowing me on client visits. We were walking down the stairs of the head office, me giving the whole "hey this is a good company to work for and it's in a nice area" speech. Then I opened the front door, and there was a homeless guy squatting down and taking a dump in the gutter. While he's still straining, he looks at us and in a croaky voice says "Don't mind me, mate!".

potd

poop of the day?
