How does the old saying go?

Ah, yes: “This is funny because it is true”

An old meme, with a beautiful new spin.

I’m lovin’ it!

Laughs in posting on the arXiv 😜

Off topic shout out: why not Chaco sandals for home and/or for going out?

It’s off topic, but OP mentioned having used sandals, so he can maybe consider them a good option

This is so deliciously nerdy

Nomen omen?

That hits too close to home…

I know it’s a meme, but I can’t resist saying that if you check his website out, you’ll see he has all of his books and drafts available entirely for free and he also says he’s agreed with the publisher to cap the book’s price to something reasonable (which used to be true, I haven’t checked now).

He’s also nice in person, if you talk to him!

It’s too bad that the meme is right and his legacy will be not having given solution to any problem 😁

Edit: fixed grammar

Goddamn you, I started laughing loudly and people stared at me. Have an upvote!

I’ve read it this year for the first time. It’s fantastic. So short and so powerful.

So are there any good news in this respect?

Rewind

I’ve been a lurker on Reddit for forever (about 15 years) and then the APIcalypse happened and my first and unique post on Reddit was asking for a Tildes invite. I didn’t enjoy Tildes, so now I’m here. We’re so much less that I feel I can’t lurk here too, so now I regularly comment here.

I was scrolling down to see if anyone said this, since it’s been the case for me so far. I have to say lately I’ve seen a raise in unfriendliness (not referring towards me, but in general), but I suppose it’s inevitable.

I’m still really happy with how people interact with me and with each other, and I haven’t felt that on Reddit for a while (am referring to both pre APIcalypse and after, though I now visit Reddit rarely)

Condiment King

You’re talking to me or the guy above?

Care to elaborate either way?

There’s one thing I haven’t read yet in the previous answers: after you s**t you still wipe your ass with toilet paper before using the bidet, and you do it pretty well too.

When you get to use the bidet, your butt is already pretty clean, but washing it with a bidet makes it entirely clean and feels really nice.

You use a towel right after using a bidet, which is why you see one hanging right by a bidet in most (if not all) bathrooms with a bidet. This prevents spraying water everywhere after you’re clean.

Also, when you use it once, you learn how strong you want your water stream to be, not to wet the whole bathroom. You do the same the first time you wash your dishes (if your faucet shoots water too strongly, you wet the kitchen beyond the sink)

Also: those who use bidet go through a rigorous training to master its practice and transmit it’s secrets orally to the next generation.

Bonus: Crocodile Dundee VS a bidet

You just reminded me of this awesome bot on Reddit called “please respect tables”.

There is still a subreddit about this, though it’s been abandoned

Please respect tables

It would be fun to have it here too! 😄

I believe we’re called “Lemmings”.

Besides that, I think OP is asking whether certain communities could be joined together (say one mirrors the other, or one redirects to the other), but I suspect this cannot work the way the Fediverse works.

Still, an excellent question!

I’m doing my part!
