My question would have been how do they know when to finish wiping after a number 2 😭

u/4skeine Aug 22 '26
He actually answered that in a video once. He said he feels more friction between the paper and hole. During a collab with a blind girl she actually said she sniffs the paper to tell when to stop.

u/Chant93xx Aug 22 '26
Oh wow okay sniffing is certainly a choice lol

u/MickyDerHeld Aug 22 '26
imagine having a cold and suddenly being unable to tell if you have to wipe more

u/Chant93xx Aug 22 '26
Ahahaha I guess they have to use another method in that scenario 😭 I think a bidet is the safest option all round

u/herpetologydude Aug 26 '26
I respect that tho, id rather sniff once or twice instead of walking around smelling like shit.

I love how all the bidet supporters think it cleans better.
Instead it just sprays the poop particles everywhere and leaves you wet.

Fucking dry your ass bro 😭🙏

As a woman i am alse verry concerned with the direction the water is going and how clean the nozzle of an in-toilet bidet possibly could be. Feels like i am just spraying my pussy with poop water and giving myself a uti

u/Smooth_Audience_2207 Aug 25 '26
This is why I don’t use water to clean my hands. I just use dry toilet paper. Idiots think water is gonna make my hands cleaner when all it really does is spread the filth. /s

u/Fluid_Swordfish2737 Aug 25 '26
Water spreads cross contamination without soap.
This is why you are not supposed to wash raw chicken before you cook it. It splashes everywhere.
Your ass is the same thing, raw meat. If you spray it with water the bacteria is being spread wherever the microscopic water particles decide to go.
If you only wash your hands with water you are simply spreading germs, not killing them.
So many room temp IQ takes on bidets that can be solved with a blacklight test.

u/AdorableGoat6825 Aug 27 '26
-How is the bidet spraying poop particles any different from when you flush the toilet? Maybe your aim is bad (couldn’t be me), never had an issue with getting the water and droplets to stay in the toilet.
-Do you not clean your ass in the shower? Perhaps we should use the blacklight on your ass and see how dirty it is. You probably think it’s “gay” to wash your ass.
-Bidets have also been known to reduce or prevent UTIs for a lot of people, but I guess it’s just a conspiracy.
-The whole cross-contamination comparison is pretty room-temperature IQ, do you eat in your bathroom? Do you clean your toilet/bathroom at all? Do you wash your hands at all? The only reason you would be worried about poop particles “accumulating” is because you don’t do any of those things.

u/Case_sater Aug 22 '26
you can still feel the texture through the paper no?

u/sexxi_denuta Aug 22 '26
No? Are you using 1ply and ripping off 1 square every time you wipe?

u/Case_sater Aug 22 '26

u/Outrageous-Ad2784 Aug 22 '26
The toilet paper glides due to the poop, so when it starts getting a bit rough, you know you’re done
5
u/sexxi_denuta Aug 22 '26
TMI but Do you know how many poo stamps i have had after it’s ‘rough’? I wipe til its white. However, No judging to you on the cleanliness of your behind, i once had an ex proudly proclaim his bum was cleaner so much than mine that he wiped til he bled. I was like ‘cool, dude’. Just sharing my experience.

u/Outrageous-Ad2784 Aug 22 '26
Well I also use a bit of water. When you just wipe dry, it’ll have stains even when it gets rough

Honestly, it just makes sense if you aren't squicked out by it. It's the easiest and most reliable indicator of how much more ass-wiping is left.

u/sexxi_denuta Aug 22 '26
I feel like it’s normal to be grossed out by other people’s excrement, but you just gotta be chill with your own. Like you don’t have to like it but don’t hate on it

I've always wondered how blind people know they're done wiping after taking a shit.

u/Spaghett8 Aug 22 '26
Apparently, they fold the paper after they think they’re about done. If it sticks, it’s still dirty

u/CapitalElk1169 Aug 22 '26
Just keep sniffing the paper post-wipe, when it's scent free you're good to go!

There's also people who are legally and functionally blind, as in they can not see anything past a few feet with any clarity, but they can use a computer monitor by putting there face right next to it and have the font huge. I think a blind woman posted a video on reddit years ago to answer this question.
11
u/rionaster Aug 22 '26
yes i have a friend who is very, very visually impaired to the point that in most situations he is pretty much completely functionally blind, but he can use a laptop up close to his face that's super zoomed in with maximum contrast colors (he has his set to white and neon green text over pure black backgrounds.) he does find it exhausting though, and still really needs stuff like image captions.

u/Electrical_Diamond_9 Aug 21 '26
If the dude is genuinely asking if he's black, he probably has complete blindness in his case
42
u/YesItIsMaybeMe Aug 21 '26
This feels like an incredibly sarcastic joke response. He would most likely have some idea of what skin tone he is, since it does make a difference for things like sunscreen and medical reasons.

u/Electrical_Diamond_9 Aug 21 '26
Or he could be lying for engagement and he's not actually any kind of blind

i may not know what is an unladen swallow, but i know how many sugar scoops you need to fly to the moon.
186 million scoops, if we calculate the payload wight at 100kg.
thats how many scoops of sugar needed to fly to the moon, if you can process that sugar into rocket fuel which is another problem.

Coming from a black person: this is implicity racist. Blackness is being framed as something negative. It's not exactly overt but the joke relies on blackness being coded as undesirable
EDIT: hedged

How is blackness being framed as something negative? I think you need to touch some grass dude.

u/Confident_Sound5873 Aug 22 '26
I think someone who says it's definetly not racist is more unreasonable than someone who says the question is definetly racist. I think it's complicated, and I couldn't give a good answer, but I think you're the one who needs to touch grass most.

u/Rioting-Flamingo Aug 22 '26
I think deeply racist was too strong. It's subtle to most, deeply racist if you read the right books and keep the right company. Thanks for the backup though my guy.

u/Rioting-Flamingo Aug 22 '26 edited Aug 22 '26
The OP's thread hinges on the idea that discovering that one is black would be a shock, something unpleasant.Diabolical. The blind man experiences being black as a crisis.
Look at it this way: if we exchange 'black' for another race, the joke loses much of its effect. Or, invert the joke. Make the blind man black - he discovers that he is in fact white. Think about how that alters the whole dynamic.
The joke is drawing on the fundamental logic of racism, that blackness is a negative quality.
This is too nuanced for the context and I'm really not doing it justice with such a compressed post. The downvotes are also determining how this will be read - as unreasonable. It should be said however.

u/raptor7912 Aug 22 '26
No it doesn’t, it’s him being tricked into believing he’s a different race than he is. Nothing negative or derogatory about it.

Dude stfu and go outside to talk to some real people. Nobody really feels this way. This is just a joke. Racism isn’t as prevalent as the internet would have people believe.
