      I discovered bidets when I was living in Japan for a few years. I eventually bought my own for my home. Now I feel gross pooping anywhere but my home. Leaving my house for more than a day is absolute torture.

      Why do Americans just use toilet paper? If you spill chocolate pudding on the floor, are you just gonna use a dry Kleenex to clean it up? Do you trust it to actually be clean without water at a minimum to scrub with? What if that floor happens to be carpeted? You’ll never get it out with just a dry tissue paper.

      Bidets are definitely my “true level” experience. I’ve upgraded every toilet in my house. I can never go back to just toilet paper.

        at least in the summer there’s the option of just going barefoot, which is pretty cheap
        so that somewhat makes up for it

          I was thinking more about seeing the shoes that everyone else is wearing as wrong/uncomfortable rather than the cost.

      Traditionally headphones and pens were used as other examples because people that were into one frequently were into one of the others. It ended up true for me, I’ve spent about the same on headphones and headphone related gear as I have mechanical keyboards. It took me a long time to find the perfect “end game” setup for both, though I still keep a bunch for variety.

          I have a bunch that I love, but my go to is an OG Hifiman HE-6 that I have modded with less annoying connectors, new grill, new cable, and some ZMF pads. I just love the sound from it. I usually only pick a different pair if I need something closed.

      Keyboards without row stagger. Also keyboards that don’t have only a single key shared between both thumbs.
