YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

Why YSK: It's cleaner, cheaper and more convenient than toilet paper

My favorite pro-bidet argument from chainsawsuit.com

.....you dont wash your hands?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's exactly the comparison that the comic strip is making. People are okay with just using tissue in one situation but not in others.

I think the other comparison we're overlooking is how many people would be ok with "just a quick rinse" if they were washing shit off their hands.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Well it's a quick rinse with or without some TP to dry versus just smearing it around your butt with dry paper.

.... you don't wash your butt?

Your point is also the point of the comic: saying that you've rubbed dry paper on your butthole and that makes it "clean" is analagous to getting poop on your hands and doing the same.

You wash your hands; you should also wash your butt: so get a bidet.

I don't grab everything I touch with my ass crack either.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You're missing out on the suprised faces when someone comes in for a handshake.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Except that I don't touch literally everything else including my food with my butthole, though. And it's not as if I never wash my butthole. So if I happen to be in a public shitter and I drop a deuce, I will simply apply shit tickets and not freak out about it.
