That’s exactly my point. Why would you want to even do it? Like, what’s the point.

I’m perfectly fine with a form of entertainment being for adults; keep it in its lane.

Just adding to the "yes, a bidet is worth it" crowd. My partner and I grabbed one the moment we moved into a place where the plumbing and bathroom layout made it feasible. Absolute best decision.

Honestly, one of the first things I thought of.

Didn't get the message until 3:40

Literally just installed a bidet two days ago. I mean you can get drunk through your ass so........

People put latex up there all the time right?

Hey man I totally get it, I’d wanna be careful too. But look on the lighter side: They haven’t actually found any contaminants in the water supply yet so you’re still safe to use it no matter what. At least until they let river water in. After that they’ll have to test it first, but I digress. That’s why they issued the warning that it’s safe to drink until midnight. (I believe thats when they allow river water to mix and enter the treatment plants but I’m not an expert.)

They say its only kinky the first time🤡

News reported people bought out Costco then were reselling the water in the parking lot.

ok so I'm following up to your comment late here.

I was out on my motorcycle today for the first time this year burning off the old (but stabilized) gas. You're right. The lot she was referring to is on the Southeast corner of 9th and Reed. I cannot believe it's just free; you're telling me it's just a random lot that is first come first serve? No way. My friend lived half a block down on Reed at that side street and I don't recall ever being able to park there. Are we sure it's not connected to the adjacent property? Maybe for the residents of that? I need to know more, I just can't believe there's a communal free lot that anyone is welcomed to park in.

The pandemic toilet paper problem told me all I needed to know about the human race during a crisis — seeing 1 person take 11 cases of water is a fucking joke. These people make me sick.

KEEP YER ASS CLEAN.

This thread is about the handling of this situation, not about the actual amount in the water. The city botched this horrendously.

First, they send out a text message warning residents to drink bottled water after 2pm. This was at 1:15 pm today. Some people didn't get it until a little bit later. That gave people 45 minutes to get their hands on a necessary resource.

They didn't say what type of chemical or what locations were affected, you had to go to the website....which then went down due to too much traffic.

Fights broke out all over the city over water, and stores couldn't handle the demand.

Then the city retracts their statement, says that the water is fine until March 26th at 11:59 pm. People still panic because the damage has already been done.

Also it turns out the spill was actually on Friday, and the burning smell all over the city yesterday night was the result.

Now they're calling to redirect to a website using a cracked out robot that can't even read the link correctly.

Hopefully you're right about the amount. But in another situation like this, potentially worse or immediately life threatening, is this the kind of handling that is acceptable?

It's not latex though. They said it's butyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate. Lying liars gonna lie.

TP for my bunghole?

I mean most of the worlds toilet paper has pfas. Pick your poison partner. ::drinks remaining beer from mcglincheys::

I mean, Philly’s always kinda looking for an excuse. We’re a tetchy bit of business.

But the way it’s unfolding in this case is very much one of those “dumbest timelines” bit of mess. On multiple fronts - there’s people going apeshit to buy more water than they’d realistically run through in 3 months, and I’ve also spent the afternoon explaining to others that boiling and Brita filters won’t fix it, and they still don’t care because any inconvenience now is worse than actual catastrophe later..

It’s genuinely wild how inconsistent we are, as a species, at evaluating risk and responding appropriately

It’s also gotten easier and more affordable then ever to get a bidet. You can buy one for $30 on Amazon and install it yourself. You’ll never go back

even though OP is biting my goof from earlier I can't recommend a bidet enough. I've had one for about five years and I'm now exclusively a home court guy. I don't have a hot water hookup, it's just a basic water spray, and I adjusted within days to the cold water on my special area. It's one of the best $25 I've ever spent.
