As much as Toto charges for these, I don't think they should be defeated by toilet paper. Do better.

[-] capital@lemmy.world 61 points 1 week ago

Just as soon as people quit pissing on it.

I supposedly go to work in a building with other adults.

It's right there in the thumbnail. Just scoop up that pee and poo in your hand like our ancestors did

If I shouldn't wipe the seat with toilet paper because it creates micro-scratches, what the hell does it do to my ass?! I don't want to risk scratches or discolouration either!

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

To be fair, your ass can likely heal micro scratches and your toilet seat probably cannot.

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

And the discolouration? What about the discolouration?! I'm not bleaching that thing again!

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Well, that's easy.

Just wipe it away with toilet paper.

How on Earth does a toilet seat get scratched from TP?? Are the seats made with super shitty material or is the toilet paper the ass-tearing sandpaper kind?

[-] repungnant_canary@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Even normal tp and tissue fibers are actually surprisingly hard. For example if you wear glasses you should not use tissues to wipe the glasses because it will eventually damage the coating. Something like a cotton T-shirt will be more friendly to your glasses (but it's probably not a good idea to wipe a toilet seat with your t-shirt)

[-] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

Then why do we use them on our assholes? Are we stupid? (don't answer that)

The same reason you don't open letters or cut open cartons with your kitchen knives, also the same reason your kitchen knives should never end up in your dishwasher.

I knew I should've worded it differently...

[-] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago

But what kind of toilet paper gives one paper cuts?

[-] Werbert@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago
[-] tetris11@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Fun fact: A4 is literally an acronym for "for anuses". It became more commonly used for writing because buttholes would use it for writing fanfics.

Am I to high or this toilet looks like head with open mouth ? edit: The thumbnail has somehow flipped shadow.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

It looks like the face from Mars is enjoying his new job.

[-] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

*too

...but I see it too.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 week ago

In stead, bless the rains down in Africa. 60% of the time, it works every time.

[-] TheObviousSolution@lemm.ee 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

If it cannot withstand paper, it cannot withstand underwear. This doesn't inspire me with security and reads more like the company trying to push away responsibility for cheap products and/or bad design. Toilets are nothing new, every country has at least a few.

* Pulls off mask, revealing "includes features like ... an air dryer".

Funny thing about air dryers and using them near plastics... Yeah, guys, to the people trying to argue that toiler paper is now sandpaper, one, I'm going to venture a guess that an air dryer does more damage, and two, I'm going to trigger you by telling you how I've been using toilet paper to clean my glasses and no problem, they even still have that blue surface level "anti-reflection" protection.

[-] noxypaws@pawb.social 4 points 1 week ago

why are people wiping toilet seats with toilet paper?

especially washlets where you're definitely sitting down to enjoy the seat heating??

[-] a_baby_duck@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Too impatient to wait for the Japanese toilet to blow my freshly-bideted asshole dry, but polite enough to wipe up the questionably poopy water that drips from it when I stand up too soon.

[-] noxypaws@pawb.social 3 points 1 week ago

why is the water still poopy?? rinse more!

and just use the TP to dab your butt dry, rather than letting it drip and then wiping up the drips!

[-] grahamja@reddthat.com 3 points 1 week ago

Public japanese toilets have bathroom cleaner dispensers on the wall with a picture saying to use toilet paper to clean the seat. The Japanese are notorious for cleaning up after themselves, as well as having clean public facilities.

Example:

[-] Cyberjin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

When I go to a public toilet, I usually clean the seat with the spray hanging on the wall by using toilet paper.

[-] rusticus@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

Duh. Everybody knows you should use your tongue.

[-] pigup@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

For those who are surprised at the hardness of toilet paper and or paper towels, find a bare aluminum object and rub toilet paper or paper towels on its surface. Really hard with a lot of pressure. It won't take much for black swarf to become visible on the paper as a fine black powder of aluminum is ground off.

[-] Grabthar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I got a woodstove recently and got the same warning about the glass door on the front. Don't clean it with paper towels or it will scratch up the glass. They recommend using newspaper instead.
