    in Italy, there is literally a law obligating houses to have a bidet. the separated from the toilet kind.

      That would never fly in the US. They complain about water usage so much that they regulate shower heads so that they barely drip water, and toilets so that they don’t have enough water to flush solid waste. The bidet would just blow the regulators’ heads with all the water usage.

        Which would be short sightedness on their part, since bidets actually save water in the long run by reducing TP usage

          I fixed then. My bidet has indefinite heated water. I can sit on it for an hour cleaning my ass. It is glorious.

        Only if they sit on it backwards for the drying portion.

      not surprised that Italy (who has a history of fascism and from what I heard currently has a fascist leader) has an authoritarian law requiring that people do things in their own homes (kinda like some HOAs in the US. Although, I have to admit, we must have lucked out with a HOA that’s not one of the shitty ones you always hear about)
