Social media trend I find strange: bragging about bidets as a hallmark of civilization.

I get it, often there is subtext of formerly "thirdworld" countries (using bidets), taking revenge on Western populations (not using bidets) for looking down on them.

But suggesting your diet is so messed up the fruit of your bowels turns out messy and sticky as a common enough occurence you need a bidet strikes me as a self-own more than a gotcha.

Using a bidet should be a personal choice based on hygiene preferences, not a tool for social status or cultural superiority. Let's focus on promoting good sanitation practices without making others feel inferior for their choices. Cleanliness is key, no matter the method!
