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.

Bidets can reflect cultural differences, but it's important to focus on hygiene over status.
