What the fuck were they doing for toilet paper before 1891?

A rag on a stick, frequent trips to the river, their left hand, nothing at all and the three seashells. We're some other options.

We've still got a few years until the three seashells take over and Taco Bell wins the franchise wars.

This post sent me down a rabbit hole.

The funniest one is the Japanese “chuugi”, translated to “shit stick”.

As absolutely batshit crazy the world is right now, it's important to reflect on what we do have. And thankfully it's advanced beyond shit sticks.

Imagine getting an asshole splinter?

No. No I will not imagine that, thank you very much. Kittens are cute. Kittens are cute.

Various other things like leaves, rags, sponges, or leftover paper. Failing that a bare hand works: manners dictating you wash it after.

Some cultural hangups on the left hand being "unclean" stem from those cultures using that hand for hygienic reasons.
