No one understands what a bidet really is.

In the old days, they were a separate free-standing device. Not a lot of people have space or money to add one of these types of bidets to their bathrooms

Now they make them as toilet seat attachments that don't require extra space and really aren't that expensive.

But people don't know. Older people will be like, "Oh a bidet? No I don't want another toilet like device in my bathroom"

So that gets rid of all those people.

Next you have the people that know about the new style bidets that's just a fancy toilet seat.

Their biggest deterrent is probably cold water. Spraying cold water on their butt doesn't appeal to most people.

You can get bidets that heat the water, but you have to have power behind your toilet, which not everyone has.

Then you have older people that just can't work them or don't feel like they can. Like my grandfather, I installed one with all the bells and whistles for him. Yet hitting a button and doing all that was too complicated. He was 90+ and could barely use a cell phone for basic functions. But he'd rather wipe his butt like he knew than mess with the "complicated" bidet.

Eventually everyone is going to own a bidet, it really is the way to go.

We just aren't there yet.

7+6

You need 3 to get to 10. 3 left over. 10+3=13.

I'd split up the 6 into (3,3) in my head

Same thing as 7+3+3

Best feature in a phone is the Motorola shake flashlight

You lose money using a bondsman

There is a bail bond fee or premium associated with using a bondsman

This is non-refundable to trump.

If he comes up with the cash himself and cuts out the bondsman he would get all his money back from the court after showing up to court.

Bondsman gets all money back if trump shows up to court. They are not losing a penny. But making money because of the fee or premium.

Only way it would make sense is if he was really trying to skip town. Then, losing fee would be less than 10% of the bond.

He didn't forge documents. He just didn't want to tell the protagonist that he was the heir. I believe the letter also told him not to tell. So, in a way, he was fulfilling the dead mother's wishes on that.

Gustav's was failing. Selling cheap food for profit might have been the only way to keep the business afloat. Yes, he tarnishes the name, but sometimes things have to be done, and he might have had to make that hard decision.

Mean and selfish? Yes. Evil? No

Not everyone is cut the same

Some get more, and some get less cut off.

Sounds like you were fortunate and got less cut off.

Circumcision is common in US, mentioning lotion with masterbating is common.

Like you said, no one would use lotion unless they had to.

Genital mutilation is a big deal

People get angry at piercing infant ears, but somehow cutting off foreskin is normal.

What if we were ripping off infant fingernails?

Studies have shown that a lot of bacteria collect under them, and if we removed the fingernails, kids would get sick less.

Why don't you get your appendix removed as an infant?

You wouldn't want to risk it rupturing as an adult

Foreskin is natural. The likelihood of you needing it removed is slim to none.

Just look at all the other countries that don't circumcise. Are all the adults getting circumcised later in life? No.

The problem is you don't know how good it is to have foreskin. It's like you growing up with no fingernails. You wouldn't know how good fingernails were.

Social security would be a ponzi scheme if it wasn't done by the government. System only works because new younger people are "convinced" to put in money to pay the old in hopes that new younger people will pay them in the future.

The social security liability is currently 23 trillion. If no new people started paying in and everyone wanted to cash out, they couldn't get a dime.

We are 33 trillion dollars in debt. 33 trillion.

If we as a country ever tried to cut spending and save money to pay that down, our economy would collapse so fast.

Imagine it like a car steering wheel.

You'd say turning the wheel to the right turns the car right.

Think of it like this. Like your hand is holding on the top of the steering wheel.

You pay 20 in cash because you get 20 in cash back if you show up to court

If you take a loan with a bondsman, you lose a fee. 5 of the 20 is lost because you used a bondsman. Only get 15 back after you show up to court.

You don't want to use a bondsman unless you have to

There's nothing more scary than a person with nothing to lose

So, person that just screwed up their life. Who wants to hire a felon? How is a felon supposed to get to work in Texas without transportation? You're going to now take a large chunk out of their paycheck?

People are struggling in Texas that aren't a felon, can drive a car, and get to keep all their paycheck.

How is a person realistically supposed to overcome basically losing everything?

Driving without a license is this person's last concern, and probably some alcohol will make them feel better...

Home library

When all your walls are filled with book shelves, but you don't want a random couch in the middle of the room.

Crazy thing is he has to give a 70.23% discount for people to even think about buying a pillow

50 dollars for the world's best pillow is a steal

Something you use every night that can actually help with sleep and health. You shouldn't be skimping on your pillow.

America used lead water pipes

Lead pipes can last 100+ years

America is ~250 years old.

Lead pipes installed in early 1900s would still be functional today.

Yes and no.

If you could put a 1 petabyte flash drive on a pigeon, it would easily crush the gigabit internet

Does a 1 petabyte flash drive exist? Could it exist?

They put 3 stripped-down terabyte flash drives on the pigeon. Could it carry more weight?

You get to the point where the pigeon can't carry the weight.

All this is saying that sending data by pigeon can be faster and using 3 tb sticks proves it.

If it needed to be 4 tb, then they would have had to use 4 sticks. If it couldn't carry 4 sticks, then you have your answer that the pigeon can't do it with current technology.

One million seconds is 11.6 days

Oh they definitely advertise to doctors as well

You can donate blood in 20 minutes. It takes an hour plus to donate plasma

Am I going to sit in a chair for an hour plus without any compensation? Maybe once or twice here and there. But you can donate plasma at least twice a week.

It requires two donations for a single unit. If you donate once and don't donate the second, then your first donation is unusable. You have to get them to donate twice.

When I was donating plasma, it paid about $75 for each donation. 50 first, 100 for second. The money is pretty good. $300 a month is a lot for a lot of people.

If you didn't compensate people for plasma donations, a lot wouldn't do it. They currently need more people to donate.

Plasma "donation" is a good thing.

It's crazy to think that God intervened at the last possible second.

Like maybe give a hint to the SS that the guy was on the roof?

Like maybe make the gun jam or misfire?

Nope, God said, "I'm going to let the bullet graze his ear, lol. Oh yeah, Corey Comperatore, I'm just not going to intervene on that one..."

Trump could have at least made it in memory of Corey Comperatore. But nope, he's got to make it about only himself.

Pro tip:

Always max hot water (or hot water only if separate) to warm up shower fastest and save water. It's a win win.

Turning it 3/4 or something to desired temperature takes longer to heat up and wastes both hot and cold water.

Doesn't even water filter it. 9/10

You could lift the potato without setting off the trap pretty easily

Hey! USA Avocado industry would be thriving if Mexico wasn't shipping all theirs in without a tariff.

But a sable genius once said. "What we have is a thing called the gasoline. We have gasoline. We have so much gasoline, we don’t know what to do. They don’t have gasoline. So why are we making a product that they dominate? They’re going to dominate."

This was in reply to the question "How are you going to bring down the cost of food and groceries?".

I think you can apply the same logic here. "What we have is a thing called the corn. We have corn. We have so much corn, we don’t know what to do. They don’t have corn. So why are we making a product [avocados] that they dominate? They’re [Mexico] going to dominate."

Stinkfist - Tool

You think from the title it would be obvious. Never thought why it was named like that until after I realized what the song was about.

I saw it as

  1. Stick figure in bed
  2. Blowjob
  3. Piledriver
  4. Rest
  5. Blowjob
  6. Resume piledriver

I thought it was funny when i first saw it. I see the whole car thing now after reading the comment. So maybe the stick figure never leaves his house and just gets blowjobs. They could be a sex worker that takes money for letting other stick figures suck their stick. And they are waiting for their next client in-between. Or the stick figure in the first frame is the one giving blowjobs and waiting.

We have had weather modification technology for 20+ years.

First known use in war was in 1967, called Operation Popeye.

Now could the government create a category 5 hurricane? Very farfetched.

A choosey nose indeed

On my s22+ you can double tap the power button to open up the camera or any app that you'd like automatically.

Motorola shake flashlight was the best. Just a quick chop chop and you'd have a light

I now have a little flashlight button on my lock screen I can slide to turn on the flashlight. Not as convenient but way better than not having it there.

Don't think of anything real

My favorite trick is to think of myself in a movie and play it out. I commonly put myself in Harry Potter. I walk up to the hogwarts castle door...then I just have fun making stuff up and playing it out like a movie in my head. Next thing I know, I'm asleep.

If I get too far, I just pick a different movie and start over

The worst thing you can do while falling asleep is thinking about the real world. The present, past, or future. Nope, don't think about it.

Clear your mind and jump start a dream

No, because knowing the first child is a boy doesn't tell you any information about the second child.

Three doors, Girl Girl Boy

You select a door and Monty opens a door to show a Girl. You had higher odds of picking a girl door to start (2/3). So switching gives you better odds at changing to the door with the Boy because you probably picked a Girl door.

Here the child being a boy doesn't matter and the other child can be either.

It's 50/50 assuming genders are 50/50.

Gold Standard

Linking money to a material with intrinsic value for it's value

Gold has intrinsic value

US Dollar moved to be a Fiat Currency

US Dollar is backed by a Government

Crypto has zero intrinsic value, not linked to anything with intrinsic value, and not backed by a Government

Crypto is an imaginary "item" some people want to have valve. Value is created because of this want.

US Dollar is legal tinder for all US debts, Crypto is not

Crypto is not a currency but a digital commodity

Why would someone buy a house so someone else could slowly buy it from them? They would essentially be acting like a bank.

Who keeps up with the house maintenance?

Landlords are unneeded middlemen. A good system doesn't use them.

Your idea is "rent to own".

You can rent to own a Playstation that's 300 dollars for a small monthly price but at the end of the loan you're going to pay 600 dollars total for the Playstation.

Why am I going to go to Best Buy, buy a Playstation for 300, then let Jimmy down the street play with it while he slowly pays me back my 300?

Why am going to buy a house for 100,000 and let Jimmy rent to own it?

600 a month for 15 years. He'd pay for it.

If I put 100k in the S&P500 for 15 years, I'd have 415k.

Would I rather:

A. Help Jimmy get a house

B. Make ~300k for just sitting
