An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I was concerned about this as well when looking to install a bidet solution, to the point where I put it off for years.

For context, I live in Sweden where the water in the cold line gets quite cold during winter.

I then read that you don't really have that much temperature-related sensation in the place where it matters for the bidet, and finally decided to test the theory and bought a cheap model (~€75) that just attaches to the water inlet for the toilet, i.e cold water.

I can confirm that it is indeed the case that you can't really tell that it's cold water being applied. You're just not that sensitive to it in that place.

I have not looked back at all since I bought the thing. Two squares of toilet paper is basically always enough to get me incredibly clean with the help of the bidet. It's fantastic. I highly recommend you get one.
