    Even normal tp and tissue fibers are actually surprisingly hard. For example if you wear glasses you should not use tissues to wipe the glasses because it will eventually damage the coating. Something like a cotton T-shirt will be more friendly to your glasses (but it’s probably not a good idea to wipe a toilet seat with your t-shirt)

        Then why do we use them on our assholes?

        The epithelial cells keep reproducing, so any cells your tear off while wiping gets replaced.

        But I still concur: it’s 2025, we sent people to the moon almost 60 years ago, we built a world wide computer network, and I can watch porn on a little plastic rectangle, using wireless headphones, so nobody notices that I’m jerking off on the bus (ok, that last part isn’t true, they definitely did notice, and I’m not allowed to drive the school bus anymore /s) … still though, we’ve come so far, and we’re still wiping our asses with dried tree mush? Wtf? At least we’re not using the toilet brush like the Romans, but how about we tried something other than scraping feces from our skin? Maybe a build in bidet? I have never found them in the wild, but when I do, I can guarantee that I’m trying out the warm water and blow dryer options… Maybe while using my wireless headphones and plastic rectangle ;-)

        Are we stupid? (don’t answer that)

        Yes (sorry, too stupid to understand rhetorical questions)

      The same reason you don’t open letters or cut open cartons with your kitchen knives, also the same reason your kitchen knives should never end up in your dishwasher.

      Fyi: clean Glases with a drop of dish Soap(rub with finger) and water. Then clean/polish it with a napkin/toilet paper. Dont use excessive force lol. Just cotton will eventually cause scratches just as well as napkins
