How do you not drip back onto it? Do you use paper too? How is it okay for me to use the same one right after Typhoid Larry? Doesn't poo go everywhere?

It just seems so weird.

Does poo go everywhere when you shower? It's like a small wash for your ass, but the stream is very concentrated so doesn't splash. The water isn't pulled from the bowl, but from the water tank. It gets your ass actually clean, which paper alone never does, you still use like one sheet of paper afterwards. I used one in Japan, and now I'm intending to replace my toilet, it's like the difference between hand washing clothes and using a washer dryer in terms of revolution to me.
