Ask Lemmy, Ouija Style
This is like r/AskOuija, but for lemmy; not affiliated to the r/AskOuija though.
What is this "Ouija" thing?
Ouija here is referring to the Ouija Board that used to communicate with spirits and it look something like this:
To play the Ouija board to communicate with spirits, one needs to place one’s fingers on the planchette, and it is moved about the board to spell out words letter by letter, and then finally, “goodbye”. This is the part we refer as Ouija Style.
Technically saying, there is usually also “yes” and “no”, but including them in commenting makes it less fun to comment, so usually we don’t do that here.
This is generally how Ouija Style works. Hope you have fun commenting, spirits!
RULES
this is adopted rule from r/AskOuija; but due to the difference between Reddit and Lemmy (for example, there is no flair) many things are not doable here.
- No shitposting. This includes posts that start with "if this gets X upvotes..."
- Posts must ask a question (or be answerable in some way).
- All comments must be a single character (including number and emoji, they too have to be single letter), except:
- When the post title begin with [Meta].
- Comments reminding people that they violate the rules.
- If you feel that the Ouija has completed its answer, you may comment with "Goodbye" to end the thread. If you want a fancy Goodbye, it would be okay, but it need to have a clear indication of it is a “goodbye”.
- You may add commentary as long as it's a child comment of a "goodbye" (in reply to a "goodbye", in reply to a comment that's replying to a "goodbye", etc).
- You may not reply directly to your own letter comment (this includes replying to your own letter with a Goodbye) but you can still reply multiple times in a thread.
- You may not help answer your own question. You can still reply to a Goodbye, but you cannot add letters or Goodbyes. You've done your job; let the spirits do theirs.
- No bots.
These rules are a work-in-progress and subject to change. Feedback is welcome.

goodbye
I learned recently that there are different things both called bidets. Some bidets aren't in the toilet
Where, then?
It's its own thing you sit on that's not for poopin and peein.
Still in the toilet, though?
No
Where, then? I cannot imagine people wandering away from the toilet to another room to wash their butts :D
But, please do tell where.
It might be in the WC or bathroom, or "toilets" but it is not inside a toilet (bowl).
Where I live, toilet = toilet bowl. Bathroom or restroom has the toilet and sink inside.
Where is that country?
Usa
Oho! I wonder why they didn't teach that at the school?! I know they were teaching British English because I live in Europe, but since they for example told that in US English the u is often omitted in words, they could have also told that the toilet is inside the toilet.
In the German lessons they did make sure we know that in German "in the toilet" means inside the toilet bowl, while "on the toilet" means "in the WC". Thanks for letting me know! :)
So, the next question: Where is the bidet actually inside the actual toilet bowl? Do you mean the Japanese ones?
Yeah I think they're Japanese style, but also the only kind I've ever seen.
In Finland it's a separate shower between the toilet bowl and the sink. You turn the water on in the sink and when you want the water to come out of the small shower, you press a button on it.
Really cool! I've heard people in the uk call this a bum shower
Also a bumgun :)
I can't believe it took this long to finally get a practical answer lol.
!notHowOuijaWorks. Your reply needs to be a single character.
My bad; I should've replied to the "Goodbye" comment.
