No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I think at least some of it has to do with plumbing. There are lots of countries where you can't flush toilet paper because it will clog the pipes. In the US we avoided that problem cleverly by just shitting in holes until like 1950 when the majority of homes got indoor toilets and by that point plumbing tech had improved.

Personally I find them uncomfortable
Not an answer for everyone, but I won’t be making the switch any time soon
I don't know if I'm extremely disappointed or extremely impressed that nobody on this thread seems to have commented on the word choice of "widespread" when discussing the use of bidets.
Also, the only legit answer here is that there are fragile, ignorant men who think that a bidet makes you "gay" - these men are idiots with dirty, stinky assholes and stains on their underwear that their poor wives routinely clean for them.
Because its a hassle for landlords to install one
BRRRRR skibidi bop bop bop yes yes
It's almost exclusively a cultural norm. In SE Asia they often have a spray hose next to the toilet. In Korea and Japan they have bidet functionality integrated into the toilet. In the middle east they dump into a hole in the ground.

Because butt stuff is gay. /s
Really, men rather have a dirty asshole than be perceived as anything less than masculine.

Why do people think it's weird to not want a jet of water blown up your ass?

toxic masculinity (sp).... the number of 'bro's' that question my gender when they hear about my bidet is alarming. i honestly don't know when being a nasty, grimey dude became the 'straight thing to do' but i'm encountered it enough times to recognize the weird perplexed faces i get. for some perspective, i work in a 100+ yr old building in an industrial setting out in a farming area.
but yeah they can think what they want. i'll die before i give up my bidet.
edit- not that i mind, but more curious... why did i get downvoted for saying the same thing as others are upvoted for lol?
