I’m such a dumbo that I didn’t get the point of the question…

I hope things happen in your life that make you able to believe, that, what you said was a lie isn’t one.

I can’t stop picturing myself as a demolished beggar quite soon. Or a pile of mashed meat near a 10-story building.

“Flushable wipes”

I’m at an age where moist arse wipes are a godsend, and I stubbornly cling to the lie that they’re flushable and fine.

Get a bidet

Every house I’ve lived on had a bidet and they all had a basic faucet. You clean yourself with a soapy sponge or hand and then spend several minutes splashing water on your ass and junk with your hand to remove all off the soap because there is no way the water stream can reach you. Then you have to dry yourself with a towel while water is dripping down your leg and even after drying properly the area still feels wet. At that point you realize it was more convenient simply climbing into the shower to do the same quicker and easier by washing yourself from the waist down.

Wet wipes: you wipe yourself with them and dry with some toilet paper. Done.

I will never give up the commodity of legally flushable wet wipes.

Just dispose of them in the trash

It really is bad to flush them

No one knows what happens in the future. We can make assumptions and calculation based on statistics and probability. But ultimately we don’t know.

We probably won’t solve climate change. We might be able to make huge air conditioned complexes with just a single basic bed for everybody with insect farms underground for us to eat?

That just sounds like Fallout with extra steps.

There are some ideas to terraform the Earth to keep it habitable. It’s just very expensive and challenging and if we screw it up, we’ll be worse off than when we started. We likely won’t get a 2nd chance and as a species we don’t typically nail it on the 1st try.
