You just get up after pooping, and then pull the TP through your butt cheeks. It’s massively inferior, the poop gets spread around when you stand up. I used like 10x more TP as a standing wiper. I will say it’s gentler on the asshole though.
UK didn’t ban asbestos till 2000, 25 years after we knew it was mega cancer.
1993 for Germany
1997 for France
1992 for Italy
2002 for Spain
China still hasn’t banned asbestos.
Valuing profit over human life is not unique to the US or even capitalism(if you’re foolish enough to consider China a communist state).
Government dictating that citizens MUST give money to a private company who then gives money to the politicians who make that mandate is wildly immoral. Insurance should be a government program.
Leaded gas still isn’t banned. Small airplanes still use it, and homes around airfields (including mine, which my family lived in before the airfield) are contaminated with lead. My daughter failed her 12 month lead test because of it despite us excluding her from outdoor activities in our neighborhood.
Average lemmy.ml user be like:
I mean, yeah? Is that really so bad. I guess it depends what the intent was. The town I grew up in was pretty tame, and the room I’d get locked in without food or water if I’d misbehaved had books
I’m not sure how we got on the topic, but it came up in a drunken conversation with a friend. I’m fully converted to a sit down wiper now.
We were using it in aftermarket brake pads too…
Asbestos in brake pads was banned as a factory item for car manufacturers. No cars are allowed to come new with asbestos in the pads, it was a solved problem for a decade. It was allowed for replacement pads only(until last year when it was banned entirely).
