What’s something you do that would make other people think WTF?
I, uh… I shave hair like 5 cm around my bumhole. Paired with a bidet, you wouldn’t guess how much easier it made it to wipe. I used to use 30-50 squares of toilet paper per wiping session, today I can manage with just 10
a bidet and a waxed butthole are the pandora’s box of the bathroom. once you open them you can never go back
I use hair removal cream for the same effect. Indeed, anything less seems barbaric.
A hairless butthole makes farts really interesting. Someone’s they bubble up under your balls
Pandora’s cheeks
I came here expecting to share about my ears, but will come away expecting to shave my bum 🤔
Careful, hair there is for a reason…think of how two slices of baloney stick together. Bonus thought: if you do this and work in a hot/humid environment cornstarch will be your best friend.
This is true. You will no longer be doing any sneaky farts when you lose nature’s muffler.
for me butt hair and pubes are far more uncomfortable than being hairless in hot weather. also getting rid of armpit hair stopped like 90% of my bo when I sweat, and smooth legs make socks far more comfortable. at this point I’m all for less hair in places that aren’t my head.
that said I’m fairly thin and don’t usually have chafing problems with or without hair in places, and I also either wax or use an epilator so anything growing back comes in slower and softer than the stubble you get from shaving. now that sounds like a nightmare between the cheeks
Electric clippers set with the lowest hair guard = no stubble. Everyone reading this needs to know options are available, you don’t need to be stinkey pete
As a dude with very sparse body hair, threads like these always make me feel like I won the genetic lottery.
Damn you. Now go stand in the corner.
More people should do this, honestly. Getting a hairy bumhole to be clean after a big dump is annoying as all hell.
However… 10 squares of toilet paper? Even with a shaved and hosed down bussy? That still seems like a lot to me

It’s like trying to wash a melted snickers bar from a Persian rug
I did not need this image in my mind
It is a lot. I’m a pretty hairy dude who stopped bothering with even trimming my ass hairs once I got a bidet attachment a few years back. 5 is usually enough, sometimes 7. Like 1% of shits require more than that. The other guy is either using way too much tp or he’s buying single-ply for some ungodly reason.
No, I actually have triple-ply. I developed a stupid habit of folding multiple papers and using them together, so I wipe with like 9 layers at a time. It helps the paper not break up even being wet, but wastes a lot more overall.
As someone cursed with bum hair, I want to do this. I just cringe at the idea of a shaving cut on my rusty sheriff badge. Did it once and the growback was deeply uncomfortable too.
I bought a Meridian body trimmer a few months back and still haven’t raised the courage to use it on intimate areas as it’s intended for, ptsd after nicks from my other shaver.
Not leaving the house without a hat. I feel naked without one. I have a felt hat, a straw hat, and a vintage stetson made from leather-looking plastic for traveling and festivals as it’s essentially indestructible ;)
The straw hat is closing in on 10 years, and I’m planning to get a new one next summer, I have not yet decided on the style, maybe a panama hat.
Coming from a place where skin cancer is more of a when you get it and not if you get it. This is normal as can be.
I’m from northern Germany. While global warming changed things a bit, we used to have a joke
What are you doing this summer?
On that day I plan to work in the garden.
That said, I also hate baseball caps, something some people tend to also call hats.
edit: Oh, and funnily enough, hats are still somewhat rare in South Africa, despite them having a lot of sun. It’s mainly people working outside that wear them. Most of the white people there do look a bit sun-burnt.
As an Aussie, this is totally normal and beats getting skin cancer. This is normal for most Aussies as you can literally feel the sun burning you skin some days.
The joys of living closer to the hole in the ozone layer!
Are you even an Aussie if you don’t own at least one Bunnings hat!
I’m rocking a Mitre10 hat at the moment, it was free, and a hat is a hat!
Haha that’s very acceptable, and the sophisticated choice of hat IMHO
So apparently my girlfriend thinks it’s weird my family keeps a knife in the toilet. You know, just in case it doesn’t flush down. I thought everybody did this.
A little odd there
Definitely weird
One day I saw advertised these birdhouses with little accordion-like appendages, the same kind most air conditioners have that allow them to fit into windows, and I bought several of these, one per window. On the side facing the outdoors, birds find a little hole and can venture inside, as is typical of a birdhouse. On the side facing the inside of my home, the same birdhouses have tiny windows, like those one-way viewers hotel doors have, that allow anyone to see into the birdhouses, as well as the secretly built option to open it like a door, either while no bird is inside (makes cleaning them easy) or, if someone for some reason felt devious (I wouldn’t, and would never give anyone the key to said birdhouse doors), while a bird was in there, which would force it to honor the will of the owner of the home with all the said birdhouses (again, I would never use this feature, unless maybe a bird was injured or something and needed help).
Alright, with all that said… while I have no plans to ditch any of the birdhouses, I will admit I’ve received complaints that the combination of a few dozen birdhouses in unison is noisy in the morning, like you wake up at six in the morning and it sounds like the birdie house of commons. People say such bird hospitality is unbecoming of an inn attendant. Is it though? Is it? That said, this is usually when the noise cancellers aren’t working.
I have no words right now.
They sound awesome.
Any increase in them smacking up against the window or do they just shoot for the birdhouses?
There is a huge increase if you don’t mark the windows with some kind of visibility method. In my case, these are in the useless parts of the window, so it was easy for me to simply add tiny ornamental wind socks without anyone asking what I was going for in making those windows difficult to use (you know, aside from it being taken up by a birdhouse).
It’s not really weird to want temporary bird aquarium windows in your house. That’s ingenious. I think I’d love that

Like you eat the core as well or that you pop the whole apple in your mouth?
I process insect vomit for a day job
Beekeeper eh?
Or ants? Like in a science/research capacity?
Microwave a piece of cheese for a few seconds before eating it. I like room-temperature cheese.
I warm wrapped cheese (cheese sticks, baby bells) in my pocket before eating. If I’m feeling fancy or rushed I’ll plop it into a cup of hot water. I feel a microwave would be too inconsistent, with cold spots and melted spots; I want the cheese to be uniformly soft.
I’m already married, but will you also marry me?
Soft muenster is best muenster
Eat fries first, main dish later, always. Good reason though: usually the main dish holds heat much longer than fries do, and it probably won’t get as gross as fries do.
Cold fries are tasteless and soggy. A warm burger is still good.
That’s compelling logic.
I eat in the same order but because I like to eat my favourite bit last.
If I have a roast dinner I’ll eat veg - potatoes - meat.
Same reason I save my roast broccoli for last
I always start with veg, then meat, then carbs my beloved.
Me too. Once I was talled “Aren’t you gonna eat that?” That’s when I realised I was unconsciously saving food for the end.
Not strange at all. Everyone knows you eat the fries in the car on the way home.

to drop off the door dash. you meant. I think.
Nothing to add, just wanted to say @[email protected] this is an excellent post!
I love opening Memmy and seeing that I’ve got more replies to this post. I’m surprised people opened up as much as they have
Got to love the anonymity of the internet ey!
You might be too right.
My wife lives in another county and is only around on the weekends.
She is a huge turtle nut and has several stuffed turtle toys on the bed. I’m in finance journalism and sometimes talk to the turtles about convertible bond transactions and other boring stuff.
It helps me work through things. Probably headed for an institution in the future.
Do you have a friend writing Cdrama ?
This is basically “Rubber duck debugging” for non-developers. You’re fine, buddy.
I meticulously eat all the whites off my fried eggs then shove the intact yolk into my mouth. Mostly because I hate yolking the other food on the plate and fried eggs are best hot. I have converted my husband. Everyone else seems to think it’s weird.
Yes yes yes! I knew I wasn’t alone! We can start our own community now!
No way, I do the exact same thing! My husband thinks it’s cute but still prefers his eggs scrambled.
I do this but put it on the eye of the bacon first.
What is the eye of the bacon?
The roundish bit on UK bacon
I do this to not waste even a drop of the precious liquid flavor gold that are egg yolks.
Yolk gang!
Mostly because I hate yolking the other food on the plate
I’m the opposite then, I guess. I don’t need ketchup for my fries if I have egg yolk is all I’m gonna say.
Thank God I’m not the only one who does this. I want to eat all the yolk, thank you very much. The stuff left on the plate is a waste.
I do this but eat the intact and nearly raw yolk first. Then maybe I’ll eat the pedestrian whites with lots of Parmesan and butter.
There are dozens of us!
I intentionally trigger cramps in the bottoms of my feet. Definitely hurts, but I enjoy the feeling.
In a similar vein, any time I get a small cut, I reach for the isopropyl alcohol. I skip over the hydrogen peroxide for the simple reason of “I like the way the alcohol stings”
Done that too. But there ends up being a fine line between masochism and self harm.
Hydrogen peroxide isn’t great for wounds anyway. Alcohol or regular soap and water is best in most cases.
Ouch
It hurts so good though.
I too enjoy walking.
I also do this! I thought it was normal. Guess not
One of my favourite sandwiches is strong cheddar cheese and strawberry jam.
Try it with a salty white cheese like feta. Just crumble the cheese. Trust me, it’s delicious.
Grapes, sharp white cheddar, and crackers are delicious together, so I could see this being good
strawberries and Beecher’s Flagship Reserve Cheese. it’s like fireworks for tastebuds.
I like that, but I prefer brie+blueberries, which is not weird for some reason.
Cheddar is also good with peanut butter!
I don’t think I’ll like it, but I really want to try this combo now! How did you come across this?
My dad got it from his grandad, his family are from Leicestershire and Ireland.
I also recommend tomato, onion and peanut butter (the sweetener-free version, a yank offered me a foul sweetened version of peanut butter and I now specify the one made exclusively of peanuts)
And cheese-and-honey is a not unusual school lunch sandwich option here in Australia. But then, so is cheese and vegemite.
It’s really good, strong cheese with jam is a popular side dish in some places. I would also recommend goat cheese with honey
I eat cereal dry with my milk in a glass.

Like the girl from Get Out?
I need at least 3 pillows for sleeping comfortably. Doesn’t matter if I even actually touch them, but I do need them just in case. One primary chonky one, and 2 slimmer ones to adjust height and etc.
I lay my pillows all around me and sleep like a baby
