Oblomov

I have a feeling I have done this poll before, but can't find it, so let me try it again.

Are you left- or right-handed? Which had do you use to wipe after going number 2 in the bathroom?

(If you don't have a dominant hand, or wipe indifferently, choose whatever.)

#poll #handedness

Left-handed, use left to wipe
Left-handed, use right to wipe
Right-handed, use left to wipe
Right-handed, use right to wipe
Poll ends at .

@oblomov hang on, is this vital personal info going to be used by world governments and that?

@u0421793 woah. I hadn't thought about that. And now I'm scared to think what they could use it for.

@oblomov @u0421793 It’s a survey by the public toilet lobby in order to know which side of the cabin should the toilet paper roll be placed.

@meduz @u0421793 which is obviously going to be the side that incomodates the most people.

New levels of enshittification for the water closet! After the decades-long debate on the toiler paper roll hang direction, the new frontier of the War of WCs: at which side of the toilet should the paper roll be placed?

@meduz @oblomov but what if I don’t have an arsehole. Or what if I have two?

Anyway, I still think it’s incredible that human civilisation has got this far without a proper instruction manual for wiping one’s arse. Did we all just make it up as we went along, and everyone’s idea of how to wipe our arse is completely different? Why isn’t there best-practice industry-standard for wiping one’s arse?

@u0421793 @meduz I think the best-practice is to use a bidet, but I'm reserving the poll on wiping before using a bidet for a later time.

@oblomov @u0421793 Yeah, also if you have two arseholes you should wait for the dedicated poll so we can know on which sides they are located (who knows if they can be both left or right or graciously balanced).

Je pense que c’est important…

@oblomov A good follow up poll would be if people fold the toilet paper, or crumple it up.

@frog @oblomov *crumple it* ?!!

@temptoetiam @oblomov It creates little nooks and crannies for more efficient material removal, and gives you a little handle to work with.

@oblomov I would love to know if people who voted for the non-dominant hand for wiping are mostly Muslim or West/Central Asian.
Show threadOblomov3d ago
@samir oh that's another interesting follow-up question, but it's going to be difficult to set up properly with Mastodon's limited poll options (to make it more complete).
Show threadsamir, a terminally deprecated method3d ago
@oblomov Yeah, I am not suggesting you can do anything about it, just wishing I knew.
Show threadOblomov3d ago
@samir I am curious about it myself; maybe I can do a mini-poll to check if the responder thinks it's cultural or just comes more natural like that (for example, for me using the non-dominant hand is simply more natural)

@oblomov Yeah, why not?😃
