Comment on What are some of the impacts of a power outage that isn't that obvious / isn't talked about a lot? And What happens to restaurant bills? Do Buses still work? (since card payments wouldn't work)

  In the u.s. a bidet refers to a type of toilet or an attachment for a toilet that shoots water at your asshole while your still on the toilet after you shit. The separate sink as a bidet is unheard of here.

      I’ve only seen it IRL once and it was an old house in Florida that had a separate basin like a second toilet. I also remember a funny movie in the early minutes/late eighties that has a joke about “why are there two toilets?!” (crocodile Dundee maybe?)
