Not turning this into a political thread but we need some Asians in our government go revamp our infrastructure

Japan does all kinds of shit better than us, even shit. Something like 80+% of their homes have bidets, and some have extra bells and whistles for comfort and relaxation. Meanwhile, most of the US (88%) still wipes their asses with paper like 14th century apes!

Can confirm!
As a resident for over 15 years, I am not a damn, dirty ape. Here, we are civilized (and clean-assed).

Yes, my toilet has a heated seat for the winter. Also, 3 different types of flushes depending on the size of your business, a self-cleaner, a powerful smell-sucking vacuum filter, a remote wall-mounted control panel, and automated lid and toilet seat. Also, after flushing, the top of the tank has a sink so you can turn around and wash your hands, and then that recycled water is used to flush next time.

Living in style over here!

At my age it's unlikely, but If I ever build another home, I'm definitely putting in a urinal.

Not sure if anyone has heard of this guy, Karl Bushby. I stumbled across this video and holy hell is this guy's story interesting. He's been walking across the world since 1998. He started in Chile and headed north thru South, Central and then North America. With the end goal of making it back home to England .Continued on foot thru the Arctic and crossed the Bering Strait. Eventually swam across the Caspian sea because of difficulty getting visas. It's absolutely wild.

That's wild. Apparently he's stopped at times, flown home, and then flies back to restart where he left off. I imagine he has to do some work at times too so he can afford to continue trekking. Just an incredible story...how do you even swim 300 km?! According to a BBC story he had two other national swimmers with him and the coast guard. It took 31 days just to do the swim! I assume he slept on one of the coast guard boats in between, or maybe he kept an inflatable raft tied to him.

It's wild! I think I saw in another video where he had two different boat crews that would follow him and he would then hop on them to sleep/rest. I saw where he was sponsored at one point by a variety of different companies.

If this dude travels "the world" and skips Africa, he might be as popular as J.K. Rowling when he gets home. I'm not criticizing him, but somebody might want to give him a heads up.
