Teeth and ass aren’t the same thing and that’s not an equivalent comparison considering multiple people have pointed out that brushing before gives a protective coating or at least is less damaging since there aren’t food acids present, softening the enamel. A quick google search confirms this.

Wtf… Who brushes their teeth BEFORE they eat?! That’s like wiping your ass before you shit

I think that’s actually what dentists recommend (brushing before eating not wiping before you shit). I can’t remember the details fully but I thought it had something to do with particles of food getting pushed into spots it shouldn’t if you brush right after. Toothpaste is meant to protect your teeth, so brushing after eating probably more like waxing a dirty car than wiping before you shit.
