Comment on I hate how inescapable politics are on Lemmy, but ya know, at least nobody's constantly asking how I wipe my butt or pick up my dog's poop then completely ignoring me when I try to answer.

  Very few blind people have no vision at all, and many, including myself, have sufficient vision to see what’s on the TP. Otherwise, the friction as you wipe is a decent indicator, and if you’re not sure you can just make a few more passes.

    That extra bit of context definitely helps to frame why someone would be asking you those things!

      I thought most people on here would get the reference from how often “How do blind people wipe their butt?” comes up on /r/showerthoughts.

        For what it’s worth, that’s probably more of a Reddit thing; I don’t think I’ve ever seen that asked on Lemmy.

    I’d never heard that! So you might be able to see it from very close, or only in peripheral vision or something? That’s great.

    Taste test is actually more accurate /j

  This question, asked by Jim Jefferies in his bit about guide dogs, ruined my wiping experience. When I was younger, my ass smaller and and my shits smoother, it was enough to give a single wipe and go on with my day. Then Jefferies asked the question of how blind people see the poop on the paper, and the next time I had to look at the paper and do a control wipe to see that it’s clean. But now that I’m fatter and my shits messier, I have to do like six wipes to get a clean one. Curse you Jim Jefferies.

  The same way they pick up dog poop. They have a theme or compulsion.
