Actually, there are! (Though it's classified as invasive in many places, so they really have to be carefully kept.)

In the western US and Canada, thimbleberry leaves can also be used.

They are both great in theory, but in practice, you defoliate the plants too quickly, and you are still putting extra material down pipes. The best, least damaging solution are bidets, since they just use water, and don't require trees or plants to be cut down and pulped.

Your average bidet will usually have a built-in dryer if you buy name brands. Heated water, heated dryer. It saves a remarkable amount of money on TP too. It actually paid itself off after about four years of shitting. And your ass is incredibly clean afterwards, which is a blessing in hot and humid summers for reasons I won't elaborate on prior to getting a bidet, lol.

The Toto bidets have these features for about $335, iirc. You can usually find them at Costco. Amazon sometimes has them too.

Most people only use toilet paper, which is way worse. Bidets get you almost as clean as a shower, but I expect everyone is washing their ass with soap and water at least once per day in the shower.

Bidets these days have heated, oscillating water and blow dryers with hot air.

Yes, they have little doors and always retract back up after use. They also do an automatic bleed before and after each use to wash them off. There is also a manual bleed and clean option so the wand can be cleaned by hand (though they stay remarkably clean. The wonders of Japanese engineering).

They are all one unit now :)

This is super cool :)

Hopefully we can start doing this everywhere.

She's at professional development training right now.

Twokinds is like this. The artist cheated and redid a bunch of his first pages, but even the redone ones are a bit crunchy. The originals are very...early art. The new stuff is insanely detailed. One time he spent 8+ hours drawing a house. The story also evolved a lot too, from his teenage years experiencing racism to his adult life over 20 years or so.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it becomes a three pack a day hobby for her and a number of higher ups who are currently screwing everything up. Menthols, too. Gotta speed run this shit.

It still has some rough edges, even after the major updates. I liked the Panam ending a lot, arguably one of my favorite game endings ever, but the police spawn and logic is still terrible compared to the likes of older GTA games, and the cars still feel gross to drive. Just Cause 2 had better vehicle handling, and that's a title from 2010.
