I joined my first instance around that time, and finally deleted my Reddit account a few months later. But I still lurk on some subreddits. There’s no Orangutan community on Lemmy :(

I guess I assume all Lemmings are former Redditors like myself and I suppose that’s not the case.

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, but I’ll change the post title to avoid any other weird comments.

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.

People desperate to live on their own terms may think it’s very much worth the effort. The pilgrims, buckle-headed weirdoes they were, probably thought as much when they boarded the Mayflower.

Don’t know why “clanker” didn’t occur to me when writing the OP
