Yes, but not at the same scale. They’ve become masters at it in the modern age.

Yeah, we may be at checkmate. Unlike the end of the age of the robber barons, when we reformed capitalism in the late 1800s / early 1900s in the US… this time the capitalists have purchased enough politicians to stop reform completely and forever.
The best math teacher I ever had was my high school algebra / geometry / calculus teacher.
Our class format was 1) first half of class, students group together to practice the thing from the day before, 2) second half of class, new concept for the day is taught.
With the class format, his method was to deliberately block the board as much as possible when teaching the new material. He knew that when we got together in group the next day to review it, we’d basically have to teach ourselves what he introduced the day before using our textbooks and the main-point-scraps he allowed to shine through, and it would stick better that way. And it worked.
In effect, give them the resources, and teach them to teach themselves. Sounds odd and counter-intuitive, but it can work if you structure it well.
Like others here have said, I find the question to be a little weird.
You just make sure you clean yourself properly after you go (and if you don’t have a washlet bidet at home, get one, the basic ones can be had for less than $40 on Amazon).
And if you need to be out and about and won’t be able to water wipe due to having to use public toilets, and aren’t 100% about your ability to be fully clean using TP, then just keep a few pairs of underwear and wear them at those times.
This isn’t the Mystery of the Ages or anything. 🤷♂️
I remember Amazon being called out for doing this a few years back (like the early to mid 2010s if I’m recalling correctly). Theirs was particularly ridiculous because you could be on their site logged in, and in an incognito tab logged out, and be seeing different prices reported on the same product pages.
No, it’s been through serious development, with several projects and grants through the US government (US DoT/FHA, US DoE). But in all testing, it’s had multiple safety issues for car traffic (durability issues with the lighting elements that make up the road markings, for one example) that has kept it from any possible approval as an actual high-capacity road surface.
They haven’t had any sustained or spreading success because they keep shooting for the hardest goal… but likely they’ll have to eventually scale back if they want to gain any traction (no pun intended).
Solar Roadways has been trying to make it work for a while, but I think they will end up being a project better geared for driveways or parking lots or bicycle highways rather than replacing asphalt roads, just based on the enormous amount of issues they’ve had in the past in trying to shield and protect the lighting elements.
It could still do a lot of good even in the more limited applications, though, so I’m still hoping for their eventual success, even if it ends up being on a smaller scale than what their initial goal was.
…causing angry drivers (never referring to the ones that do stop for us) to yell that we’re invading privacy.
Except… they’re in public. In a vehicle with transparent windows. 🤷♂️
Not many potential ones out there, I’d wager. I’m in my 40s and have only met two for-certain candidates, been married to one of them for a while. So if you get that true click, good for you.
You could argue that people would burn out on eternity, but I doubt you could make the same argument for life extension / stopping of aging. People would be free to live for a long time, and when each person decides it’s enough, one can check out voluntarily.
If we ever achieve long-term life extension, I could see monogamy being tossed. Being with a single partner for life can serve well if it’s the ideal of both parties in the relationship. But extend that lifespan to multiple times the current one, and I can see it getting pretty iffy.
I guess if you’re going to unknowingly interact with a serial killer, being their job trainer is one of the luckiest things you can be. They can’t off you, or else they won’t be able to learn enough to do/keep their job.
I didn’t fully stop using Reddit, but I can safely say I’ve had about a 95% reduction in total use time there.
After this summer’s fiasco, I have a bad taste in my mouth from them (I think many people do) so I am only in a small handful of communities that haven’t migrated to the Fediverse. The site in general feels much less busy.
I use warm (not hot) water under pressure. Dry with a clean hand towel. Warning: don’t use towels that were fabric softened, fabric softener can leave some nasty, hard-to-remove streaks on the lenses.
It’s shortened over time. Original and Delta, it could be somewhere between 4 days and a week. As I understand it, it’s closer to 2-3 days on average now.
I honestly think ending aging would be a boon for society. Because the death rate will plummet to accidental deaths, suicides, and homicides only, which are a tiny fraction of total overall deaths.
Therefore overpopulation is going to very quickly motivate world society to get its collective shit together to solve the nagging problems that have been holding us back, and encourage expansion into the rest of the solar system. Because if the issues weren’t solved, even the wealthy elite would be threatened.

Be really careful, I couldn’t tell which one exactly from your post, but as time goes on, you’re going to have to watch out either for people trying to drive a wooden stake through your heart, or chop your head off with a sword to steal your power. Just wanted to toss out a helpful FYI.
