A common way at Volvo Cars is to write and talk about dates in this way; week two day three, or 20wk02d3 or just 20w02d3.

Everyone should read about how Finland is governance the country with new ideas and concepts, other countries do is just stupid and based on different bias, political views or just idiocy in some cases.

The experiment of basic income was not intended to expand to the whole country it was a study, to gather data.

Got TL;DR for the Swedish-impaired? The sole illustration is not terribly enlightening.

There are many varieties of things in nature you can use to wipe with, in contrast to the modern choice which has been reduced to white paper with or without printed flowers.

One can carve sticks out of firewood, and use them to scrape residue off. It was important that the sticks had a smooth and sharp edge. They take about a minute to make. They are disposeable, and you could make them ahead of time. When you cut wood with an axe, you get a lot of tiny pieces of wood left which are great for this. You could not use human poop as manure in situations where the used sticks would cause trouble. You did not wash your hands, because you only held onto the end of the stick that hasn't been in your butt.

In case you were out and didn't want to make sticks, you could use moss. Or fruticose lichen (tree moss, old man's beard). The lichen is better than moss because moss is wet. In an emergency, snow works, but it is very cold. Hay and other forms of dead grass work too.

This worked because poop was less sticky in the old days. The types of food they ate made their poop come out in solid pellet form. They did get stomach bugs with the associated loose stool, but simply had to take it for the nuisance it was. Maybe try to get hold on some water to clean off.

I'm working at a major auto manufacturer so I can confirm that devices like this are introduced.
