It took thousands of years for the infrastructure to reach a point where the wheel was actually useful. Niggas were inventing wheels, spokes, axles and shit all the time, there was just such a limited use for them that they didn't catch on until later. Wheels are shit when you only travel over ground where a sled-like contraption works better, or when the only times you're hauling shit is when you're taking meat back from a hunt, to which you're obviously not going to drag a cart.

For two decades I only wiped front to back because that's what everyone was saying, the few times anyone ever said anything about wiping.

three squares should be all you need.
one up
one down
one to polish
if you need more than this, you need to change your diet. see the perfect shit comes out in one movement, and cleanly pinches off. most of the time I wipe my ass, check the toilet paper and it's completely clean. the best shits though, cannot even be multi flushed, they need to soak for a while before they can pass the u bend.

Nah, nigga. What you do is you take two squares and fold them over so you've got that double-layer sturdiness and insulation. Then what you do is you wipe and fold it. Then you wipe and fold again, before going back for that last hairpin wipe that's the breadth of your finger. Finger-coordination is key at this point, or you'll get a stinky finger. Then, and only then, do you toss it, with the warm feeling of having cheated the paper industry out of their sheckels and maybe saved a tree or two over the years.

The best way to stay alive on your own is to be entirely transient, never stay anywhere more than a single sleep, never leave traces. Even then, if one day you run into a group of three, four people, it's pretty much all over if they want your stuff, or don't like your face.
