Why are humans the only animals that need to wipe? Did hunter-gatherers walk with dirty butts?

My dogs eat right so they don’t have to wipe. It comes out solid and mostly dry. If they get into some people food then there might be a cleaning I’ll have to do.
Humans kinda eat poorly and our digestive systems are working overtime. So our poo comes out less then desirable. If I eat super great for a few days then there is almost zero wipe necessary.
If you eat only what you need then the only waste will be solid and “clean.” But us humans like to indulge on unnecessary foods and there is a lot of nasty waste our body needs to eject.
Sheep have their tails cut off because they get all kinds of problems due to poop sticking to it. Even then, if for some reason they get diarrhoea they usually have to be cleaned up to avoid anal clogging.
It’s because we haven’t mastered the 3 seashells, yet. But I hear there’s hope. As long as we don’t have many more murder-death-kills.
This is an interesting thought. Most humans actually use water to clean their butt. It’s only some cultures that have to use toilet tissues or equivalent to wipe.
That reminds me of…
The bear and the rabbit were walking in the woods. The bear asks the rabbit ‘do you have a problem with shit sticking to your fur?’ The rabbit answers no. So the bear picks him up and wipes his butt wit the rabbit.
Wipe?!? Wash, please
I think diet has a lot to do with it. If animals eat what they should eat they probably poop without leaving a bunch stuck to their ass. Same with humans. Sometimes you can wipe and its basically clean on the TP. Also if you evacuate completely and not pinch it off when only half came out helps.
Of course I could be full of shit too. I’ll let you decide.
Probably because we can’t reach our nethers and lick the stuff off to clean ourselves like other animals do,
Slightly off topic but sheep often have butt hygiene issues to the point that farmers dock their tails (or engage in mulesing, which is a particularly gruesome act) to minimise the health risks.
Also: look up the etymology of ‘dag’ for a particularly gross word origin.
