The answer is simple, I guess... But better yet, who came up with the idea? Obviously, this crucial existential question overwhelmed me while I was taking a crap...
Doing some research (after washing hands), one can quickly find out that, apparently, the use of toilet paper was invented by the Chinese. Does this mean that if Chinese people wouldn't have been fleeing from their country for the last decades, dispersing all over the globe, we wouldn't be wiping our asses with paper? Maybe not...
Also interesting is the fact that, in some parts of the world, wealthy people once used other materials, like wool, for the same shitty job. Not only could they clean their ass, but it would also be warm and cozy.
As for the Romans, they stretched their empire using a sponge on a stick and a bucket of saltwater. No wonder the Roman empire fell...
As for people in India, they seem to find that using water is a more clean and sanitary practice. Of course it is! But not in India...
So, choose your method and wipe your ass.
