I’ve seen them sparingly in some nice houses and hotels here in the US, but they were never common. But even as a US native, these are what come to mind when I hear the word “bidet.” Not the hoses that hook up to toilet bowls.
Yes. It’s the old style. Before they had the tech for the under seat ones. Some didn’t even have fountains and you’d fill it up and wash your ass with your hands.
Some (most?) Italians will do a bit of wiping and the move over. I guess you can even stand up and then sit on the bidet without wiping, as you’ll wash the whole area anyway?
That is a REAL bidet from long before anyone ever thought of a toilet hookup. You’ll find these throughout Europe and South America. Even the poorest houses have them.

That’s what the bowls are for. To catch any drips.
The bowls that look like dog bowls, one having food in it?
thats just being environmentally conscious.
I can’t explain it, but all the bidets I’ve seen (mainly continental Europe) have been like this.
They are usually placed a bit closer, so the move from the toilet to the bidet is just a scooch over.

I’ve never actually seen a hose attachment type irl. Neither are popular in the uk.
I think the bidet is to wash feet, but I could be wrong
Narrator: He was wrong.
You’re right: you were wrong
Oh my sweet sweet child

Why not the hung-on-wall showerhead types? Is this second bowl design more common than the handheld one?
I still can’t figure out how to use the showerhead while sitting. I always stand up. I guess the bidet fits people who likes to sit

Often used for quickly washing your pits, bits and feet. Not just as an automated ass wiper.
Might as well just shit in the bidet

Another use is sometimes you’ll wash your genitals without using the toilet
