    ok, sidepoint, but the other day I realized that urinals are just dedicated walls for people to pee on and I think that’s really sweet

    You guys with your weird water-to-the-brim toilets. My first encounter with an American toilet made me think it was clogged. So I pissed outside to satiate my feral needs.

      the hell kind of toilet were you using? they usually have water in like the bottom third and the water level only goes up for a moment when you flush.

        That’s just because they don’t have water in European toilets, they flush by spitting into the toilet until the poo goes down.

          weird that the hole is in the front. most American toilets have the hole directly under your butthole and the poop just goes straight in (most of the time) with the water breaking it’s fall on the way.

        We have an older style with a ton of water, as well as the new “water wise” version. More water is better, but honestly, flushing twice isn’t an issue.

          do y’all not have the kind where you press one button for pee (uses very little water bc no solid mass to move) and one for poop (more water, but still less than normal toilets)? those are pretty common here in the states now bc they save a lot of water.

            Nope, just the good old fashioned, freedom-loving single lever. I’ve seen the button one at restaurants and offices and whatnot, but never in someone’s home. I have three toilets in my house, my parents have three, and my siblings each have two or three, and all of them use a single lever. Some of them have less water in the bowl, but all of them use the standard flushing mechanism.

            It turns out water is pretty cheap even in my desert state (Utah), the city just does a good job cleaning it up for reuse (I think it goes to irrigation, not completely sure). So while we have incentives for reducing gardening water (especially lawns), electricity, and gas use, I haven’t seen an incentive for those low-flow toilets for residential homes, probably because toilets aren’t user of water (showers use a ton more).

    Okay hear me out, the water splashes less. It makes sound but if you piss on the ceramic the piss moisture comes back at you which is disgusting.

        Trick-pissing champ here, the real homies bank their shots off the shower walls first before swirling it around the bowl for the finale. If I’ve been drinking heavily the night before, I’ll piss fakey or throw in some yoga poses to up the challenge. The only way to be great is to push yourself a little farther each time you step up to the bowl.

          Behind the knee and then over the shoulder has always been a crowd pleaser for me. I’ve had friends recently get into the long distance bracket, they often practice with their backs against the wall and piss hitting the urinal in a public washroom. They often score for distance and duration.

      The main reason to aim for the water is as contingency for split streams. Aim for center so that split streams have less chance of breaching the toilet bowl perimeter

        Yeah, I start the stream slow in the center, then move to the ceramic as I increase the pressure. As the stream weakens, I move to the center-back so I don’t drip on the seat.

        My wife wants me to sit down, but I sometimes sneak in a standing pee and she never notices w/ this strategy.

        It’s the 3am total darkness pisses. You use the sound to locate your stream and angle. Then you can hit the water/bowl interface and then fire for effect.

        As the stream lessens you micro adjust to stay in the sweet zone.

        Nobody wants to hit the edge, spray all over your shins then bend over to wipe it up and slip in your own piss spray slippery floor and knock yourself out on the pissy rim only to wake up to all your family looking at you in distain as you lay on the pissy floor.

          This is why guys get married, to escape this hazaed… Night piss everywhere and ignore it, have the wife clean it up and complain endlessly.

          This is also the leading cause of divorce apparently, according to the Wikipedia article on the matter.

        No, the main reason is establish dominance with your loud, heavy flow piss stream. The splashes on the seat you intentionally kept down are there to mark your territory against any pissers that wish to challenge you.

      I’ve found the opposite. Due to the angles of the sides of the bowl, a majority of rebound splash inside the toilet still, whereas directly in the water you get the pee waters vouching back chaotically and making their way more on the rim and out of the toilet.

      I’ll add that I currently live in a house full of women, I’m the only male and women can absolutely fucking DESTROY bathrooms. I’ve never cleaned so much piss, beauty care debris, hair and blood in my whole life. Maybe lets chill on the gender bullshit before you get yourself so hyped up you have to retreat to your friendly discord server of mindless, performative people who support your every stupid idea.

      Why do you put men in quotation marks? Almost seems like yer trying to stir up some trouble, pardner.

      If the men around you can’t aim or clean up after themselves, that’s a them problem. And I guess a you problem if you have to deal with it, but even more so if you’re too chickenshit to call it out. I’ve never left a bathroom less clean than when I went in, and a lot of people have this same attitude. A lot don’t, but a lot do also.

      Those men sound like they:

      1. can’t aim
      2. don’t lift the seat

      That said, I tend to sit out of consideration for my wife, but I’m good about etiquette when in a hurry.

        About 1.: it’s always good aim until the pressure is gone and you’re about to finish.
