Researchers have come up with two new urinal designs to prevent the spillage of “ill-aimed pee.”

    Just thinking how many times I use a urinal a year, multiply by population, the only way this makes sense is with some number of people just pissing onto the floor.

        Yes I’ve been saying this for at least 20 years. Toilets are for sitting and urinals are for standing. My wife also appreciates this.

          The problem is: This only works if EVERYONE does it. The second anyone breaks and gets a few drops on the toilet seat, it’s over. Because that is part of the reason we stand in the first place. We know how gross we are, and if you can see the gross it validates that.

          I hate society 😔 lmfao

      I can’t speak for the whole country but where I work people really do just piss on the floor.

        So you think the average person uses a public urinal more than 365 times a year? Also about half the population sit.

          I didn’t write the article :)

          If you’re angry about the math comment, bust out a calculator. You could have reached that verdict yourself.

          About three times per day during the work day makes for ~800 times per year. Seems to be on the right order of magnitude to me.
