I used to be strictly materialist and atheist. Now I’m pretty spiritual. Don’t necessarily follow a religion and don’t support bigotry but yeah, I’m fairly spiritual now. This is a recent development and I never thought I’d be here like 5 years ago.

    I grew up with this type of Toilet.

    Squat Toilet. Imagine a hole in the ground you squat over to do your business.

    Seated toilets were harder to shit in and I didn’t like them at first, but bidet is a formidable upgrade to hand so I like seated toilets more now.

    Oh also I used to be a Matt Walsh fan in highschool and now I hate sexists and overall fascism supporters including my old self with disgust.

      This is the right approach.

      Our ancestors didn’t have chairs-like places to take a shit, they just used any flat ground and did it on the ground, it doesn’t really make sense to be in a sit position, it’s counter-evolutive.

      Question for you: I used one of these in Istanbul airport. In a residential building that doesn’t have a meter or more between the floors, is the bathroom only on the ground floor? If I installed one of these on the upper floor in my house, the bowl would stick out of the ceiling of the room below.

        Often there is a raised / false floor on the toilet area. So your bathroom isn’t fully flat.

        To my understanding, apartment or office buildings actually have quite a bit of space between floors. Not a meter, but more than enough.

        The drain pipe of the shitter can be embedded in the floor in some cases, even with seated toilets.

      I don’t understand how older or clumsy people use these without falling in their own shit on occasion. I feel like even for a relatively athletic person, the probability of an incident surely approaches one given enough time.
