    I was trying to find the damn article but I can’t dammit. It’s about how if you put a sticker that looks like a fly in the right spot in a urinal then people will try to pee the fly away. Which keeps piss off the floor.

    It’s a legitimate scholarly economics article which is the funniest part. I know the author and he thought he would never be publishing about how to get people to piss straight.

      I think I’ve read it before! And I think I’ve seen it implemented in public urinals.

        Do you have a copy? If it’s the same paper I’m thinking of he literally left economics because his department started calling him the piss economist after this.
