Apparently this design was popular in Germany a hundred years or so ago. Its key advantage was allowing the user to examine their stools for signs of digestive health problems.
its so annoying having to use tongs :/
You don’t have a knife?
We Germans like to take pride in our workmanship.
Story time: I once briefly lived in a place that had an old toilet bowl like this. You can still find them in older houses. One day I took a massive shit and then found out that the flush wasn’t strong enough to get it down from there. And there wasn’t a brush. Yikes. Just wanted to share that with you guys.
The trick is to put 3 pieces of toilet paper in beforehand, that way the whole shitboat can float away.
Goddamn I love me some Butters
So your shit just piles up on the upper part till it kisses your asshole?
They had these in Germany, too. If you took a particularly massive shit sometimes the water pressure wasn’t enough to shove it into the hole.
I already commented about a poop knife so I won’t repeat it here.
I’m confused, isn’t this a better spot for the drain hole? When you sit facing the wall? So you have a shelf for your comic books and chocolate milk?
Ah, touché
Pedophiles in the olympics, our strange toilets with the “poop shelf”; I just can’t win today.
Edit: it’s so you can inspect it. How is everyone else inspecting their poo?
Those are actually French toilets. They were designed like this so you can check for blood and other abnormalities. British toilets were designed so the poop would fall in the water, reducing the stench. The British design proved more popular, yet the French design is better with less splashing and for checking. It’s important to check, to find out if there’s something wrong with your intestines like cancer (black blood) or a tapeworm. The British didn’t find this important, just like washing hands after pooping.
You guys just like looking at poop
American toilets gave me culture shock
They’re so shallow that you can’t even sit down without your balls touching the bowl or the water
I hated them, they made me anxious. But much worse were the low stall walls. Why america, why? When I take a shit I want a wall that actually serves the purpose of not having people see me taking a shit.
On another note, the Dutch style toilets were very common in Germany up until the 90s. Rare nowadays. I think they are actually superior. You see it, if you have a problem with your shit and even the largest shit doesn’t splash water all over your intimate parts. On the other hand, you have to protect your balls from the large shit, when it goes “timber”.
I think you might want to get your balls looked at.
Which will be easy to do, considering they’re dangling out of his pant legs
The poop shelf makes it easier to use the poop knife.
