stares in confusion But urinals are the absolute worst. Benefits: cost less money and less space. Drawbacks: lack of privacy and inevitable splashback. Why would you want them?
So I don't have to sit on a public toilet of questionable cleanliness. A small bit of splashback from my own piss is preferable.
The privacy just has never been a concern bc no one is trying to look at other people's dicks while pissing.
If you can use a urinal, you can piss in a toilet without sitting down.
...which has all the same splashback issues except youre much more likely to have some piss spray in sone random spot outside the bowl
Urinals are more convenient when you just need to take a quick piss. I don't get why another person next to you is a problem. Also just don't piss dead center into the thing considering splashback. Do I really have to explain pissing now?
Urinals offer exactly zero additional convenience, and there is no splashback-free angle.
You are doing something wrong. Urinals are designed to not have splashback.
No, they aren't. They're designed to be cheap, not effective.
I really don't know why we have to have this conversation right now.
What using urinals offer:
There is much less splash using a urinal than standing at a toilet. You're doing something very wrong if it's splashing all over the place (how tf?).
Basic physics. Toilets have zero splash because gravity exists. Urinals have maximum splash due to conservation of momentum.
Sorry to break it to you, but I guess you suck at taking a piss lol.
Also you can put a wall between urinals
Yes, it's not rocket science.
Rocket science isn't hard either
