As much as Toto charges for these, I don't think they should be defeated by toilet paper. Do better.

[-] capital@lemmy.world 59 points 4 months ago

Just as soon as people quit pissing on it.

I supposedly go to work in a building with other adults.

[-] P1nkman@lemmy.world 27 points 4 months ago

Men who stand to piss has never had to clean the bathroom. It's standard in Germany to sit when pissing. It's also healthy for men, so if you're standing, especially at home, sit the fuck down!

[-] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 23 points 4 months ago

I clean my bathroom, and stand to pee. It's fine.

[-] girthero@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

sit the fuck down!

Nein!

[-] locahosr443@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

Healthier how? I also clean and stand, and put the seat down to flush.

You seem quite passionate about this?

[-] P1nkman@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Yes, I am, because people should do what's healthy for them. It's not like I don't stand when I'm out in the woods/in public toilets/in my garden (for the plants), but sitting let's more urine out, making less of a mess of those small droplets than you can't get out.

On that note, after you've pissed, try dragging your finger from underneath your balls and forward towards your balls - you'll be surprised how much urine you'll push out!

[-] sem 7 points 4 months ago

So standard that they had to have an influence campaign to shame men into "sitz pickling" in homes.

I'm saying this as a man sitting on a toilet peeing at this very moment, so I'm all in favor. But I think the other commenters should know the history.

Personally I'm in favor of sitting when plumbing is involved, and standing out in nature.

[-] socsa@piefed.social 6 points 4 months ago

Don't tell me what to do

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago

Men standing to pee is not nearly as bad as women who hover.

[-] Krudler@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Ah, another person who doesn't have a penis, who doesn't understand that when you sit down and compress everything and then stand up, piss goes everywhere.

Shut up and never speak again on how men should urinate. Unless you're going to equally advocate that men have appropriate waste disposal tools in bathrooms, such as stand-up urinals.

[-] P1nkman@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

You really want to see men's penis so they can prove they're male? I can take a picture of you don't believe me, though, it's weird, but I'll do it.

Fuck am i supposed to wipe them with, a microfiber cloth?

[-] ramsorge@discuss.online 27 points 4 months ago
[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

It's right there in the thumbnail. Just scoop up that pee and poo in your hand like our ancestors did

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 26 points 4 months ago

If I shouldn't wipe the seat with toilet paper because it creates micro-scratches, what the hell does it do to my ass?! I don't want to risk scratches or discolouration either!

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

To be fair, your ass can likely heal micro scratches and your toilet seat probably cannot.

How on Earth does a toilet seat get scratched from TP?? Are the seats made with super shitty material or is the toilet paper the ass-tearing sandpaper kind?

[-] repungnant_canary@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

Even normal tp and tissue fibers are actually surprisingly hard. For example if you wear glasses you should not use tissues to wipe the glasses because it will eventually damage the coating. Something like a cotton T-shirt will be more friendly to your glasses (but it's probably not a good idea to wipe a toilet seat with your t-shirt)

[-] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 months ago

Then why do we use them on our assholes? Are we stupid? (don't answer that)

The same reason you don't open letters or cut open cartons with your kitchen knives, also the same reason your kitchen knives should never end up in your dishwasher.

I knew I should've worded it differently...

[-] veganpizza69@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago
[-] hungryphrog 2 points 4 months ago

But what kind of toilet paper gives one paper cuts?

[-] garretble@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago

“You’re doo-doo-ing wrong.”

[-] vane@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Am I to high or this toilet looks like head with open mouth ? edit: The thumbnail has somehow flipped shadow.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

It looks like the face from Mars is enjoying his new job.

In stead, bless the rains down in Africa. 60% of the time, it works every time.

[-] TheObviousSolution@lemm.ee 12 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

If it cannot withstand paper, it cannot withstand underwear. This doesn't inspire me with security and reads more like the company trying to push away responsibility for cheap products and/or bad design. Toilets are nothing new, every country has at least a few.

* Pulls off mask, revealing "includes features like ... an air dryer".

Funny thing about air dryers and using them near plastics... Yeah, guys, to the people trying to argue that toiler paper is now sandpaper, one, I'm going to venture a guess that an air dryer does more damage, and two, I'm going to trigger you by telling you how I've been using toilet paper to clean my glasses and no problem, they even still have that blue surface level "anti-reflection" protection.

[-] noxypaws@pawb.social 4 points 4 months ago

why are people wiping toilet seats with toilet paper?

especially washlets where you're definitely sitting down to enjoy the seat heating??

[-] a_baby_duck@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Too impatient to wait for the Japanese toilet to blow my freshly-bideted asshole dry, but polite enough to wipe up the questionably poopy water that drips from it when I stand up too soon.

[-] noxypaws@pawb.social 3 points 4 months ago

why is the water still poopy?? rinse more!

and just use the TP to dab your butt dry, rather than letting it drip and then wiping up the drips!

[-] grahamja@reddthat.com 3 points 4 months ago

Public japanese toilets have bathroom cleaner dispensers on the wall with a picture saying to use toilet paper to clean the seat. The Japanese are notorious for cleaning up after themselves, as well as having clean public facilities.

Example:

This is why we should have let the Wicked Witch of the West get away with it.

[-] rusticus@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

Duh. Everybody knows you should use your tongue.
