    Just as soon as people quit pissing on it.

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

      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!

        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.

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

        You seem quite passionate about this?

          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!

        It’s standard in Germany to sit when pissing.

        I’m north of the border. Here it’s apparently standard not to use the urinals either, but men will walk into the booths and still piss standing.

        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.

          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.

    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?

          Then why do we use them on our assholes?

          The epithelial cells keep reproducing, so any cells your tear off while wiping gets replaced.

          But I still concur: it’s 2025, we sent people to the moon almost 60 years ago, we built a world wide computer network, and I can watch porn on a little plastic rectangle, using wireless headphones, so nobody notices that I’m jerking off on the bus (ok, that last part isn’t true, they definitely did notice, and I’m not allowed to drive the school bus anymore /s) … still though, we’ve come so far, and we’re still wiping our asses with dried tree mush? Wtf? At least we’re not using the toilet brush like the Romans, but how about we tried something other than scraping feces from our skin? Maybe a build in bidet? I have never found them in the wild, but when I do, I can guarantee that I’m trying out the warm water and blow dryer options… Maybe while using my wireless headphones and plastic rectangle ;-)

          Are we stupid? (don’t answer that)

          Yes (sorry, too stupid to understand rhetorical questions)

        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.

        Fyi: clean Glases with a drop of dish Soap(rub with finger) and water. Then clean/polish it with a napkin/toilet paper. Dont use excessive force lol. Just cotton will eventually cause scratches just as well as napkins

    For those who are surprised at the hardness of toilet paper and or paper towels, find a bare aluminum object and rub toilet paper or paper towels on its surface. Really hard with a lot of pressure. It won’t take much for black swarf to become visible on the paper as a fine black powder of aluminum is ground off.

    I got a woodstove recently and got the same warning about the glass door on the front. Don’t clean it with paper towels or it will scratch up the glass. They recommend using newspaper instead.
