@Rob might be true, but I'd say main usage of toilets is for the frontal stuff. Though on second thought, it doesn't usually make the toilets dirty. ;)

Rob

~50% of the people sit.

I just ran a poll about it.

Rob

Was it runny?

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@Rob solid

Glad to know I was in one of the tiebreaker categories :P

It's split turdy tree and a turd between sit and stand.

rene

worst is when you have to transit from standing to sitting ...

Rob

@ShadowWizardWearingMask Skewing the results is that some toilets are designed not to be sat on, and in some parts of the world they are popular:

Squat toilet

A squat toilet (or squatting toilet) is a toilet used by squatting, rather than sitting. There are several types of squat toilets, but they all consist essentially of a toilet pan or bowl at floor level. Such a toilet pan is also called a "squatting pan". The only exception is a "pedestal" squat toilet, which is of the same height as a sitting toilet. The user of a sitting toilet can also squat, but this requires extra care as such toilets are not designed for squatting. A squat toilet may use a water seal and therefore be a flush toilet, or it can be without a water seal and therefore be a dry...

@Tinkeringbell :D

@Rob :(

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

Wait... you sometimes stand?! @Tink

Oh, when it's dirty?

Tinkeringbell

4:18 PM

@ShadowWizardWearingMask Yeah..

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

hehe

@rene depends what you got

@Rob meh, doubt any of my followers or those who voted in the poll use such toilets. ;)

Meta Andrew T.

@ShadowWizardWearingMask lucky I didn't vote it then ;p

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

Also, does a hole in the ground count as Squat toilet? That's what I had for some periods of time during army. @Rob

Other than that, only "modern" toilets for me. :P

@MetaAndrewT. well you can always add a comment. ;)

toilet overflow?

Rob

@ShadowWizardWearingMask Try the centrifugal toilet:

Ann Zen

@JourneymanGeek Do you see deleted comments like how 10K+ rep users see deleted posts?

Journeyman Geek

kinda sorta

there's a way to see it but its not visible by default

Ann Zen

@JourneymanGeek you need to toggle on the visible mode?

Journeyman Geek

there's a thing we need to click on to show it

which is good, especially on meta

Ann Zen

4:32 PM

I assume you click on it on regular posts?

Journeyman Geek

yup

@ShadowWizardWearingMask That air cooler is a scam, a fan and case worth a few dollars; sold for more than a real Air Conditioner, but on sale for 50% off - it runs on ice cubes:

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@Rob not those ice cubes?

Rob

Correct, you have to supply your own.

Previously sold as the cat pee air freshener.

@ShadowWizardWearingMask Water-T.

John Dvorak

@Rob I gotta admit... that is cool idea

Correction: it is an ice idea.

Rob

6:00 PM

@JohnDvorak If by any chance you thought it would be very effective here's the same design for 1/3 the price: walmart.com/ip/…

John Dvorak

I never said it was a good price.

Rob

... and they also sell the other unit for a bit less than the manufacturer does.

John Dvorak

OTOH... doesn't it mean your refrigerator has to work harder, and the net effect would be negative?

Rob

Opening your freezer door would cut out the middle man.

John Dvorak

but a freezer is harder to move around than a rack of ice cube bags

Rob

6:05 PM

If the hot air generated isn't exhausted from the space (as is done with an AC) then your only making the space warmer.

More efficient to wear an ice neck collar.

Journeyman Geek

Its a swamp/evaporative cooler

it does work, kinda

John Dvorak

Evaporative cooling only works while there's little water in the air. It's a bigger reservoir, but it's still just a reservoir. In the long term, you get wet hot air. And moldy walls.

Rob

True, it also works (best) using water spray and not solid ice: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporative_cooler

If I see a good edit that is pending while reviewing first posts, but I ran out of edit reviews, should I choose No Action Needed?
