For anyone who’s curious, reclaimed water toilets are, indeed, a thing.
Yeah, you don’t need the urinal to be under the sink. You can just run a pipe to the urinal…
Or run the peenus directly to the sink.
Yeah, I was a little confused by the choice of meme there, since this is actually a thing. https://www.sinkology.com/product/sinksense-greenflow-toilet-tank-sink/
I’ve actually seen those (or rather some quite similar to them) in the wild a few times. They’re not very convenient to use (because the seat is in the way) even though you can’t help but think they’re a great idea each time you use them.
I’m not going to bother to research, but I’m sure there must be models where the sink faces the side of the toilet. It’d take up more space, but still less space than a totally separate sink and toilet.
There absolutely are, this one is just more or less exactly what was described in the meme.
You have to straddle the toilet backwards to use it pressing your member against the back of the toilet and sit down after peeing. 4/5 Stars.
My favorites have the sink next to the toilet rather than in one piece, yes.
You could do that with plumbing which you would have to do anyways.
I had one in Japan, it was pretty neat.
so that when men wash their hands
Do the men in your life not wash their hands? 🤢
Public men’s restrooms make me not want to shake hands with anyone. The number of men who walk out straight past the sinks without stopping is alarming and disgusting.
When I worked fast food, I usually had to fill the men’s soap but rarely the women’s soap.
This could mean the place had more male traffic, women don’t wash their hands as often, or something else. Who knows.
Women bring their own soap.
(This is a joke but also I kind of almost believe it)
(Also this joke if kind of stolen from the game Life Is Strange)
That is one of my favorite games.
women don’t wash their hands as often
I could believe this. Not saying the men’s are much better as I’d say they’re definitely just as bad, but my wife used to tell me horror stories about the women’s restrooms before she swore off ever using one again outside of emergencies.
Some men don’t even wipe their ass. 🤷♂️
Can I downvote you for saying something which, regardless of if it’s true or not, definitely should have been left unsaid?
let it crust like a sigma 🔥🗣️
Peel it off like a freshly completed 3D print; crackling noises and all.
The itchy sting is how you know it’s working
I’m borderline obsessive about it personally. Like after bathroom, right before eating, and right after some gardening. And it is fucking disgusting how many dudes I witness in public restrooms walk straight out. I used to call them out, but it’s not worth the hassle anymore.
But from a purely subjective pov, never touch another dude’s hands because odds are they haven’t washed them in days.
From what I’ve seen in my 30 years of life 90% of men don’t wash their hands
Not just the men, but the women and children too!
I found that it depends on the level of education. University: People wash their hands. The logistics center right next door: “What’s a sink?”
I was at a major concert the other day waiting in line for the bathroom. So many men just strolled out of there without even looking at the sink.
i mean i get it. i was cooking at an event and the way i wash up, well, a man there accused me of prepping for surgery. i was only washing three inches above my wrist. gran’s an RN so we might have grown up knowing how to clean.
I am a janitor for a college and you’d be appalled at how rarely I have to fill the soap dispensers in both the men’s and the women’s restrooms, there’s a lot of folks who just don’t wash their hands in general
American Exceptionalism
This is already a thing, and it’s not just for urinals.
Came to share that. I saw it a lot when I was traveling.
That makes way more sense than Riker-maneuvering yourself around these awkward things:
Edit: Riker Maneuver if you’re unfamiliar with the term.
I think for those, you go with the butters.
Japan has these basically at a few bars I went to. Saves on space as well.
How awkward are they to use?
I typically just straddle the bowl, that way I can get two things done at once.
Depends how you feel about all the cameras
Seems fine to me
Your book might get wet with that there though.
you just answered question #2. thank you
It’s genuinely disturbing how many men I’ve seen not wash their hands.
I decide if I’m going to wash them based on the state of the bathroom. If all they have is air dryers (or worse, a single fabric towel… shudders) then I’m probably not gonna wash them. You can keep your filthy germ blowers thanks. Taps look dirtier than the urinals? Forget it. If the bathroom is clean, then ye sure, otherwise I just use hand sanitizer
I mean, yall go in with there with pants and leave with pants, right? Wash your hands and wipe them on your pants. Still cleaner than the alternative.
My dude, bandanas exist. Clean hands on your own bandana is as good as it gets.
Find what they call trainman, signalman or similar ones. They’re bigger, tend to be easy to find in thicker fabric, and can do other jobs as well.
As you roll up to the sink, pull the bandana out, drape it around your neck. Wash, shake a little, grab the bandana and dry off.
It’ll go right back in your pocket and not cause any problems very slightly damp. If need be, leave it hanging loosely around the neck or out of the pocket so it’ll dry.
Right?? I literally put them on blast outside the restroom sometimes lol
Just piss in the sink. I’ve been saying this for years
/r/sinkpissers
The one in the bathroom or any sink?
Kitchen. You save water by washing your dishes as you pee
I mean, it’s less cleanup for you if you do it in your neighbor’s sink.
Can’t you beat the system by pissing directly into the urinal sink and not washing your hands?
Instructions unclear, pissed on hands.
Counts.
Then men would have no reason to leave without washing their hands. Seriously dudes, I’m pleading over here, soap and water.
You think the dudes that don’t wash their hands are worried about flushing?
Grey water system.
I’m taller than most men though…I guess I’ll have to piss in the sink
Just have a combo urinal / sink.
Men don’t even flush urinals lmao
Most urinals flush automatically. Probably for that exact reason.
Brudi warst noch nicht in Japan oder? :D Also nicht mit dem urinal und so… Aber da haben die das.
Macht ja auch Sinn, genauso könnte man Abwasserleitungen mit Rädchen versehen die Strom erzeugen.
That makes sense, just like you could equip sewage pipes with wheels that generate electricity.
