I used to be strictly materialist and atheist. Now I’m pretty spiritual. Don’t necessarily follow a religion and don’t support bigotry but yeah, I’m fairly spiritual now. This is a recent development and I never thought I’d be here like 5 years ago.

I grew up with this type of Toilet.

Squat Toilet. Imagine a hole in the ground you squat over to do your business.

Seated toilets were harder to shit in and I didn't like them at first, but bidet is a formidable upgrade to hand so I like seated toilets more now.

Oh also I used to be a Matt Walsh fan in highschool and now I hate sexists and overall fascism supporters including my old self with disgust.

This is the right approach.

Our ancestors didn't have chairs-like places to take a shit, they just used any flat ground and did it on the ground, it doesn't really make sense to be in a sit position, it's counter-evolutive.

Get a little foot stool 10 or 15 cm tall to put your feet on while you shit. Recreates the squat position and unkinks your colon.

Question for you: I used one of these in Istanbul airport. In a residential building that doesn't have a meter or more between the floors, is the bathroom only on the ground floor? If I installed one of these on the upper floor in my house, the bowl would stick out of the ceiling of the room below.
