I'm actually serious, which button is the right one? Why are there two?

Also should a Pic of a toilet be considered NSFW?

IT IS FOR WATER CONSERVATION: The larger lever is to flush out around 6 to 9 liters of water, whereas the smaller lever is to flush out around 3 to 4.5 liters of water. Clearly, the larger one is to flush solid waste and the smaller one is to flush liquid waste.

I thought it was one for pee, two for poo.
