Yes, someone did lose some minutes to fake this photo for likes. Good joke tho.

says the literal grammar police

[-] ConstantPain@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

It's obviously photoshopped. What are you talking about?

[-] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world -5 points 3 weeks ago

So what? If you don't find it funny, downvote and move on. Quit whingeing!

[-] ConstantPain@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

So you're not just the grammar police, you're the comment section police as well...

Did you wake up this morning and thought to yourself "I'm going to pick the most inane hill to fight for today"?

[-] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

I was gonna ask why are you being a Constant Pain, but then it hit me.

Good one, but it's harder to catch than the first guy's pun with the piss off.

[-] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

I'm so sad to see people missing the pun and down voting...

You got an audible grunt from me with that one sir, good job!

[-] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Glad at least one person could get it :)

[-] untorquer@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

Compression so garbage can't tell if it's from ps or a label maker sticker.

[-] ConstantPain@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

I give you that, can very much be!

[-] untorquer@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Sticker would be so much better... I think I need a label maker now 🤣

4U2PN2 - "for you to pee into"

The serial number is on a urinal.

[-] DrBob@lemmy.ca 45 points 3 weeks ago

Thank you. They should make that a fake serial number on all of them and put the real one on the back.

[-] JoeyHarrington@lemmy.ca 45 points 3 weeks ago

Narrator: that's what they did

[-] DrBob@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 weeks ago

Glad to know I am as dumb as advertised.

[-] JoeyHarrington@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 weeks ago

Nah, I'm just sceptical of everything and assume things are intentional

[-] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 weeks ago

thought you called yourself a man-idiot

"Eli, Man-Idiot, at your service"

[-] Someplaceunknown@lemm.ee 26 points 3 weeks ago

It’s beautiful

[-] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 19 points 3 weeks ago

I was today years old when I realised Americans have to manually flush their urinals. It’s basically half the advantage gone.

[-] StrawberryPigtails@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 3 weeks ago

Depends where you are and how old the place is. Newer places (last 15ish years or so) will have the auto flush toilets but most businesses only upgrade the bathrooms when things brake.

[-] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago
[-] tomenzgg@midwest.social 3 points 3 weeks ago

Not if the office building is constructed with mobile capabilities.

No they meant brake. Like, the urinal's smooth and continued function brakes. Comes to a halt.

[-] Lesrid@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

I'm pretty sure most places outside the US just use the huge metal trough that the US seems to reserve for stadiums

[-] Remavas@programming.dev 1 points 3 weeks ago

Where did you get this information from?

[-] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

I'm curious where you're from that every single urinal in the whole country has been upgraded.

[-] Dontfearthereaper123@lemm.ee 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I'm from Ireland but pretty much any country I've been has all been automatic urinals

[-] vaionko@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 weeks ago

I haven't seen a manual flush urinal in Finland in years either

[-] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 5 points 3 weeks ago

I live in Belgium and the last time I remember having to flush one of these was at least 10 years ago without exaggeration

[-] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 1 points 3 weeks ago

and zero flush toilets exist in the wonderful benelux

[-] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

I assume that in Benelux, they're all just using squat toilets that have to be rinsed out with a bucket of water?

[-] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 2 points 3 weeks ago

nah, we have those wonderful german poop shelf toilets so we can analyze our excrement

[-] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 4 points 3 weeks ago

I have never seen a manual urinal in Britain. Never.

[-] biggerbogboy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago

I'm from Australia and it's been like 8 years since I've manually flushed

[-] Acamon@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

It's not even upgrade, even twenty years ago, most of them were either always rinsing or on some sort of intermittent timer. I guess when they were just a big communal trench it didn't make sense for them to be flushed by an individual. (UK / various Europe)

[-] gmtom@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

In the UK all the urinals in the bathroom will be flushed automatically at the same time using an auto-syphon that is attached to a tank that's slowly and continuously filled with water.

So it requires no moving parts or electricity, and flushes automatically at a regular interval depending on how fast the water supply is.

And it's been that way basically forever.

[-] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

That's awesome! Do you by chance know what they are called? I did a quick search but all I see are electronic ones.

[-] gmtom@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

They're typically just called a "urinal automatic syphon"

Here's a great Steve Mould video on them if you want to learn more

[-] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks. I love Steve Mould.

[-] Psythik@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

Sounds like a waste of water. Why not simply use motion sensors or flushless urinals like they do in the US?

[-] gmtom@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

The modern ones do, this was the solution before motion sensors

[-] zjti8eit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 3 weeks ago

Probably less than half of them

[-] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

Once I did my business at a public urinal in Texas and was walking away and then as I was washing my hands this old white guy that went to use the urinal after me gave me a dirty look. And only then did I realize that it was not a self flushing urinal, like it's been so long since I've seen one that it needs to be manually flushed that I didn't even consider that.

[-] Psythik@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

We do? Urinals with manual flush are rare. These days there's either a motion sensor, or a flushless urinal installed.
