I don't know why, but this big complex pipe structure was situated above the urinal. When you flush, the red light goes off and the green light goes on, and all the pressure dials start going crazy.

This is not a urinal, this is an inter-dimensional time space teleportation device

Or PISSER for short.

After you flush it the world changes in a few scuddle ways

I don't know why

My dude have you ever heard of "just for fun?"

Well somebody installed it, of course, but the place is currently the storefront of a noodle shop that used to be a food cart. My guess is it wasn't them, but it feels like the ratio of probable cost to value is way out of wack for any restaurant unless this somehow fit into an aesthetic somehow.

Edit: It used to be called "Industrial Cafe and Saloon", and had an industrial/metal theme. Which does, indeed, explain this.

Are you in a nuclear submarine?

That's an awesome Rube Goldberg machine of a pisser.

Hopefully whoever built that will make a version for the Chinese sperm extractor machine next.

Of the Chinese what now?!

There is a chain of hotels/bars/breweries/distilleries/... called McMenamins, they have a few bathrooms like this. Damn cool

Now I want their Cajun tots…

[-] axtualdave@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

fyi - you can buy their Cajun seasoning mix online. Add to tater tots yourself. Now you don't need to wait 45 minutes for tots!

[-] BigPapaE@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Oh thanks that’s a great tip!

[-] caut_R@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Looks like you could make an alarm go off if you use it „well“ enough lol

[-] Kotton@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Does the red light mean it's out of order? Or is that some kind of red light special?

[-] Kotton@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Oops, didn't read the body!

When the light is green, the trap is clean.

[-] Waitwuhtt@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

That's really nice. Waaaay better than those pictures of women laughing or whatever.

Where is this? I wanna pee there.

[-] Offlein@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

"Bing Mi Dumpling and Noodle Bar" in Northwest Portland, Oregon. Food was pretty good too fwiw.

[-] Dio@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Wow, after eleven years, it's still there.

Grey box is a flow sensor that turns lights on/off. Bell shaped thingy is a pressure reducing valve. Pressure gauges and valves are obvious. Not sure what the last thing is, maybe to prevent hammering?

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
