Someone went to college to figure this out

I'm skeptical about this.

There are like 170M dudes
And say each pee is about 300ml
Then 1 in 50 dudes needs to have a full pee on the floor every day.

Ok maybe that's a bit more believable

I'd hate to be the cleaner in that bathroom.

My biggest issue is stream strength. I have issues peeing and often dribble or have a split stream.

Yes I've talked to my urologist about it. Several in fact.

No it's not my prostate. No it's not a weak pelvic floor.

I've been suffering with this for almost 20 years and docs still don't know what's going on.

How would anyone know that??

I do like the Nautilus and wish the designed for everyone philosophy was the predominant one. Especially you get one lower level one put in when they could all be functional for everyone.

"The researchers' Cornucopia and Nautilus designs both achieved a significant reduction in urine splashing, with the Cornucopia performing best. However, the Nautilus was considered the most ideal design due to its height, which would allow shorter people — including children or those in wheelchairs — to more easily use it. Its larger gape would also be easier to clean, and would be more accepting of poor aim, and therefore would also be appropriate for use on boats or airplanes."

Which bathroom floor?

[-] Blumpkinhead@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Where is this bathroom so I can avoid it?

[-] zippythezigzag@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

And only half that in mop water

Thank you protestor. I mean it doesn’t even pass the possibility test. 300m people population, 1m litres ≈ 300L per person, per day?
