Apparently this design was popular in Germany a hundred years or so ago. Its key advantage was allowing the user to examine their stools for signs of digestive health problems.

Not “a” knife. “The” knife.

I know the joke and all, but recently the local theme park has replaced their toilet brushes with toilet rubber shovels. They work surprisingly well. They can both hack'n'slash a log, but also the back side is also ripped so you can use it to brush out the regular shit from the sides, while avoiding the dreaded paper clutter and other issues with a toilet brush being used by thousands of people daily.

It's like toilet brushes evolving into poop knives. Looks like this: https://pin.it/OKHBRlxjI

Culture shock #2. A public American toilet may require "thousands" of toilet brushings daily.

Tell me you were exaggerating... Right?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah well, I'm not counting. On busy days, the toilets have queue lines all day long. Depending on the length of the visit and the willingness to use the brush, it's probably in the hundreds, or at least a lot more than anywhere else.

Hmm maybe brushed by staff once every 1-3 hours if visibly dirty?

This guy cleans commodes.

Amazon’s on Pinterest, then?

Neat design - could be quite effective under the rim. Just wonder about longevity of the hinge.

We Germans like to take pride in our workmanship.

A fellow Sprecher, I see! Happy cake day!

I dont need to examine my stools to know my digestive heath is horrific.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I thought it would just be for less splashing

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's definitely for less splashing. I hate the North American bowls that spray your ass when your turd dunks.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

You just need to adopt the American diet so that you either spray the toilet or your turd is so large that it enters the water before falling and doesn't splash.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Yep, but nowadays they are losing popularity. I don't even know if you can still find them.

Explains shit fetish or vice versa?
