Just out of morbid curiosity. Do you sit or stand up to wipe, maybe even both?

In a public stall I'll sit. At home I crouch on the toilet bowl like a bird, makes pooping very easy, and you get the least amount of poop contacting your cheeks

Some people who grew up with squat toilets, like to squat on other toilets too. Thats why in some countries you see a lot of signs like this in public stalls:

What's the best way to go to the toilet – squatting or sitting?

I saw signs like that in Japan at Chinese establishments. Also ones showing that you face away from the toilet while sitting on it.

Blew my mind.

I've seen the signs in a tech office in San Francisco

Yes, but rotated a few degrees to the right. I just feel like, if you had to shit in nature, you'd obviously do this, I'm not above the ergonomics of that.

I'm also lightweight, and I wouldn't do it in public because shoes on a seat is fuckin gross, also people would notice that in stalls, also you'd have to remove your pants entirely to not be fuckin gross, and I wouldn't put excess weight on other people's toilets
