Good. It's tiresome getting 265,000 gallons of urine on my feet each time I go to pee.
How do you clean the cornucopia?
Ive seen urinals that were basically the nautilus design like 25 years ago in canada. Not sure where they all they went though because i dont recall seeing any recently, but its definitely not a brand new concept.
I like the idea, but people have a bad habit of just pissing all over the urinal itself. Some people have remarkably bad aim. Make it wide, haha.
Sometimes it splits into two streams that cannot physically be aimed in the same 90° directional vicinity. At that point, you just have to accept that you’re pissing on your shoe.
Stop the stream, pull back on the head of your dick so that the urethra is fully opened. That should fix about 90% of your split stream issues.
can't say i've ever experienced that one, skill issue?
Most of it is probably from a guy i saw in a wal.art bathroom, dude was like 3 ft tall and just pissed under the urinal. Can't really blame him tbh, urinals get hung pretty high up.
I mean you’ve got him and you’ve got the 7’ tall guys. Neither one will be happy.
That splashback volume is the daily amount in the US alone, although since the number is translated from 1 million liters, that seems like such a nice big round number that I’m not sure how accurate it is.
But what about sink efficiency?
Just pee in someones mouth, they are the one that have to make sure there are no splashes.
This tech is taking away honest peoples jobs.
The cornucopia design seems damn near impossible to clean… and if people are bad enough at aiming anyways I feel like they may just aim straight past the side of the thing
I never got the point of urinals. You hamper the efficiency of a bathroom for what?
To pee sideways instead of down? And to potentially wait twice as long to shit.
I'd rather wait to pee than to wait for someone to finish shitting.
i think urinals are only useful in places with LOTS of people with dicks who'll need to take a leak, places like stadiums and such. It's not really about them being more space efficient (it's not a very big difference anyways) rather it's about them only being for peeing and thus you can cycle a lot more people through them quickly. It just means that anyone there with a dick can at least feel reassured that they don't have to wait ages to take a piss.
I refuse to accept that you are too stupid to understand that a urinal takes up less space than a fucking bathroom stall
Which is entirely lost when everyone follows the golden unwritten "minimum one urinal apart" rule.
Surely that goes away once the bathroom is busy enough, no? Like on a bus once it's full it's not weird to sit next to someone, but if it's empty yeah that'd be weird to sit next to a stranger
Effectively they dont. The urinal stalls are the same width against the back wall.
And you can't build multiple urinals perpendicular to the back wall.
Of course it was published in the penis nexus journal XD
