Yes, someone did lose some minutes to fake this photo for likes. Good joke tho.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Compression so garbage can't tell if it's from ps or a label maker sticker.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I give you that, can very much be!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Sticker would be so much better... I think I need a label maker now 🤣

says the literal grammar police

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It's obviously photoshopped. What are you talking about?

[–] [email protected] -5 points 5 days ago (2 children)

So what? If you don't find it funny, downvote and move on. Quit whingeing!

So you're not just the grammar police, you're the comment section police as well...

Did you wake up this morning and thought to yourself "I'm going to pick the most inane hill to fight for today"?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

I was gonna ask why are you being a Constant Pain, but then it hit me.

Good one, but it's harder to catch than the first guy's pun with the piss off.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I'm so sad to see people missing the pun and down voting...

You got an audible grunt from me with that one sir, good job!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

Glad at least one person could get it :)

4U2PN2 - "for you to pee into"

The serial number is on a urinal.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Thank you. They should make that a fake serial number on all of them and put the real one on the back.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Narrator: that's what they did

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Glad to know I am as dumb as advertised.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

Nah, I'm just sceptical of everything and assume things are intentional

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

thought you called yourself a man-idiot

It’s beautiful

I was today years old when I realised Americans have to manually flush their urinals. It’s basically half the advantage gone.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Depends where you are and how old the place is. Newer places (last 15ish years or so) will have the auto flush toilets but most businesses only upgrade the bathrooms when things brake.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Not if the office building is constructed with mobile capabilities.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

No they meant brake. Like, the urinal's smooth and continued function brakes. Comes to a halt.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure most places outside the US just use the huge metal trough that the US seems to reserve for stadiums

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Where did you get this information from?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 days ago (7 children)

I'm curious where you're from that every single urinal in the whole country has been upgraded.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

I'm from Ireland but pretty much any country I've been has all been automatic urinals

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

I haven't seen a manual flush urinal in Finland in years either

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I live in Belgium and the last time I remember having to flush one of these was at least 10 years ago without exaggeration

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

and zero flush toilets exist in the wonderful benelux

[–] WoodScientist 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I assume that in Benelux, they're all just using squat toilets that have to be rinsed out with a bucket of water?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

nah, we have those wonderful german poop shelf toilets so we can analyze our excrement

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

I have never seen a manual urinal in Britain. Never.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (2 children)

In the UK all the urinals in the bathroom will be flushed automatically at the same time using an auto-syphon that is attached to a tank that's slowly and continuously filled with water.

So it requires no moving parts or electricity, and flushes automatically at a regular interval depending on how fast the water supply is.

And it's been that way basically forever.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Sounds like a waste of water. Why not simply use motion sensors or flushless urinals like they do in the US?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

The modern ones do, this was the solution before motion sensors

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That's awesome! Do you by chance know what they are called? I did a quick search but all I see are electronic ones.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They're typically just called a "urinal automatic syphon"

Here's a great Steve Mould video on them if you want to learn more

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Thanks. I love Steve Mould.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

It's not even upgrade, even twenty years ago, most of them were either always rinsing or on some sort of intermittent timer. I guess when they were just a big communal trench it didn't make sense for them to be flushed by an individual. (UK / various Europe)

[–] biggerbogboy 4 points 5 days ago

I'm from Australia and it's been like 8 years since I've manually flushed

[–] ayyy 1 points 5 days ago

Places that have never known water shortage.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago

Once I did my business at a public urinal in Texas and was walking away and then as I was washing my hands this old white guy that went to use the urinal after me gave me a dirty look. And only then did I realize that it was not a self flushing urinal, like it's been so long since I've seen one that it needs to be manually flushed that I didn't even consider that.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago

Probably less than half of them

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

We do? Urinals with manual flush are rare. These days there's either a motion sensor, or a flushless urinal installed.
