I have been squatting for years and I'm constantly amazed by how little other Americans can do it. It's such a comfortable rest position for me that I'll actively choose to squat versus sitting on a particularly shitty chair. So much so that I wish I had a squat toilet because they're wildly more comfortable for me.

These exist in India but are falling out of fashion

I have straight up squatted on top of western toilets and it's great, I would love one of these. I would advise putting a layer of TP on the water though to prevent splashback
