why do urinals exist (hexbear.net)

they're literally just worse toilets. you can't shit in a urinal but you can both shit and piss in a toilet. therefore urinals are complwtely redundant. just use the urinal space for more toilets

I think those are specifically Brit invention, i never seen them outside anglo countries.

i've seen some here in hungary, so i doubt it. there are the newer ones made of some kind of metal trough but i think i also saw a really old stone/tile one too, that was even more splashbacky.
