I grew up with this type of Toilet.
Seated toilets were harder to shit in and I didn't like them at first, but bidet is a formidable upgrade to hand so I like seated toilets more now.
Oh also I used to be a Matt Walsh fan in highschool and now I hate sexists and overall fascism supporters including my old self with disgust.
Question for you: I used one of these in Istanbul airport. In a residential building that doesn't have a meter or more between the floors, is the bathroom only on the ground floor? If I installed one of these on the upper floor in my house, the bowl would stick out of the ceiling of the room below.
To my understanding, apartment or office buildings actually have quite a bit of space between floors. Not a meter, but more than enough.
Often there is a raised / false floor on the toilet area. So your bathroom isn't fully flat.
This is the right approach.
Our ancestors didn't have chairs-like places to take a shit, they just used any flat ground and did it on the ground, it doesn't really make sense to be in a sit position, it's counter-evolutive.
Get a little foot stool 10 or 15 cm tall to put your feet on while you shit. Recreates the squat position and unkinks your colon.
‘Oh, Squatty Potty’
Was skeptical when my wife bought one of these. She was right. It's actually quite useful and comfortable.
Ok do you squat to poop? You're not just pooping standing up right?
Yeah that’s a squat pot.
