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

consider this: the trough style of urinal where one wall is just a large continuous urinal allows for an incredible amount of simultaneous pissing if those with the stronger streams stand back one rank and piss in between their comrades in the fore

Under communism, there will be one international urinal running the length of the planet and all workers will pee as one united class.

And the pipe will end in Margaret Thatcher's grave.

The bodies of right-wingers will line the piss aqueduct like a mausoleum, but it ends in a wastewater reclamation plant to provide sustainable fertilisers and monitor public health. You WILL walk to the equator to piss in the urinal of the proletariat. You WILL reunify town and country.

IF THE ~~MAN~~ PERSON IN FRONT OF YOU FALLS, PICK UP ~~HIS~~ THEIR PENIS AND ADVANCE FORWARD

[–] SteamedHamberder@hexbear.net 16 points 3 weeks ago

Look to the left. Look to the right. One of you three will fail this piss.

[–] spudnik@hexbear.net 29 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Then when the one rank runs out of piss, they retire behind their comrades to kneel and chug water. With enough ranks of pissers it is possible to maintain a steady stream of well disciplined piss to overwhelm the enemy

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 18 points 3 weeks ago

Mens rooms should install stadium style bleachers so that multiple rows of people can piss over each other

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 15 points 3 weeks ago

Each guy is protected by the piss from the guy on the left and the guy on the right. A true piss phalanx

[–] someone@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago

I've been to several bathhouses with a group trough arrangement.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 30 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

Ah, but does the toilet come with a delicious complimentary cake? Didn't think so. 😏

[–] SteamedHamberder@hexbear.net 11 points 3 weeks ago

Let them eat [urinal] cake

[–] woodenghost@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago

Those are often scented hazardous waste. It's legal and cheap to dispose of it this way, because it's so insoluble, that every splash only flushes toxic waste amounts below the legal threshold in our water ways. But in the end everything ends up in the environment just the same.

[–] SteamedHamberder@hexbear.net 29 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You can probably fit a row of 5 urinals in the same space as two standard toilets. So turnover for upright pissers is significantly faster in the same bathroom.

[–] Lisitsyn@hexbear.net 11 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

how many shits can you fit in 5 urinals

[–] lil_tank@hexbear.net 13 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Bars typically have a very disproportionate shit to piss ratio because alcohol makes you piss a lot, so in this case it's totally worth it to use urinals for pissmaxxing

[–] booty@hexbear.net 11 points 3 weeks ago

ill shit my pants before i sit on a public toilet

[–] Abracadaniel@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

How many shits does a bathroom need to be able to turnover at once, compared to piss?

[–] SteamedHamberder@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago

biden-alert at least 3.

you can't shit in a urinal

Maybe I'm just built different but that isn't a challenge for me. I was probably a warrior in past lives.

[–] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 23 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's like pissing in a sink but socially acceptable.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

That's the most Italian thing i read today

[–] Bolshechick@hexbear.net 22 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Pissing into a urinal just hits different. I wish I had one at home

[–] Kopfrkingl@hexbear.net 35 points 3 weeks ago

You probably do. It's called a sink chad

[–] Wertheimer@hexbear.net 18 points 3 weeks ago

If you can think of a more efficient way to flavor urinal cakes I'm willing to listen.

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 17 points 3 weeks ago

Faster, no door. Not everyone has to speedrun the public washroom but some of us do

[–] ConcreteHalloween@hexbear.net 16 points 3 weeks ago

People need to piss more than they need to shit, so urinals save time. You don't have a bunch of people standing around waiting for a stall to open up.

If you notice what venues often have a lot of urinals, its often music venues and sports stadiums, i.e. places people drink a lot, so they piss a lot.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Cheaper, easier to clean, fulfills the inherent male urge to hit a target with their stream

[–] Lisitsyn@hexbear.net 9 points 3 weeks ago

it wont be easy to clean once i am done with em

[–] neo@hexbear.net 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

One little benefit is urinals take less water to flush. It’s like tricking dudes into using low flow toilets but without any griping and without the actual drawbacks of low flow toilets when they fail to properly carry away solid waste

The trough-type urinals do create a sort of solidarity between drunken pissers, but I don't think it's worth the psychic damage from seeing one of those clogged (with shit, I assume, though I did not take a closer look) and filled to the brim

[–] puppygirlpets@hexbear.net 13 points 3 weeks ago

nah put a couple of urinals in the ladies' so i don't have to wait so long to take a slash

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 13 points 3 weeks ago

And they don't provide the same sense of community as a urinal trough.

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 13 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Pissing together builds community and brotherhood.

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nah, let's install urinals in the women's room. Just little leaners you can scooch over to have a quick wee

[–] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Or just put them on the floor, like Japan or China. Under gay space communism there will be one giant Workers' Trough where everybody equally can piss and shidd themselves as one united proletariat!

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

But they're still in seperated chambers. I want a fully public experience where you're forced to stare determinedly at a point on the wall and resent chatty neighbors like the mens room gets

[–] BobDole@hexbear.net 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Bringing back Roman public toilets?

news to me

Competitive Speed Pissing

[–] Euergetes@hexbear.net 10 points 3 weeks ago

no door no lid = faster throughput

you're right though, the even more streamlined form is the piss trough, which can double the concurrent piss capacity

[–] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 9 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

What other toilet allows you to piss all over the floor then other people step in your piss and then everyone else thinks it's OK to piss all over the floor as well

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 11 points 3 weeks ago

Hate to break it to you but people do that with regular toilets too

Sweet summer child, go ask any school janitor.

It should just be one big trough, this is the future tankies want!

Before urinals, everything was a urinal.

[–] Commiechameleon@hexbear.net 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Ban urinals and toilets, piss and shit in the bathtub/shower. monke-return
