I hate when that happens and you have to lick it all up before the dog beats you to it.

[–] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 13 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Distance and accuracy training.

It's so you can get a nice wet spot on the floor for that maximum bathroom aesthetic.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 14 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I thought it was to start the shower without getting the cold or hot water all over you.

[–] HyonoKo@lemmy.ml 31 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

It‘s for wetting your hand while on the toilet. This enables you to wipe and clean your ass with your wet hand.

[–] SpookyBogMonster@lemmy.ml 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

At that rate, just get in the damn shower

Lol why do you need the shower for that? The toilet already has water and it's right there.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Uhh…hmm

What has happened to the internet today. Why is it like this

You jest but not all toilets are auto-bidet compatible so the manual method was all we had in 2013 Konya.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 3 points 8 hours ago

Doesn’t the screen being transparent rather spoil the effect?

[–] Deestan@lemmy.world 76 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

The hole is there to allow water to pass through the shower wall and accrue on the floor surface around the toilet, enhancing the sock experience of toiletgoers.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 8 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

isn't that what the shaggy pee mat in front of the toilet is for?

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 3 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

How do you suck at aiming so bad if you’re peeing on the floor?

[–] cornshark@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not peeing on the floor, I'm peeing on the shaggy pee mat. Hence the name

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 3 points 4 hours ago

Peeing on shaggy? image

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 0 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

It's not like the direction it's pointed and the direction it goes have any bearing on each other.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 0 points 4 hours ago

I've never had that issue? I was thinking it's a circumcised thing, but you're potentially British.

[–] MrFinnbean@lemmy.world 113 points 18 hours ago (8 children)

The boring answer is that its for reaching the shower controls for adjusting the temperature and pressure without the need to stand under the shower. Mostly for people with disabilites or people who needs aides.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 5 points 11 hours ago

It just occurred to me that it's not a sliding door, so this is plausible.

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 4 points 11 hours ago

shut up prude, we all know it’s a glory hole for elephants

[–] RattlerSix@lemmy.world 16 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I don't doubt this may be the purpose but the execution looks bad. It may be an illusion but it seems a little far away from the water controls, you'd have to go past elbow deep. The toilet is definitely in the way. You can't get to it with a wheelchair or while standing, you have to be sitting on the toilet.

[–] RattlerSix@lemmy.world 19 points 16 hours ago

I found this which confirms it's for adjusting the controls before getting in. I think this one in particular didn't have people with disabilities in mind and is a poor execution all around.

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 22 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (10 children)

Wouldn't this also let water out and on to the floor? Surely a sliding or hinged opening couldn't have been that hard to implement

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It's also in a very terrible spot for that purpose. It would be very awkward to reach the controls from that angle and where the toilet is at.

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Well obviously you are supposed to straddle the toilet and face the wall to get a better reach

Where can I get this door?

[–] Bruncvik@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago (6 children)

My first thought was to flush the toilet whenever you needed warmer water. I used to rent an apartment where I had to turn on cold water in the sink to get hot enough water in the shower.

Looks like they installed it backwards, otherwise you'd be able to piss right into the toilet from the shower... because some people think it's gross to wee in the shower.

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 11 points 12 hours ago

For the truly enlightened it allows you to piss into the shower while standing on the toilet.

Its so you can poop in the shower and toss it in the toilet. Stomping it down clogs the drain
