Urinals should definitely exist because they speed things up a ton. If you're too shy to piss into a urinal just go to the shitter instead. But don't dare try to take the speed and convenience away from the rest of us, goddammit!

Where else is my uncle going to tell me what should have happened at state if he got first string?

There are also flushness urinals which use zero fresh water, just a floating, replenishable barrier fluid. I want one at home.

Most I see these days are the flushless ones of one sort or other. Some of them have a bit of a smell but doesn't bother me since what do you expect, it's an urinal

Is this comment ironic?

I’ll be honest — I think they should exist. The piss shy phase is short and universal… but we all get over it.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No I'm serious about liking urinals

[–] wowwoweowza@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Okay. It had a lot of upvotes so I thought it was ironic as there is a movement in my city to stealth eradicate urinals. Every remodel now replaces urinals with stalls… some leave one stall so there isn’t backlash.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've seen it happen too. Some consider stalls nicer and more accommodating (not just to shy pee'ers) and that's fine. I just dislike how it makes the wait a lot longer.

But could be worse, they could've made them gender neutral. Now that makes the wait long hah.

Oh… I’ll confess: a feminine looking person avoids the three open urinals to my right an uncomfortably be-lines to the stalls and suddenly I can’t pee at all. Yeah… good times.

Do you think that you need to pull your pants all the way down and sit to use a toilet to pee, if not what are you doing in the stall that wastes a ton more time? It's not much slower from my experience just do it the way you would a urinal, with the only difference being that you have a door and real walls.

[–] SirHery@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

The speed comes from space efficiency. Instead of one stall you can have three urinals (idk the conversion rate, but you get the point)

You can fit more urinals in the same place as stalls...

When buffalo wild wings put small TVs infront of every urinal I think pee times must have increased, haha. I agree urinals speed things along through.
