Story time: I once briefly lived in a place that had an old toilet bowl like this. You can still find them in older houses. One day I took a massive shit and then found out that the flush wasn’t strong enough to get it down from there. And there wasn’t a brush. Yikes. Just wanted to share that with you guys.
Did you use the poop knife?
Origami toilet brush made from toilet paper. Yikes
So what did you do next? I’m thoroughly invested in the story
Got a bucket of water to flush it. After that I always had the bucket ready before starting the business. Luckily I didn’t stay there very long.
You wrap Your hand in toilet paper and give it a little push. That’s what toilet paper is for.
So your shit just piles up on the upper part till it kisses your asshole?
It’s a solid way to prevent neptunes kiss.
The downside is getting your balls slapped with a turd.
No kink shame ;)
The real problem is your turds are exposed to open air the whole time, so the smell fucking awful the whole time.
It gives you the opportunity to examine it. I think that is the reason for the design.
And to savour the undiluted aroma.
“hey Sharon, SHARON GET IN HERE YOU GOTTA SEE THIS! SHARON!”
Um… if you’re holding on to that much shit, you may want you see a doctor.
You’ve clearly never seen an American eat. 3 triple burgers, a large fry, and a milkshake is the standard dinner while dieting.
People who downvoted you are weak stomached non Americans
I’m sure those who down voted shame their ancestors by leaving food on their plate.
Even after being told there are starving children in China…smh my head.

It kisses goodbye your asshole. Don’t forget from whence thy sheit falls.
Goddamn I love me some Butters
I had these in a few houses in Germany. I call them trophy shelf toilets.
Did you have the light switch outside the bathroom too? That way your friends can make you poop in the dark
Oh, is that not a thing some places? I think the majority are outside here in the UK, generally electricals are not allowed inside the bathroom (although I’m not sure this actually covers light switches as I’m sure some of them are in there…)
In the US, it’s extremely rare to have a light switch outside if yhe room with the light. Usually there’s a lights witch and a couple sockets in the bathroom by the mirror.
Lol I’m in the states, but one of my friends houses had this “feature” growing up. I definitely turned the light off on him a few times. To top it off, this bathroom had no windows so it got fucking dark in there. It wouldn’t even work today, everyone has phones w them now n would just use that after you turned it off. Kids these days…
I’ve never had to deal with this, but I always plug in those blue glow night lights in the bathroom so they don’t crash into things when I go to take a piss in the middle of night.
Of course.
The Germans call them “Flachspüler”.
Germans call a lot of things weird names
They had these in Germany, too. If you took a particularly massive shit sometimes the water pressure wasn’t enough to shove it into the hole.
I already commented about a poop knife so I won’t repeat it here.
Problem has more to do with the streaks. There are many.
…then you use the brush to clean them? Is that a big deal?
Just saying you have a process for dealing with the problem is not as good as solving the problem.
Is there some other problem being solved by the shelf? Like do they have really terrible water pressure and need to rely on gravity and a slope?
In my experience, the shelf helps avoid having water splash your nethers, which happens to me more often than leaving streaks, so I prefer it over having my urine splash back up at me.
Just scrape off with knife. You have to be told everything?
The big deal is the frequency.
Fortunately there was always plunger handy for pushing, so no chopping was needed.
8 into a backflip midair wipe for me.
#11 is called an upper decker.
The poop shelf makes it easier to use the poop knife.
how do I unread this?
American toilets gave me culture shock
They’re so shallow that you can’t even sit down without your balls touching the bowl or the water
I think you might want to get your balls looked at.
Which will be easy to do, considering they’re dangling out of his pant legs
Are you proposing something?
How you doin’?
We all do.
I hated them, they made me anxious. But much worse were the low stall walls. Why america, why? When I take a shit I want a wall that actually serves the purpose of not having people see me taking a shit.
On another note, the Dutch style toilets were very common in Germany up until the 90s. Rare nowadays. I think they are actually superior. You see it, if you have a problem with your shit and even the largest shit doesn’t splash water all over your intimate parts. On the other hand, you have to protect your balls from the large shit, when it goes “timber”.
I think you mean high stall walls and not low. You’re talking about the huge gap so the janitors can sweep and mop easier.
No, I meant that I literally could see people taking a shit when walking in the restrooms at several places, because the walls were just ~180cm high (and I am taller than 180cm).
I’ve never seen stall walls that short but usually when I’m sitting, I would not be able to see over it. Generally the giant gaps between panels are enough to let someone see you from the door.
You should see the Dutch Oven….
For an extra 5€ I’ll show you a Dutch Trombone
Those are actually French toilets. They were designed like this so you can check for blood and other abnormalities. British toilets were designed so the poop would fall in the water, reducing the stench. The British design proved more popular, yet the French design is better with less splashing and for checking. It’s important to check, to find out if there’s something wrong with your intestines like cancer (black blood) or a tapeworm. The British didn’t find this important, just like washing hands after pooping.

Hungarian here, many in this country prefer the “betegvécé” (French), yet cannot say anything about what they should check for. It’s just virtue signaling, no matter how much people have been abusing that term.
Are you unable to see blood if it falls in the water?
Pedophiles in the olympics, our strange toilets with the “poop shelf”; I just can’t win today.
Edit: it’s so you can inspect it. How is everyone else inspecting their poo?
Comments on toilets of France, England, and Germany by Slavoj Zizek: https://youtube.com/watch?v=8mtZmBvat4k
Another good bit (not in the video) is that Zizek thinks that’s why Germans can endure great pain and sacrifices for an ideal…if you are strong enough to observe your shit for health reasons, there’s nothing you can’t do!
French toilets are BIS. Large, deep bowls with great pressure and a second commode for the greatest modern invention, the bidet. The French don’t fuck around with their shit.
Using “bis” for toilets is funny, like you’re grinding a raid at the hardware store hoping for an epic toilet drop.

It’s so you can examine your stool, you might have some blood or a consistency you don’t like, that way you see it
Wake up, coffee, breakfast, shit, see how much of last nights meal was really digested, shower, shave, work
Typical morning, idk what the big fuss is
It also helps you gauge the poop’s internal temperature using the back of your scrote, if you are endowed with fairly loose balls.
Long balls!
I’ve never not been able to detect something like that with a water-under toilet
How do you inspect your stool for blood, then?
By hand as god intended
Eyes
Taste
I know the meme is that people use it to look at their poop, but honestly the main advantage is the 0% chance of water splashing up. I will take this design over the “standard” ones any day.
Have found that putting a little bit of TP in the water before commencing the act helps a lot to avoid Poseidon’s kiss.
I once stopped in urgent need of a toilet at the dirtiest little gas station in the middle of nowhere, where the one guy on duty directed me out back to a foul, stunningly filthy toilet. After doing my business I arose and, turning to face the toilet, flushed. It was an old flush mechanism where the water just kind of fell in from all sides, causing a kind of trapped tsunami to eject a single drop of fresh poop water 7 feet up in the air and down straight into my mouth.
If my many decades of life have taught me anything, it’s to close my mouth when flushing or scrubbing the toilet.
thanks I hate it
Yeah thats the strat, but it wastes a bunch of toilet paper…
But what about just poop on some toilet paper, make no splash, and the smell is still not so hard, as with the dutch/German toilet
