        I was trying to find the damn article but I can’t dammit. It’s about how if you put a sticker that looks like a fly in the right spot in a urinal then people will try to pee the fly away. Which keeps piss off the floor.

        It’s a legitimate scholarly economics article which is the funniest part. I know the author and he thought he would never be publishing about how to get people to piss straight.

          I think I’ve read it before! And I think I’ve seen it implemented in public urinals.

            Do you have a copy? If it’s the same paper I’m thinking of he literally left economics because his department started calling him the piss economist after this.

    Only mildly related but during COVID I loved the comparison of wearing masks and peeing in proximity to people.

    If you’re 1 foot apart, and neither of us is wearing pants, I’ll pee all over you. If neither is wearing pants but we’re 6 feet apart, and the very worst you might get minor splashed on your shoes. If we’re within a foot, and only you are wearing pants, I’ll piss all over your pants. If only I’m wearing pants, I’ll piss myself. If we’re both wearing pants, then it doesn’t matter who pisses their pants it’ll all be contained.

    Same thing while wearing shorts tbh. It’s basically a mist rising and covering everything in range of the bowl. A pisst if you will (forgiven if you don’t. I wouldn’t)
