Yeah. Another reason to keep it closed when not used.

[–] mombi@lemm.ee 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Right? Just close the toilet before you flush, that's what the lid is there for.

Otherwise the aerosolised germs are getting on your toothbrush anyway.

Poo particles, if you will.

I still wouldn't like the toothbrush touching the lid

It only smelz, after all

[–] tomdenhagen3@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That is disgusting. I know that’s not how it actually works but having the toilet physically connected to the sink looks afwul from a hygiene perspective

In japan they put the handwashing sink on the back of the toilet. It's smaller, smarter, and doesn't look weird and gross like this.

Then they brush their teeth in a different room so their toothbrush isn't two feet from their shit.

Funny enough that's how most jail/prison toilets are in the US too.

Using the water from handwashing to fill the cistern just makes sense.

[–] rektifier@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Combined toilet-sinks are a thing. It saves water by reusing the water you used to wash your hands to flush the toilet.

Is no one going to talk about how small of a target that is? Cause I feel like my kids would piss everywhere except the bowl.

For some reason, my kids daycare trained my boys to pee standing up. Why?

[–] laird_dave@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

It's a useful skill to have. It's a more useful skill to know when not to apply it.

People pissing all over toilet seats annoy me to no end. Sit down you filthy heathens.

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's part of the challenge--like Poop Plinko. Can you roll 'em down the slide and land them in the small bowl?

[–] JickleMithers@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

I get the design now. You sit with our feet in the sink and let 'em plink.

[–] gibbedygook@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

at least if you aim at the vertical part, the piss should slide right into the bowl...

[–] BlueLineBae@midwest.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Classic crappy design... Guaranteed phone and toothbrush in the toilet?

[–] gibbedygook@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

phone, toothbrush, pretty much anything really

[–] gazter@aussie.zone 1 points 5 months ago

It's for when you want to poop in the sink

I recognize this bathroom! This was just one of many form-over-function design features in the hotel room!

[–] gibbedygook@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

where was it if you don't mind me asking?

I'm sorry I didn't see the notification for this. I saw this exact bathroom at an airport hotel - Heathrow I think?

[–] roofuskit@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, but if you had small boys you would be praising not having to clean piss off the floor.

[–] Robochocobo@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ok but, surely it would be too tempting to anyone witb a penis to pee up the side of that sink and watch it flow down to the toilet <_<... Right?

[–] RoagisMaximus@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

First thought is that this is photoshopped, because the image shows one of the main problems right there with stuff slipping off the sink into the toilet. From a design position, it seems this might be desirable to keep pee from going between the toilet and sink? But then what about the other side? It doesn't make sense. Then we get to the maintenance nightmare... sometimes they have to remove the toilet to get at the drain, and sometimes you want to upgrade or have to replace your toilet. A better idea would be a removable after-market item that provides the slope.

Can't wait to accidentally knock my phone into the toilet! At least it will be a fun ride
