[poop thread]
It is a fact that shitters in homes and public facilities in some Eastern Europe countries are designed with a poop platter. Now, I can conceptualize why such a feature might be relevant in a medical setting where collection and study of shit is an important feature. But widespread usage in all places? Apparently yes. WTF? I did google the “WHY?” question, and all I get is speculation and poop jokes. Mechanically, the shelf design apparently doesn’t even operate as well as the send-it-deep design. Is it something to do with “splashing?” As if I’d prefer to risk dragging my nuts against a large turd (or dragging my knuckles against it while wiping) versus being splashed? And note there is also apparently a STEEP-SIDE design. I’m never going anywhere that requires a passport. That means I won’t get the opportunity to do any field work on this subject. So I beseech GD for its wisdom. WHY would anyone want such a toilet in their home? ![]() ![]() ![]() |

False.
You ride those like a motorcycle. This provides ready access to the controls. |

The US is superior… to avoid the plop splash you simply lay 3 squares of toilet paper floating on the top, which eliminates the plop splash into your butthole, and you get no walls to scrape.
|

Last one of those I used was in a B&B in Amsterdam.
I always thought the purpose of it was to prevent splash-back on to the user once the german was released. |
|
Used them in Austria and was shocked at the grossness and weirdness of it.
|
|
That's so you can check to see if you have worms from your eastern european diet.
|
|
Never saw in UK but these were in at least 2 hotels in amsterdam. It stinks bad.
|

To avoid having to scrub down the poop shelf, they just put a small amount of toilet paper on the shelf for the feces to land on. Then it all flushes easily down the drain. I still think they are kind of odd. Having the feces go under water helps keep odors to a minimum.

I used the inspection shelf in germany.
No i did not need to sit to pee and no i did not need to scrub the toilet afterwards. |

5 years of that was enough.
Lay down paper before off loading the kids. |
|
To let shit marinate so you don’t spend all day sitting on the pot. Makes you eat less so you shit less. Why do you think they are skinny and American are fat.
|
|
I always thought they were the original water saver toilets. No bowl to fit less water per flush.
|
|
I just learned something today. While using my american standard terlet.
|

PRO-TIP -- If have to use one of these toilets. You need to lay a square or two of TP down on the LZ.
The paper serves as a 'Turd-boggen' so when you flush. You have a clean, speedy exit. |

The only thing that drove me nuts after moving to US many years ago, was the toilet design. You drop a turd and get your undercarriage splashed with all the bacteria that's in the water. Just think about all the random, nasty people pooping in the public bathroom and then your bottom gets splashed. Btw, "turd shelf" is low enough that your nuts will not get dragged over the turd itself. The workaround for US toilets is to drop some toilet paper first, so you don't get splashed ![]() |

Personally I enjoy the poop splash. It's like the champagne spray of success.
Always impressed how the splash always hits dead center. |
|
Yeah, I encountered those a few times. Just chalked it up to those weird-ass Germans.
|

|

A preflush allows a shallow layer of water to lie on the shelf. Once the job is done a courtesy flush will easily move it down the stink tube with no skid mark left to offend ye.

I ran into those in Amsterdam. Instantly thought WTF? Terrible idea that the people just accept, use and go about their day.

It’s really just a draining/drying shelf for plates and eating utensils. That’s the way they rolled in iraq, as they also kept a container of water by the crapper to rinse plates, utensils if any, and the ass
