[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?

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.

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.

So, does the flush remove the  from the shelf, Or do you have to help it?

It looks llike it may need a push or something

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.

Yes.

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 .

No but a big turd standing on end can certainly swipe your nuts when it falls over

Personally I enjoy the poop splash. It's like the champagne spray of success.

Always impressed how the splash always hits dead center.

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.

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

lol in 2002 in Kyrgyzstan we had some portapottys on the flightline. We couldn't figure out why there were footprints all over the damn thing. Then we finally realized the whole "eastern toilet" thing and figured out the guys were stepping onto the shelf where the lid was and squatting over the hole instead of sitting.

In Iraq in '03-04 we finally had to just bring in extra bathrooms for the locals when they were working around our camp area as they completely destroyed our shower/latrine trailers after about a week from standing on and breaking the seats and flooding the bathrooms from the sprayers that were in the stalls.
