Everyone in India pretty much squats into a hole in the ground. But isn't that how nature intended? The hose is to wash your bum bum after.



People in China poo poo into holes too, but they're a little more social about it. It's a normal thing to do so why are we so private about it?



Whilst the Japanese also poo poo into holes usually, I thought this techno-toilet deserved a special mention.



This is a Cambodian toilet, you basically poo poo into the river and thus the circle of life continues.



German toilets have a 'poop shelf' whereby you can inspect the goods before flushing them goodbye.



American toilets are especially wide due to obesity. The water level is also ridiculously high and thus you tend to get a wet arse when you sit on one.



And finally we have a nice proper British toilet. Notice the normal water level, just right.

American toilets aren't usually wide, and england is only not fat because the food there has no flavor and everyone just sits around drinking tea and eating stale cookies all day talking in stupid accents

well since the flush toilet was pretty much invented by a Brit i.e. Thomas Crapper I think I've got a right to be proud of our toilets.

George Washington kicked your asses, and we dumped all your lovely tea in the ocean and not even the fish that suck bacteria off of bigger fish would touch it because tea is loving stupid and they would rather eat the stink off of a fish than lovely england tea

Voted Indian toilets because it's much easier to teach your pet to poo poo in a hole in the ground than it is to train them to balance precariously on the edge of a sit down toilet

When I was wandering around Japantown, I went to the bathroom and they had technotoilets and I was so happy because finally civilization had come to the americas.

One thing living in Japan does is cement the fact that ignoring the opinions of others is a perfectly valid life strategy.

it's 1:11 am and my toilet is presently gently spraying water on my filthy rear end in a top hat

Bidet question: how do you dry your butt after getting sprayed or do you just walk around with a wet rear end for the rest of the day?

So with bidets you have to use toilet paper anyway?? What a rip off. This is almost as bad as when I learned that most people who get Lasik surgery end up having to wear glasses after all.

The poop lands onto a bone dry shelf and then you need to flush it a bunch of times for it to slide off. I think its a good idea if you need check your poop regularly for dietary reasons.

drying your rear end and wiping your rear end are totally different things buddy.

Do any German fixture makers manufacture those gross ones anymore? All of the ones I've seen are older while the newer ones are the normal hole-in-the-middle design that you see everywhere else.

Also the siphonic toilets in the US are garbage. The wash-down toilets in the rest of the world are basically impossible to clog unless you literally poo poo an actual brick into it.

Contrary to widespread misconceptions, Crapper did not invent the flush toilet. He did, however, do much to increase the popularity of the toilet, and developed some important related inventions, such as the ballcock.

That style of toilet is all over France and The Netherlands and Belgium too.

No mention of the Ozzie toilet? They invented the half-flush because they very little water there. It makes a lot of sense.
