Please be gross. If you're having to clean the toilet each time you take a poo poo, something is either wrong with your toilet, the way you poo poo or with you medically.

Just checking: you do know that to correctly use a toilet, your butt has to be touching the seat?

You don't open the bathroom door, turn around, bend down and fire away like a lawn sprinkler

Look, this guy was gross first. You too can tell us the tales of your nasty poop.

I'm is the water level too low? Are you slapping flats every day because that's the only thing I can think of that would require a scrub every time.

is op in germany? that might explain some things. germans have those weird shelf toilets were the poo poo just sits there out of water for some reason, i can imagine that kind of toilet would probably need to be cleaned more frequently?

If you're leaving German toilet smears you can remedy it by putting a couple of sheets in before you poo poo. I learnt about this from a guide on chemical toilets. But dude fix your poo poo.

I always try to have Facebook feed settings to Most Recent, rather than Top Stories, but for the past week or so I've noticed that when I flip it back to Most Recent, it will only show me limited posts (maybe it's hiding stuff it thinks I've already seen). Is this deliberate fuckery on their part? Something I can change? An unfortunate glitch?

Why did Power Rangers make the jump from Japan to America but similar series such as Ultraman and Kamen Rider did not? I'm curious about this since I'm currently in China and see that Ultraman is really popular with the kids here, so I'm wondering on why some cultural entertainment is exported but others are not.

Well with Power Rangers someone decided to license the footage from Super Sentai and mix it with scenes of a group of Americans doing the rest of the story, and thus the first season of Power Rangers was born. Nobody ever had that same idea for Kamen Rider, assumedly they (correctly) thought it didn't have the same merchandise potential that Power Rangers did, or that Ultraman was too similar to Power Rangers and wouldn't play if they tried to do both at once.

Power Rangers didn't come here organically because nobody really had that much cultural connection with a country on the other side of the world because they didn't have internet and they spoke a language that doesn't even use the same alphabet, it had to be brought here by someone who had a clever idea about what they could do with the footage from this property.

They absolutely had the same idea, Saban tried the Power Rangers trick with Kamen Rider and renamed it Masked Rider. It did extremely poorly because the market for repackaged toku shows had been pushed beyond sustainability.

Hanna Barbera coproduced an Ultraman pilot in the late 80's that never expanded to a full series, but they released it as a standalone film in the US in 1987. It didn't take off.

Facebook is constantly changing and updating stuff and rolling changes out for different people at different times. They don't want you to know how anything works or have any control over it. Something might be broken, or maybe you're just trying to use it in a way that they don't want you to. Either way there's probably nothing you can do about it and no way anyone else can verify if they have the same issue because functionally they're not even looking at the same site.

Just for poop related clearance here, these poop presentation toilets are not anymore very common in Germany. They used to be built in until the 80s or 90s at best, since then we moved to an American style toilet, but without drowning it in water like you guys do. The poop leaves its house and falls straight into the small, non-presentable opening that is filled with water (the bowl itself is dry) and then you flush and it fits right through.

I do admit though that my flat still has a presentational bowl built in as the toilet is from 1978 but it is not harder to clean. The small throne it sits on always has a bit of water on it so the poop can be washed away with ease and any leftovers get brushed. Regular cleaner is fine to keep it very clean and you have full view on the quality and nature of your logs, which from a medical and pride based perspective is very useful.

I've never heard the term before but going by context it sounds like slapping flats is when your turd either partially or fully lands on the upper part of the inner toilet bowl that the water doesn't reach.

Hey OP is it possible your toilet is getting stained from hard water and not poo poo?

You still have a "Most Recent" option on Facebook? I was in a constant battle, switching from Top Stories, which Facebook would make my default, to Top Stories, which is definitely my preference. But then my ability to use Most Recent disappeared several months ago and I'm stuck seeing what Facebook deems to be most important to me. It's frustrating as hell.

At least I have an extension on my browser that blocks the dreaded "sponsored posts," which is essentially advertising.

Social Fixer is still auto-switching it to Most Recent for me. Facebook still does some kind of filtering even on Most Recent though, so it's not as useful as it used to be.

lol this is such a strange way to put it. it doesnt like need to "breathe" or anything

i'd certainly believe if your toilets were more efficient in terms of water usage, but that's just because Americans love wasting resources not because we're trying to "drown" our poo

Goons Are Gifts

Quality poop results from being exposed to air for just the right amount of time.

So I know that you do that for a reason and because you have the second highest water usage per person of the world anyways, but when I learned about Americans flooding their toilet bowls with water it was a revelation to me. I never before understood the problem of trying to sit down on a fully opened toilet at night and getting an rear end shower, because our toilets don't do that and now I finally get all these American toilet jokes.

Actually, do other countries also do that? I know it's rather rare in Europe, but no idea about the UK. What about Canada? Australia? Are overflowing toilets an Anglo-Saxon thing or is it us Europeans being the dry weirdos?

Can't speak for other countries but Canadian households are essentially the same as American ones in every aspect except we all have kettles and don't wear our shoes inside.

My experience has been that most households in the US don't wear their shoes inside. The exceptions that come to mind were families that immigrated to the US.

But, I've heard this description of the US before, so maybe my Midwestern experience isn't very representative. :shrug:
