I wouldn't. Not as long as there's free trees outside.
... climate change is a hoax by Big Bathroom to sell more bathrooms. MindBlown.gif
PSA: Don't pee on trees, pee on rocks if available. Some animals will lick your dry pee off trees because they're gross and this will hurt the tree's bark.
Huh. Noted.
(My biology doesn't easily allow me to pee ON trees anyway, if anything, it's under.)
You’re just not trying hard enough. There’s videos out there.
Oh I know. That's why I included that "easily" :)

Ah yes, the free and open source alternatives. I am not giving my money to big bathroom
free and open source alternatives
Oh shi-
That's very good <3
I make an upload to the toilet a couple times a day.
Of course not, you download to a bathroom.
Like how racism was invented by big Water Fountain?
In coordination with big bathroom!
I’m noticing a pattern here.

Nah, genders were invented by men to avoid giving birth!
I must be doing it wrong. I gave birth to some kidney stones years ago.
Do not reccomend.
Or by women so they have something to never shut up about. It's been 55 years, mom!

This is why i don't understand why bathroom companies aren't creating more genders in order to create more bathrooms.
They could boost their sales to numbers not seen since the days of racial segregation
But they have to be careful because otherwise people might realize it's cheaper and easier to just label bathrooms with "sitting" and "sitting+standing".
Before the 1960s people just shat in the woods.
Does the pope shit in the woods?
Closest one to Vatican is like 10 min drive or 40-ish min walk. It's most likely forbidden to shit there plus it's also unlikely that he makes the trip every time he needs to go. They might have a secret forest hidden underneath the Vatican, however. We may never know.
Dan Brown knows the secret but he doesn't want to say it. Dan Brown, it was in front of us the whole time.
Lmao. That was good, ty
Sometimes
What am I, a theologian?

Public restrooms were campaigned for by suffragettes because women were unable to leave their homes for any period without them. Men would just wee against a fence.
That's the Victorian era for you. But for many earlier centuries women went out all the time to take care of various errands, so they must have had some form of acceptable public peeing, even if it's not written down for us to study. Maybe they just gathered up their skirts and squatted behind a designated bush. Definitely sounds like the kind of thing Queen Victoria would have suppressed.
Bathrooms are a scam invented by Big Shit to sell more pooping
I mean..you are more right than you think.
Bathroom fixture manufacturers created a massive marketing/propaganda campaign around the idea of Hygiene, and the idea that its better for your health and safety, simply because they wanted to sell more fixtures..and the way to do that was to get more houses built with indoor plumbing facilities, because in the era before this.. a solid chunk of the population still used outhouses, and bathed in portable tubs they filled with water heated up one pot at a time on a stove once every few weeks.. if that. and because filling the tub was so much work, the whole family washed in it, without changing the water.. usually the husband first, then the mother, then the kids in order of age got to bath in the bouillabaisse of mom and dads filth.
You'd be gobsmacked how many things like that are the result of marketing.
Milk being essential for bone health? Another marketing gimmick, from the dairy industry.
Diamonds are essential for proposals/weddings? Another marketing gimmick, from the diamond cartels.
and more.
I knew about diamonds and I believe about milk.
But you can pry indoor plumbing and hot water heaters from my cold dead hands. Sometimes the marketing works because it's a good idea lol
Wasnt arguing that you should get rid of them :p
Just pointing out the fact that you only care about them, ultimately, because of a very successful advertising campaign to sell more fixtures.

Deodorant was first marketed to immigrants and that's how it took hold. People mildly-to-seriously stank for all of human history and it just was, perfumes have always been a market too. But then someone was like "but what if we made these folks feel even more ostracized to sell them a solution"
And this began the "your body is fucking disgusting" cycle that now encourages us to literally coat ourselves head-to-toe in (eczema to cancer causing) chemical deodorants. Great.
Deodorant and I have never really spent much time together - perhaps because I live in a mild climate and don't do much sports - but god damn do I love a hot shower.

I had to look this up. It seems gendered bathrooms are very old.
I cannot vouch for this site, but it introduces interesting history. https://historyqa.com/gendered-bathrooms-history/
(The version of history needs to be confirmed and scholarly sources I found have broken URLs.)
In the US at least, the women's restrooms used to say "colored"
The reason we still have gendered bathrooms is because we didn't change building codes for bathrooms and water fountains after segregation.
Huh, that makes sense.
You'll also see double water fountains and double sinks in Jim Crow era installations.
Big Bathroom replaced my toilet with joke toilet that has a smaller hole that's just for farts and now I can't even take a shit in my own house!
YOU'RE NOT PART OF THE TURBO TEAM! YOU WALK!
SLOWLY!

They needed to induce bathroom demand after the end of segregation
integrating this into my belief system
I'm all for all-gender bathrooms, but there MUST be at least two public bathrooms at any given spot. I can't tell you how uncomfortable it is to take a first date to a museum, both need to use the bathroom, and walk into the single, silent, all-gender bathroom, and try to pretend you can't hear each other doing your business. I assume gay folks have been struggling with this since the beginning, but y'all should have said something
I think we should get over hangups like this. Oh well you heard each other piss. Big pissing deal. If one or both of you were shitting that's just bad date planning. Shit and get off before you go on a date.
I agree that societally we should get over it, but it doesn't change the fact that it's an awkward activity on a first date

Selling is a scam invented by Big Sales so they can sell more sales
Yesterday I was at a rave with all-gender restrooms. Just as big bathroom predicted it was total mayhem. People queueing, making smalltalk, doing the things people do at the bathroom. I'm so thankful big bathroom protects us from this madness /s
When I was in college, it was funny how the engineering building only had one restroom per floor - they were all mens until like the 70’s, cuz wommin can’t be engineers of course.
They're slowly getting more and more evil, don't be fooled sheeple!
