      Totally expected Ari to have his junk out. He’s starting to show some restraint with his age.

      I was at an arcade in Korea and started prairie dogging. I went to the bathroom only to find they had these squatty potties. I said fuck that and waddled down the street to McDonald’s.

    3. Oh man Ari is still out there all these years with his hacky shit. Have to give it to him for his persistence.

      They had open public toilets. Just a drain wall, amd no door. Wild. Just search it on YT

    5. Ran across those in France 30+ years ago. Except they were in the median of main streets, which was really weird. They were enclosed, of course, but it still threw me.

    6. In Afghanistan, there were signs in the restrooms for the locals to not step/squat on top of the toilet seats. Alot of broken Commodes.

    7. It’s no walk in the park for women either. Up with the abaya and skirt or up abaya, down pants and undies, stuff that gets tucked you have to hold under your armpits so it doesnt drag on the floor, use 1 hand too hold the crotch of the clothes that got pulled down away from your pee and poo, purse strung around your neck cause there is no where else and you need to get the toilet paper that you have to bring with you, all while trying not to fall in the hole .

      All this for a pee.

      Trying to use one of these when you don’t have the hip or low back strength from squatting all the time is such an existential crisis. I used to have a hard time getting down to change a tire and had been working on it for years and still it was a close call.

      The good ones have foot grips, with a little border made of ceramic so you don’t slip, but some are just tile liberally coated in water because you also use a butt gun in most of these places and you always get water everywhere.

      You literally regress and ask yourself questions like, “well is is just smarter to poop in my hand and toss it in there rather than fall in my own poop?” The take away is do more squats its because you have a weak back.

      Now I will say the butt-gun is a genius invention, when someone hasn’t literally shit on it. It’s just a dish sprayer someone attached to the water inlet so you can spray your butthole but it’s about 20x better than just toilet paper. Especially when you’re a tourist walking around the most swamp ass of places, you will appreciate the extra clean.

      what’s ironic is that it’s arguably the healthiest (and most natural) way for bowel movement. I’d rather that than a public toilet in nyc lol

      not sure about China, but Japan has both these squat toilets and robotic ones that open magically to greet you, keep you warm, clean you up, and even plays music while you flush to help you avoid embarrassing moments

      edit: not sure why I’m being downvoted but just google “is squat toilet natural”

    10. This is how humans did it for 99% of its existence.

      Edit: And if you go on a long hike, you might find yourself needing this skill again.

    11. Yall laughed? Genuine question because ppl who are saying its not funny got downvoted to hell. How was this funny?

      This is hilarious, but squatting to poop is the proper way to poop. If you’ve shat in the woods while camping, you’d know you push once, and your bowels are empty, and you barely have to wipe after. Squat shits are awesome. I despise amaerican toilets, especially the tall ones.

      Oh boy, you haven’t seen shit until you end up in a Chinese village toilet.

      It’s literally a half open concrete shack sitting in the blazing sun with a slit for you to poop through as you squat. it all drops into a canal or a river.

      Now the worse part? It rarely get cleaned so it’s literally caked with shit, piss, used up TP and diarrhea… Every color of shit you can imagine? It’s there.

      And the smell in a hot day? I’ll leave it up to your imagination.

      What an experience! I wish it on no one.

      In general nothing wrong with squat toilets, just need to get use to aim for the hole or you’ll need to push your shit back to the hole because the water pressure it’s enough to move anything but pee.

      Are you the kind of person who would never ask this question again in an interview or make it a standard moving forward?

    15. I have the exact same story, except I had to use the damn squat toilet while experiencing the runs, while at work in China!

      This dude is exactly right — you have to hold onto some wall figure just to not fall over. I ended up removing all my pants and underwear, completely, just to make it work, or else the pants/underwear are in the poo path. It was such a disaster.

      It’s in my top 3 for worst toilet experiences of my life.

      Am I the only one who does this certain move? I remove 1 shoe and, while balancing on my shoed foot, I take the pants and underwear off my unshoed leg and kind of roll/bunch the pants and underwear up the remaining leg. Now I slip the shoe back on and the voila, I can squat shit without worrying about my britches in the way and both shoes are on. Learned it in the forest but also worked well in SW Asia. Anyone else?
