4U2PN2 - "for you to pee into"

The serial number is on a urinal.

[–] DrBob@lemmy.ca 36 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Thank you. They should make that a fake serial number on all of them and put the real one on the back.

[–] JoeyHarrington@lemmy.ca 37 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Narrator: that's what they did

[–] DrBob@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Glad to know I am as dumb as advertised.

[–] JoeyHarrington@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 hours ago

Nah, I'm just sceptical of everything and assume things are intentional

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

thought you called yourself a man-idiot

"Eli, Man-Idiot, at your service"

[–] ConstantPain@lemmy.world 27 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Yes, someone did lose some minutes to fake this photo for likes. Good joke tho.

says the literal grammar police

[–] ConstantPain@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

It's obviously photoshopped. What are you talking about?

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world -3 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

So what? If you don't find it funny, downvote and move on. Quit whingeing!

So you're not just the grammar police, you're the comment section police as well...

Did you wake up this morning and thought to yourself "I'm going to pick the most inane hill to fight for today"?

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

I was gonna ask why are you being a Constant Pain, but then it hit me.

Good one, but it's harder to catch than the first guy's pun with the piss off.

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I'm so sad to see people missing the pun and down voting...

You got an audible grunt from me with that one sir, good job!

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Glad at least one person could get it :)

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

Compression so garbage can't tell if it's from ps or a label maker sticker.

[–] Someplaceunknown@lemm.ee 24 points 19 hours ago

It’s beautiful

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 18 points 17 hours ago (4 children)

I was today years old when I realised Americans have to manually flush their urinals. It’s basically half the advantage gone.

[–] StrawberryPigtails@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Depends where you are and how old the place is. Newer places (last 15ish years or so) will have the auto flush toilets but most businesses only upgrade the bathrooms when things brake.

[–] tomenzgg@midwest.social 2 points 8 hours ago

Not if the office building is constructed with mobile capabilities.

[–] Lesrid@lemm.ee 1 points 6 hours ago

I'm pretty sure most places outside the US just use the huge metal trough that the US seems to reserve for stadiums

[–] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 11 points 13 hours ago (6 children)

I'm curious where you're from that every single urinal in the whole country has been upgraded.

[–] Dontfearthereaper123@lemm.ee 6 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

I'm from Ireland but pretty much any country I've been has all been automatic urinals

[–] vaionko@sopuli.xyz 3 points 12 hours ago

I haven't seen a manual flush urinal in Finland in years either

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I live in Belgium and the last time I remember having to flush one of these was at least 10 years ago without exaggeration

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

and zero flush toilets exist in the wonderful benelux

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I assume that in Benelux, they're all just using squat toilets that have to be rinsed out with a bucket of water?

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 1 points 51 minutes ago

nah, we have those wonderful german poop shelf toilets so we can analyze our excrement

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 5 points 8 hours ago

I have never seen a manual urinal in Britain. Never.

[–] Acamon@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

It's not even upgrade, even twenty years ago, most of them were either always rinsing or on some sort of intermittent timer. I guess when they were just a big communal trench it didn't make sense for them to be flushed by an individual. (UK / various Europe)

[–] biggerbogboy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 hours ago

I'm from Australia and it's been like 8 years since I've manually flushed

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

In the UK all the urinals in the bathroom will be flushed automatically at the same time using an auto-syphon that is attached to a tank that's slowly and continuously filled with water.

So it requires no moving parts or electricity, and flushes automatically at a regular interval depending on how fast the water supply is.

And it's been that way basically forever.

[–] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 1 points 5 minutes ago

That's awesome! Do you by chance know what they are called? I did a quick search but all I see are electronic ones.

[–] zjti8eit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 16 hours ago

Probably less than half of them

[–] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

Once I did my business at a public urinal in Texas and was walking away and then as I was washing my hands this old white guy that went to use the urinal after me gave me a dirty look. And only then did I realize that it was not a self flushing urinal, like it's been so long since I've seen one that it needs to be manually flushed that I didn't even consider that.
