4U2PN2 - "for you to pee into"

The serial number is on a urinal.

[–] DrBob@lemmy.ca 41 points 1 day 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 42 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Narrator: that's what they did

[–] DrBob@lemmy.ca 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Glad to know I am as dumb as advertised.

[–] JoeyHarrington@lemmy.ca 4 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

thought you called yourself a man-idiot

"Eli, Man-Idiot, at your service"

[–] ConstantPain@lemmy.world 43 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 9 points 16 hours ago

says the literal grammar police

[–] ConstantPain@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world -3 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] ConstantPain@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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 5 points 9 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.

[–] atlas@sh.itjust.works 5 points 13 hours ago
[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 0 points 9 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 0 points 8 hours ago

Glad at least one person could get it :)

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] Someplaceunknown@lemm.ee 24 points 1 day ago

It’s beautiful

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 16 points 22 hours ago (5 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 13 points 18 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 13 hours ago

Not if the office building is constructed with mobile capabilities.

[–] Lesrid@lemm.ee 0 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Remavas@programming.dev 2 points 4 hours ago

Where did you get this information from?

[–] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 11 points 18 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 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 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 17 hours ago

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

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 5 points 16 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 12 hours ago (1 children)

and zero flush toilets exist in the wonderful benelux

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 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 5 hours ago

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

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 5 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] Acamon@lemmy.world 4 points 15 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 16 hours ago

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

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago (2 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.

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 1 points 3 hours ago

Sounds like a waste of water. Why not simply use motion sensors or flushless urinals like they do in the US?

[–] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours 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 10 points 21 hours ago

Probably less than half of them

[–] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 7 points 15 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.

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

We do? Urinals with manual flush are rare. These days there's either a motion sensor, or a flushless urinal installed.
