Why is this post full of people who are seemingly overtly defensive over the idea of urinals? Did I miss something? The comic is a joke. Every other poster here trying to make sure everyone knows they can and will always use a urinal. An ode of fragile masculinity.
Sounds like you missed the toilet OOOOOHHHHH
I'm here trying to understand what's wrong with urinals lmao
They're just bad. The pro is that they take up less space so more people can pee in parallel vs toilets.
The con is that using one without splashing piss all over everything is a skill check.
The BigO of urinal is basically "piss on a wall"
Let's be honest. Standing and peeing anywhere is a skill check that only about half of us pass reliably.
I'd much rather my co workers miss the urinal than miss the bowl. Those animals don't always lift the seat before they piss all over it.
That's a really big pro in a lot of cases. Big enough that it make urinals great imo
This reply makes me feel defensive and outraged.
It has nothing to do with fragile masculinity, and everything to do with the dysfunctional personalities of Lemmy users.
No disagreeing with the title or you have fragile masculinity!
If you don't like urinals, don't use them. If you say something shouldn't exist when many people prefer to use it over the other options, expect pushback, even if it's in a humorous context.
The comic feels like a joke here but the title feels like there's some serious sentiment behind it, even if it doesn't have any real intent to actually ban urinals.
Well I stand facing AWAY from the urinal and pee over my shoulder!
"I personally don't have a problem with urinals, I don't think they should be removed"
"FRAGILE MASCULINITY"
lol
