Roman public toilets, Ephesus, Asia Minor.

My guess is that you don't want to hear about the spongia.

In Iran our flats each had Western toilets, but the majority of public toilets were squats. I didn't think they were any worse that toilets.

It seems like the squat toilets would be more in line with our evolutionary development.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

I have used many a squat toilet in my travels through Asia and the Middle East.

The range of terrible to good is just like western toilets. There are well maintained ones, and there are gas station toilets.

I'm thinking that squat toilets wouldn't be as accommodating for all...consistencies. Maybe thrones are the way to go.

There is definitely a bigger need for manual cheek separation with the squat toilets. Afterwards, the cleanup is just the same. Although you regularly need to carry your own TP/wipes.

It's true, it is.

Luckily I work in an old and massive building, with random toilets hidden all over the place over multiple levels. there are some secret toilets that nobody uses except a select few who know about them.

I also have a master key for the building working in estates, so I sometimes lock them so only I can get access. Then I can poop in peace, and keep it nice and clean.

That reminds me, is it possible that aliens came to earth for a picnic, maybe one had a nice steamy dump and left and now "Whallah"!
Or maybe I'm just "talking shit"!

I don't reflect on what kind of ass was parked there before mine.

That said, there are some toilets I wouldn't use under any circumstances. It's the visual and olfactory impression that counts.
