Comment on The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down.

  True power comes from not using the power.

  I can stand and piss… but for many reasons I prefer to sit.

    For me the algorithm is “if(wearing_glasses == True and is_brightly_lit == True): stand; else: sit”.

      Your variables are already booleans, so you can just write:

      if (wearing_glasses and is_brightly_lit)

        Are they though? Maybe they are inputs that haven’t been sanitised but the language has two kinds of equals and is you use the double equals then it tries to coerce it for you. Lol that with would be silly!

        yes but it makes it clearer to do isWearingGlasses == true

  Tbh, it’s just easier and less messy. I don’t gotta focus on aiming, and I don’t have to worry about getting griped at for forgetting to put the seat down. Standing is really only a better option if you’re in public and in a rush.

    Certain toilets are on the small size for my… equipment. And I periodically find my dongle touching porcelain. This also results in some backspray which is annoying to clean up.

    I’ve found it easier and less messy to piss standing. But I also got a fancy bidet for my wife’s Christmas present years ago. It automates the whole task of opening and closing, does a bit of self-cleaning, and saves us a few bucks on toilet paper month-to-month. So its less of an issue.

      Yet another problem solved by being a grower

      Sometimes I piss too hard or at the wrong angle or something while I’m having a big one while I’m also having a shit and it somehow escapes under the rim and I end up with piss all over the floor. The amount of piss from that Vs micro spray is incomparable.

      The real problem is that those toilets are just too small. It’s the same as those sinks that have the faucet 1 micrometer from the sink edge. I truly don’t get it

  I can get piss on the floor when sitting on the toilet too.
