Won't work in the US, A.D.A. compliance would shut it down. Can't expect someone disabled with leg weakness to be able to use that design.

IDK about UK disability law though, anyone there have comments on this?

Good news for the company, the ADA probably won't be around much longer

Bad news for literally anybody else

If you come across a toilet like this take a cup full of drywall repair powder and drop it into the bowl and leave it for about an hour. The whole toilet will need to be replaced. A 25lb bag of powder will run you like 20 bucks and can probably fuck up 100 toilets

I was gonna suggest curb-stomping the toilet till it breaks off the wall, but your idea is truly genius.

i was gonna (once again) suggest transglutaminase. its my glue of choice!

I'll start shitting in the urinal again if they try this.

[–] daddycool@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

WTF. Just sit in the sink like a normal person.

Counter-productive, if I had gotten cramps at work (because of whatever, it doesn't matter), I'm just gonna use company time to get rid of these cramps. Hell I'm not even sure these designs are legal here. Surely there is some DIN based ISO norm regarding toilets and their dimensions

[–] morphballganon@mtgzone.com 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Put a thing between the front of the bowl and the seat to prop it up at a higher angle

[–] ook@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 2 days ago

For example a shitload of toilet paper. That way you are also costing the company extra for doing this.

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 15 points 2 days ago

I will shit on the floor, don't test me bitch.

So the evil version of a footstool? Squattypotty tried to sell theirs with an explanatory video by means of unicorns and ice cream a while ago.

[–] 20cello@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I remember that, it was awesome

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Is this real? Source? It's believable and that makes me upset

Edit: https://www.wired.com/story/battle-toilet-workplace/

From like 2019

[–] False@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Yeah, this is old news. I've still never seen one in person, so I don't think it's a real thing.

[–] tarknassus@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

This is why you never should skip leg day…

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 8 points 2 days ago

Never underestimate my desire to skive.

I'll end up with legs like an Olympic cyclist.

[–] pfr@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I actually don't think it'd be that uncomfortable. Not at that subtle angle..

It'd probably be better for blood flow and prevent getting a dead leg.

Go to work -> get leg workout while crapping. What's not to like?
