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

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

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.

I remember that, it was awesome

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

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

This is why you never should skip leg day…

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

From like 2019

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

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 8 points 1 month ago

Never underestimate my desire to skive.

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

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

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

[–] Laser@feddit.org 3 points 1 month ago

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

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