Being a dude is wild when you realize like snowflakes, no two men's restrooms (esp. urinals) are alike. There might be one urinal, there could be 12. It could be a trough with zero privacy or private with walls. You have no idea when you enter any public men's restroom.

I'm over 50 and the other day this one surprised me as a urinal design I've never seen before or since. Why would someone want extra gallons of water there?! Are you supposed to shit in it too? WTF is going on?

I know women's and men's restrooms aren't exactly equitable, but at least in a women's room I can predict there's gonna be a bunch of stalls with some form of privacy doors, but men's rooms are the wild fucking west where everyone tries to reinvent it and you never know what to expect anywhere you go.

For more than a century, unsuspecting men have been blindsided by its design.

@mathowie Urinals are often good fun in gay bars. Particularly love the places that sourced some ancient 1910 porcelain party trough.

@nelson why are those satisfying to use when they’re also loaded with ice?
