So are toilets engineered for maximum splashback, or is this the best we can hope for?

@scribus Be grateful. The toilets here in Spain flush is a special way so that it doesn't actually get rid of your waste. It just stirs it.

@lcplazureblaze That's because of the southern hemisphere. #truefacts

@scribus How can the southern hemisphere affect toilets in the northern one

@scribus If the earth is flat how can hemispheres exist?
Tuesday, 15-Aug-17 21:25:13 UTC from web-
@nerthos Well, it's a flat texture, but it's been mapped onto a sphere, so there's kind of a pseudo 3D thing going on.

@scribus That explains why aborigins near the poles have really wide faces actually.

@scribus last I checked we were still in the northern hemisphere. If what they say is true about the swirl changing direction from North to South then that would explain why in the east the water goes down and in the west the water shoots out. The first time I did my business over here I flushed six times and it still wouldn't go down. I used the toilet scrubber to try and push it down the drain but that just made a mess so ultimately I just gave up and left it there.

@lcplazureblaze Japan with their toilets that clean you with jets of water being a wonderful canidate for this theory.

@lcplazureblaze @scribus There are spinny toilets and pushy toilets. Pushy toilets work great if they're properly done, and don't shoot water outside the bowl, but will never flush if they're poorly done (usually a hole too small, placed too low to flush)

@nerthos normally the pushy toilets push water through the hole though right? These ones literally shoot it up at you. I could use it as a water fountain if I wanted to. That's why I give these barracks 2/5 star rating.

@lcplazureblaze Only thing I can think of is someone screwing up when assembling the toilet. The only bathroom appliance that should shoot water at you is a bidet, which kinda looks like a toilet, but that's for washing your butt and feet, not for relieving yourself. https://ugc.kn3.net/i/origin/https://martinher85.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/bidet.jpg

@lcplazureblaze Apparently there's a bidet add-on for toilets. Didn't know of that. https://img.grouponcdn.com/deal/eGWw6orQKD1iHaZfWttz/Ne-960x576/v1/c700x420.jpg

@scribus They're Eastern Mexicans.
