    more sanitary

    Foot pedal flush really needs to become a thing.

      Wait, why isn’t it? There’s been so many weird flush designs over the years.

          Huh, so they do exist then.

        Probably just the extra cost of linkage and maybe risk of tripping over it

          The pullcord kind used to be pretty common, I think. This is just that with a pedal.

        I assume lack of demand. In your own home, you’d be keeping the handle clean, and public washrooms often use the touchless sensor types.

          Now. I’m guessing you only have to go back to 2000 for that to be a futuristic new thing, though, while the history of the modern flush toilet goes back to the Victorian era.

        Designing foot-operated things tends to fly in the face of modern accessibility standards. Wheelchair users already have enough problems using public toilets.

          Oh shit, I guess that’s true, yeah. Wheelchair bathrooms are there own thing but not every place has them, at least where I live.

          They can still have both. A foot pedal for those who want it, a standard handle for those who don’t or can’t. In fact, retrofitting existing handle-flush toilets to add foot pedals could make a lot of sense.
