    Do these designers not have children? Wiping pee off the seat is like an every time thing; seems silly not to just use a bit of toilet paper.

    Even I have to clean up when I miss; which happens max, max, 95% of the time.

      the only thing I’ve ever had to wipe off the seat is condensation. I’ve no doubt children find a way to get pee on it but anyone with two braincells to rub together knows the seat moves out of the way

        I work in an extremely high level professional environment for a multi trillion dollar company.

        I gotta wipe piss off the seat every damn time I go into the bathrooms here.

        It doesn’t matter how smart or dumb people are, piss will end up in, on, and around the places where people piss.

      Their children are furry and meow. But in all seriousness, I would consider it an engineering oversight for not considering how their product is being used in real households.

      Even I have to clean up when I miss; which happens max, max, 95% of the time.

      You miss a max of 95% of the time? 🙃 On a related note, most people are bad with percentages.

      And if paper that immediately dissolves when wet scratches the seat; maybe use better materials.

        Toilet paper is wood, while the seats are plastic. Wood is a 2.5-ish on the mohs scale, and plastics tend to be too. So they scratch at a 2.5 with deeper grooves at a level 3, even on a micro scale. The alternative is to use ceramics for the seat, but the fragility means one rough drop of the seat and it could shatter. Metals are generally no better.

        You don’t clean plastic lens spectacles with paper as paper will scratch the lenses, though glass lenses can be wiped with paper. Wood is harder than plastic.

        Joke’s on you, the geometry of my toilet means that sit-and-pissers splash into the bottom of the seat so I have to clean the rim way more often than I used to!

      (un)expected factorial? 1,30767e12 wipes seems like a lot. I guess you never specified currency, but at an average cost of 3,0581e-11 per wipe, I’ll assume that that’s a pretty decent deal.

        Well, that would be good value! (there’s also an Excel joke just there but now I’ve ruined it). In this case, I was using the symbol to denote emphasis in linguistic terms and not embiggen a number.

          Yeah I figured you meant the linguistic rather than the mathematical sense of the !, but I chose to intentionally misinterpret that for comedic effect.

          Would you mind explaining the excel joke? I’ve spent very little time using that program (I’ll leave it up to you to decide how fortunate I’ve been), so I don’t really get it

            Well I cannot check, I’m in Linux right now. But I’m fairly sure when there’s an invalid value for conversion or other function the cell shows the text “VALUE!” in it.

        Now you run into the problems of minimum order quanitities that make it impractical for an end user to acquire the product. The costs of transporting, warehousing, and eventually disposing the vast majority of 1,30767e12 wipes will far exceed the initial purchase price.

    The Washlet, Toto’s flagship bidet toilet, includes features like an automatic lid, an air dryer and pressure controls for the bidet’s water stream.

    For some reason I read “Hair dryer” and started picturing people putting their head in the toilet to dry their hairs

    If toilet paper can cause scratches on that hard material, it must also be causing damage to the skin. Does it really need to be that tough a material to do its job?

    Every public bathroom I’ve used has pee all over the toilet seat. I don’t understand why guys don’t either use the urinal or sit on the toilet, why piss on the seat?

      Urine is sterile. And by washing the seat with piss, you’re performing an antibacterial favor for the next guy.

      Probably also kids. The urinals tend to be to tall for them to use and they don’t have great aim.

      It isn’t necessarily intentional.

      A lot of dudes have no idea how to actually aim their junk. Other times, you might get an unexpected spray. They might be in a hurry and just not aim beyond facing the toilet. And you’ve got splashes from usually forceful urination. There’s probably people that do it intentionally.

      The real question is why the fuck they don’t clean up after themselves.

      Because men are disgusting horrible creatures who should be shot into the sun without trial. In the men’s room, that is.

      It’s not always pee. One of the public restrooms I’ve had the displeasure of using repeatedly (it’s on campus in a building I frequent) has toilets and urinals with extremely high pressure flush action. Every time you flush the pressure is so violent that they spray water all over the place, including on the seat and all over the floor. They’ve been like that for years and never fixed.

      What’s especially rich is that there’s sign above the urinals which says “your aim is appreciated” which makes me laugh every time. I’m so careful using the urinal not to spill even a single drop on the floor, then I flush the damn thing and it makes a huge mess!

      Or at the very least lift the seat.

      Guessing they also don’t close the lid so they get to spray themselves with whatever’s in the bowl when they flush. And then don’t wash their hands before leaving.

        The amount of public toilets with lids is not 0, but it’s approaching that limit in the percentages… It’s one of the reasons I don’t leave home without my 10-foot pole.
