    What you’re seeing here is numbered doors of toilet stalls.

    This picture is from the inside of a restroom area, so any gender icons would be the outside of any door in here anyway.

      ytf do they number their stalls? is it like: “help, my zipper’s stuck! I’m in stall oo. Whatever you do, don’t go into stall o!”

      “where did you say you were?”

      (sighs) “stall oo, toilet |||, co-sharing toilet roll ~~~. Hurry!”

        “Hey Randy, grab the bucket, someone’s had explosive diarrhea all over stall three again.”

        Putting in a support ticket. “Flushing problem in stall two of the toilets on the second floor.”

        So Randy doesn’t need to go through all the flushes to find the broken one.

        Some people take a long time - why would a restaurant leave that market untapped? Everyone gets snacky sometimes

        I read “stall oo” in my head pronounced like in “food” which is hilariously useless information for those needs

      This is confusing as I’ve never seen a toilet stall that is just a regular room, rather than a cubicle divider thing

        The airport near Stockholm. Private little rooms. Everyone has a loo and a sink and room to change. It’s so humane.

          I use the handicapped stall at work for that privacy. Need to do a little song and dance to get my clothes and tool belt arranged, and I get my own sink.

          For any haters, as the handicapped say, it’s accessible, not reserved. (And not many handicapped folks in a hardware store.)

          I mean if the sink was in the same room as the toilet, I would understand, separate rooms is very strange though

        Most hotels, restaurants, and cafés in Europe have singular private stalls like this.

        Gas stations, clubs, airports and schools might have a big restroom with dividers, but if they are fancy enough they might still have private rooms.

        Public toilets and campsites rarely have private rooms.

        That’s how most public toilets are. Who the fuck wants to be in cubicle to do their private business?

      The two look like boobs, and the three look like a penis

      Due to the fact I’m essentially a 40 year old adolescent i have Olympic gold in seeing penises and (to a lesser extent) tits in everything, but you lost me here…

      If this is is the answer it’ll take the cake as most abstract rendition ever.

        Boobs are two circles. Penis head with two balls underneath is the three circles. It’s not a good representation, whoever decided that

        possibly, but that would be way too complicated for signage like this, it seems like this is actually just stall numbering inside of a gendered bathroom as per another post in the thread though.

            Well the fact that you thought it necessary to qualify whether the urethra counted as ‘major’ kind of highlights how non-obvious that terminology is in this case.

    It’s a test to determine your gender, you just walk into whichever one you’re naturally compelled to and then when you get out you find out your gender. If you don’t want to go into either then you’re either nonbinary or agender

      There’s no place for a number 1. If you’re not going to shit, then you’re not allowed to pee either.

      You don’t do a #3, a #3 is when your kid does a massive high pressure shit, it squirts up out the back of the nappy and into their clothes. Just hope it doesn’t happen indoors, or in the car or really anywhere.

        Had that happen in a restaurant. I was at the opposite end of the packed restaurant from the restrooms. I got a lot knowing nods from a lot of folks as I walked through holding the very smelly child at arms length due to the amount of soilage at play

          no worries. i was going off the original: janitors in the los angeles unified school district in like the 1960s, radio reporting bathroom incidents without making kids giggle. #4 was blood.

      Is it possible to #2 and not #1? I don’t think my plumbing works that way.

      Actually now that I think about it, back in highschool one of my friends took a shit in someone’s vegetable crisper and I don’t recall him pissing all over the place when he did. So it must be possible.

        It’s technically possible for everyone, barring some specific quirk or injury, but men generally find it easier to only shit. I looked it up a while ago and the research was American, so I do wonder if it’s because American men tend to pee standing up and they therefore have a bigger mental barrier between #1 and #2.

        I’d like to see the study repeated with men who sit to pee or women who stand (it’s possible and not inherently more difficult than for men, but clothing and culture make it a lot less common than the other way around), because I suspect that the mental barrier is the key here.

        I suspect there’s a difference because of other culture-related urination urges. I grew up doing a lot of swimming in lakes, and I was never really discouraged from peeing in the lake, as long as I wasn’t right next to someone (probably pretty gross for some people, but I honestly can’t bring myself to find it very gross). That’s my main experience with rapid, immersive temperature changes, and I still feel an almost overwhelming urge to pee when getting into or out of the shower or any body of water. I can pee immediately before getting into the shower, but that doesn’t make a difference. Infants have the temperature response too, which is why you need to be careful changing a diaper in the cold, lest you get peed on. It can be trained out of you though: a friend of mine grew up swimming competitively and had a lot of experience jumping into and out of pools, where she was discouraged from peeing (thankfully). She no longer feels any temperature related urge to pee that she notices.

          Google says: A hole in a mathematical object is a topological structure which prevents the object from being continuously shrunk to a point

          Which is as clear as dirt. My understanding of it is to take every point on an object and make it as minimally convex when compared to its neighbors (ie, try to make a sphere) and the holes are the spaces inside of the object where the object isn’t (fuck that’s also unclear). Like a mug is topologically the same as a donut.

          Anyways, both the urethra and vagina are just concave spaces (divots) whereas the anus is a hole that connects to the face holes (mouth, nostrils, tear ducts). Assuming you define a hole as anything greater than 60 microns. Any smaller than that and the human body is basically Swiss cheese.

    If some circles on a door prevent you from opening one and peeking inside to check for urinals, you should never have left your house to begin with.
