Why We Wee Where We Wee

Passion is important, no matter what you do in life. You should even be passionate about poop, if that’s your thing. It’s an important and daily function of our life, so why not be stoked about it, right?

Well, the folks at Number Two Guide have a large passion for poop. According to the About Us section, Number Two Guide is a “bible for all poo-worthy information, your priest when you have sh** to confess, and your sanctuary when the toilet bowl of life metaphorically, and quite literally, overflows.” If there’s one thing I like about toilet culture, it’s the plentiful amount of puns available.

The Number Two Guide’s most recent post, on European Toilets, was particularly interesting to me. While traveling in Poland I had a gross encounter with one of these toilets, which keeps your feces sitting on a porcelain ledge a few centimeters from your bum. It’s just awkward. The restroom was also the size of a closet, making the experience even more confusing. Anyway, read the post.

European Toilets: I get that it helps conserve water, but couldn't they lower the ledge?
