Is it true that in America, toilet bowls are left full of water? Then when you flush, it removes the water first then refills it? I understand this is to do with odour prevention, but doesn't it splash you when you take a dump?
American toilet design?

Our's splash as well, I always line it with toilet paper. In Germany there is a platform at the bottom of the bowl, thus preventing splashbacks.
You could keep your penis fish in one ready to stick up your arse.
There's probably a lot of nasties like that in the Aussie outdoor Dunnies. Rod?
Sit further forwards, then it'll lose most of its momentum hitting the bit in front of the water. I never get splashed.
That's not why they have that platform there. You're meant to inspect (ugh!) what you've done to see if you have any diseases. I would think that's a damn good way to CATCH diseases!
Catch diseases by looking at them, yeah sure.
So you hold your breath while looking do you?

You still can't catch a diseases by just looking at them.
The American toilets I've used seem to use the syphonic system that used to be available in the UK in the 1970s.
The American ones generally do have more water. I?m not sure about the sequence of emptying. They used to favour a flap mechanism in the cistern but that wouldn?t change things in the bowl.
The platform in German ones is so you can examine your waste, I kid you not. Apparently the Germans,at least in the past thought, this was a good idea.
You can't catch diseases from smells, either.
It was penis fish, now it's toilets. You really are a sick in the head unemployable wanker.
Is it also true you keep your head in the bowl so as not to miss a mouthful-of-s*it opportunity, d*****ad?
The newer 1.6 and 1.2 really do a good job. The first ones were terrible but they figured it out.
Oh f*ck off you silly prude. How do you weirdos reproduce if you can't handle anything "disgusting"?
Just what do you think a smell is? It's part of the substance which has evaporated. That's why you can be poisoned by inhaling things. When you breathe in somebody's fart, or the smell after they've done a s*it, you actually have their s*it condensing inside your nose and lungs.
They do something with suction in aeroplanes and trains, but I've never heard of it in a domestic toilet.
