American toilet design?

In a UK toilet (with the water just at the bottom), I always piss just to the side of the water, otherwise you splash the water up. Plus it makes a f****ng loud noise pissing into water, so the whole house can hear you. I consider it disgusting to let everyone else hear you, especially if someone is eating!

Invalid answer to question.

That is not the reason, though.

It is to enable the user to make a visual examination and act quickly in the event that any traces of blood - indicative of bowel cancer - are seen.

Early treatment means that deaths from bowel cancer in Germany are very low by comparison with the UK as a result.

Um, I don?t think so. Of course you can use it for that but I believe the prime reason was the German love of pork products. In days of old tape worm infestation in pork very common so a pan with a ledge made it easy to detect when you had got infected.

We don't have water restrictions in the UK. The UK is very very wet.

OMG, I just found this:

By visual examination of what is on the platform would the average person be able to tell if there are traces of blood? Bowel cancer screening in the UK is/was a smear of s*it on a transparent plastic sheet to be viewed under a microscope.

I think the examination is chemical/immunological rather then microscopic, and presumably interested parties could get their own little testing sticks, like sugar test ones. I don't know if they sell them in Germany.

Originally, I understand it was for inspection for worms.

If there is a change in normal color you'd notice and maybe want to get a professional checkup. You don't need a shelf to notice your stool is now black.

Damn, those pickled beets were good.

It detected where you are from the IP. I just put google.de into Tor and got

Resers Google. Mon pe santi mwan sanse.

Google i ofer dan: Deutsch English Français

As far as I can tell I'm in Seychelles and it's trying to respond in whatever bastardized French they speak there. google translate seems to feel 'Mon pe santi mwan sanse' is Haitian Creole and means 'I can't feel my sense'

Try a Welsh proxy and see if it manages that.

I'm not sure the Welsh can manage Welsh.

The South half cannot. They just speak English, despite the stupid councils putting the road signs in both. I learnt the important things from signs - "slow", "police", "speed camera", etc. Arraff! Heddllu! Camerau Cyflimder! As you enter Wales over the Severn Bridge, the first two signs are actually "Welcome to Wales. Speed Cameras".

That's just the first photo I came across. Most of the road signs on the Flathead Reservation are in English and Salish.

A local mountain was called Squaw Peak but that became politically incorrect so they renamed it Ch-paa-qn. They originally thought it mean 'shining mountain' but someone who could still speak Salish said it means 'gray, treeless mountain' which is entirely correct. Still nobody could pronounce it. Lately the Forest Service has been calling it 'Old Woman Peak'.

At least the Welsh use the standard Roman alphabet even if they are overly fond of consonants.

Or you simply have a small cut on your arse.

That is f****ng revolting.

Don't they just infest dogs? Ok, some German women fall into that category.

And how do they cope with the f****ng stench of a s*it that isn't underwater?

If I was a German I would have rushed to the hospital after eating beetroot.
