Maybe it is because I am not a native english speaker, but why is the feces/poop/shit called “number 2 waste”? Never heard of that expression.
From internet: “In schools (especially from the 1960s onward, though likely earlier), kids held up one finger to ask to pee and two fingers to ask to go “number 2”.”
The expressions have stuck around ever since.
Interesting
Growing up, number 1 is pee and #2 = code brown
In the Netherlands the “elegant” cryptic way of referring to it is “de grote boodschap” [the big/great message], ie “I need to deliver the great message to the toilet”.
“Boodschap” sounds like what my butt says to the toilet, so it all works out?
Goddamn AI slop.
So it’s OK to pee in the bin is what I’m getting from this
Why would you do that when there’s a perfectly good sink right there?
The sign implies the bin is for anything besides human feces. Human pee would be fine. As would dog semen. And dog feces. And dog blood. Hell you could put a whole dog in the bin as long as it has no human feces.
Actually it doesn’t specify human anything, it just says “number 2” which, logically, would encompass fecal matter from all species that have separate tracts for urine and feces.
Therefore, one could surmise that only feces from species with a single tract, such as birds or fish, would be acceptable to place in the bin.
So you’d need to remove the feces from the dog, before putting it in the bin?
Just because you found this in a workplace toilet doesn’t mean the workplace put it there.
Great way to troll your fellow workers. Especially if you make the inverse of this sign and replace only some of the copies.
To be fair, when I went on a vacation to Mexico, the hotel indicated exactly the opposite…
I mean you still don’t put the whole dump in the bin though, just the paper you used. Pretty common in a lot of countries.
Saw a sign saying “dont throw toilet paper into the toilet” in a middle eastern country last summer and was very confused.
Flushable wipes are NOT
The pipes are very narrow then and there is risk of clogging
Toilet paper also requires specific processing of the waste water. It’s normally screened off and sent to landfill when it reaches the treatment plant, but I imagine many countries wouldn’t have this infrastructure.
Makes perfect sense
I’ve heard of places where they have you put the used tp in a trash can because the plumbing can’t handle it.
But aside from that, and from tossing a dirty diaper in the trash can, I can’t imagine how else you might wind up putting the poop anywhere other than the toilet.
I’d rather shit behind a tree than be stuck in a small room wirth the solid remains of dozens of peoples shit.
Every toilet you go into you’re stuck in a room with some different levels of people’s shit, I’d wager, minuscule or otherwise.
That’s the majority of South America.
Guess lots of counties with underdeveloped infrastructure
“Keeps the toilet clean”
Huh?
I’d say that AI slop belongs in the bin
A roommate’s mum was visiting from SEA and at one point we noticed that that bathroom was smelling like shit. We discovered a bunch of used toilet paper in the little trash-can for tampons and stuff.
Had to ask our roommate to please explain to his mum how European toilets work.
looks ai to me
Toilets waste a lot of water. It belongs in a compost pile.
I’m not disagreeing with the overall message, but some of the reasons listed here seem dubious. How exactly does putting it in the toilet help keep the toilets clean or help the plumbing work properly?
I guess it’s assuming you had enough fiber
OK. Where does a diaper go?
The dumpster outside.
In the toilet? Clearly it belongs in the bin. Didn’t they read the sign?
