It shows up as the actual GIF, like this:

Does it unravel a little and brush against things?

A cat could easily pull it off a sideways roll.

Would not work for the average American

It's funny I've lived with these all my life without even considering it 😅 Even public bathrooms which have to accommodate all kinds of people and ungodly usage scenarios commonly have those here. I've never heard stories of it being a problem ever.

However, these are usually mounted in solid brick or concrete walls, so that's probably why it works here

Tap the tip for pee and the shaft for poo.

Why the fuck does it look like that? Are they in the running for most confusing possible button design?

You can access and replace the entire internal mechanism through the hole the wall plate for the flush buttons is mounted on.

No need to apologize. Even access through that panel is ridiculous. Those panels are 20x40cm max. Working at 90 degrees through a small opening is unnecessarily hard. And major repairs, which will be once every 30 years or so will require ripping the wall open.

It only makes sense for commercial installs where Hotels go through complete renovations every 10 years and and an extra .5 meter clearance is critical because the bathrooms are tiny in downtown European cities.

Maybe there's a closet for it rather than it just being in the wall?

And a bold look

Nice catch.

Because, on Lemmy, trust, optimism, and most expressions of positive thinking are seen as weakness, ignorance, or both.

As a disabled dude who sits down on the shitter with the force of a kid literally jumping into bed, I give this toilet 2 visits with my ass before it tears off the wall.

Most consumer toilets are attached to concrete or cinder block walls but home walls are usually wood and drywall.

400kg

That's only 3 USAians if they are static.

Get 250kg (combined) humping reverse cowgirl and see what forces you get.

OK. It just seems like unnecessary engineering for the small advantage of being easier to clean under.

It is pretty funny to me that AI has made people completely forget that things like Photoshop and Blender exist, instead categorizing all content as "100% real" or "100% AI".
