Wouldn't it be the taller the toilet, the more splash you'll have, as it needs to fall further before reaching the water?

    If you make it tall enough then the poop will reach terminal velocity before hitting the water

    Is Witch's Kiss a porn term? Asking for a friend.

    When the toilet too small and the dick touches the inside of the bowl 😞

    What? That's impossible! There's no way that could

    Oh wait. I'm now realizing this is a me problem.

    Challenge accepted. Good luck to the measurement team.

    I might be wrong but splashback seems to be a purely American problem. European toilets tend to have a much lower water level (and I'm not even talking about those old-timey poop shelf toilets). In my well over 30 years of using toilets, I barely remember ever getting splashed.

    Oh no. It's an EU problem also. In the UK we have a special term 'fireman's blanket' for the tissue you lay down to prevent the said splash.

    I might get a house soon and I hope there’s at least one company in EU that still makes the shelf toilets. It’s perfect also to be able to look at your shit.

    I just leave the bowl empty of water, then flush with a separate bucket I fill from the bathtub tap.

    Sure, the bowl is covered in shit stains, but at least I don't have to experience Poseidon's Kiss.

    Just use a suction hose astronaut style.

    Doubt that would accomplish anything but I am surprised we cant apply modern CAD/simulation tech and ML… hell any modern tech to possibly design a toilet bowl that deflects piss and doesn’t allow shit to cling to it like a 3M glue.

    With modern material science and rapid prototyping I am disappoint.

    The Dutch have already solved the splashback question but the world was not ready for their solution.

    We don't need to measure. Just make it double the height based on the terminal velocity in 1atm

    you need the opposite. small enough space that its mostly in water before the pinch. just don't have the squirts.

    Turdminal velocity is an important consideration.

    There are toilets that have a shitshelf, no splash ever. Stains are more likely, but a layer of tp or a quick post-partum brushing does the trick. Small price to pay for a dry bum.

    The splash is a free bidet

    Except the velocity varies.. sometimes you get the slow rollers other times the super sonic projectile and then there are snapping turtles.. they poke out a head and go back in.

    i've never been splashed, American toilets have the cistern in the bowel to deliberately splash you, it's punishment for not moving to the metric system.
