I've never seen a toilet seat that could be fully rotated around the mounting feet, but I guess someone had to make one somewhere. I guess there's no real reason not to be able to do that except it allows you to screw up in hilarious fashion.

Is it even possible to keep that dry with something like underfloor radiant heat, or is it just going to be a mold problem after the first week?

In the original vision they would have had decorative bathmats around the sink, toilet, and bath to handle liquids. If it gets wet just toss it in the dryer.





Put your bathroom on the "best dressed" list.

Underfloor is gonna make the toilet area smell even more like piss though.

I've been in a few public restrooms that smelled like boiling piss before. It would probably give incentive to aim better if it was in your house.

I've posted it before but I lived in a flat where there was carpet nailed to the floor around the toilet. The floor was also carpet. It was....not nice.

I don't know why in tyool 2023 it is still impossible to build a public toilet that does not instantly a) smell of piss and b) have half of the urinals broken and the wall panels falling off.

It surely can't be impossible to just build it out of steel and blast the whole thing with water every night like a prison or something. But no, it's gonna be fake wood panelling and Dyson driers blasting water all over the place.

Tokyo has several subway station restrooms that are made out of materials that look nice from further away but can just be sprayed off with drains in the middle of the floor. There are firehose receptacles in the restroom for this purpose. I only saw it happen once, I don't know why, and I don't want to know, just given the list of things I have seen happen before the first train.

Recently saw a click-baity article about "genius ideas" and one of them was a urinal stall where the entire floor under the urinal was a grate over a drain, so that "misses don't make a mess!" And I am like ... why even have a wall-mounted urinal then? If pissing on the floor is that big a problem, just make it a flushing piss trough?

There's quite a few public toilets in Australia that do this - the whole thing self cleans after every use, similar to the one posted.

Otherwise most public toilets I've used are mostly tiled and easily cleaned, so they generally only smell like the piss that's accumulated since it was last cleaned, which unfortunately is still a lot of piss.

The USA has a reputation for bad toilets though, the cubical doors are weirdly tiny and the toilets fill all the way up with water for no discernible reason.

I was at a festival* and they had urinal troughs in portable units and went in there and then imagine my surprise for a woman to walk in and sit on the trough and use it right next to me. "I don't see why men shouldn't have to queue so long so why not".


*it was a one day thing that the local city population would go to and get utterly wrecked, a few years later they banned alcohol because it was such a mess so nobody went and they ended up closing it down.

If you had underfloor heat you wouldn't need or want carpet though!

Madonna Inn ( https://goo.gl/maps/9bggwUEoc2tEugzo7 ) has a urinal where you literally just piss on the floor.
It was interesting enough that I had to take a picture of it. Didn't use it, so no idea how it works, but I can imagine you get a lot of backsplash.

Best idea I've seen for getting people to piss right was taping a fake fly inside the urinal. Just makes them aim at it, trying to drown it.
