Some worker was crushed to death while performing maintenance work on one of those in London which is certainly a way to go

I imagine in normal use there's a bunch of failsafes on them to prevent this happening but imagining being pissed and trying to take a leak then the hydraulics failing and getting cocooned in a smelly piss hole is loving terrifying

I feel like the folks working on the retractable urinal are probably not the same guys working on curing cancer. Like if you pulled them off project pisser-b-gone I dont think we'd solve world hunger or get to mars any faster.

Nah, scientists ate like resources in an RTS. You assign them to science, then when that science is built you assign them to another one. It's just a matter of resource allocation that gave us poptarts instead of a pill that makes your dick sing like The Big Boppa.

I don't think you have to worry, America would never build something like this. We're perfectly happy to let you die from the fentanyl inflicted gunshot laying in the piss, because anybody who matters would never walk anywhere why would they notice either lol.

Yeah but you're probably sober enough not to piss on the street if you can't find a restroom.

Many people walking around after dark on weekends are not.

What if someone is sober on a weekend? Can they still use it??

Seriously, though... is there is a huge overhead cost to having it open all the time? It's already been built, it's a urinal so not a lot of moving parts to have to repair, no supplies to refill... why can't people piss in it any time they need to?

They could have built it more cheaply if they didn't make it retract... so I'm confused as to what problem this contraption is trying to solve vs having restrooms available all the time.

Dude it's just a urinal that comes out the ground when someone uses a key. It's really not very complicated or some engineering genius thats taking someone away from going to work at NASA.

During the day there public toilets in the various shopping centres. Those are closed during night.

We used to have public toilets but they used to stink of piss and have glass and needles everywhere, they were awful.

If I built it it'd have hella springs and when you turn the key it sends you to Mars.

The overhead cost is the physical presence of an open urinal on the street that presumably smells like piss along with the visual of dudes getting their dicks out to use it.

Edit: I'm all for public toilets but if you're building something for everyone then it's going to take up a whole lot more real estate and require cubicles for those who need to sit down to piss. The pop-up-pisser is aimed at a very specific target audience.

Pennywise the Frown: May 10, 2010; Upset Trowel

Do bars or the places that these people got drunk at not have their own bathrooms? I can't say I've ever been out drinking at a place without one. It's probably law.

This is very strange to me. My city is only about 100,000 people but we've never had a public urination problem necessitating a (I'd imagine very expensive) retractable device that hides in the sidewalk 5 days a week. They need maintenance just like any other porta potty but with a higher skill level to fix. I've been in NYC and Chicago and other massive cities out drinking at night and I can't say I've seen people openly pissing on the streets.

Maybe it's a European thing.

It's just so :psyduck:

to me.

Yes bars have bathrooms obviously. But you're done drinking or just moving going to a different palce, and need to pee out the beer so...

I've never seen anyone pissing just in the middle of a downtown street (might be just luck) but quiet residential areas or parks, sure.
