It needs to be set up so that all contents go to Washington. However, since it's likely a low-flow you'll have to flush twice.
56 years of crapping wrong. Now they tell me.
I am guessing some government grant spent millions over many years to come up with this phenomenial new toilet. For that I propose it be named after our current president.
How did I know it? I remember some crank years ago saying this was the greatest ill suffered by Western society, and if only we'd use the good ol' squatters that are still popular in the Far East (Yup, seen 'em. And -- nope.) or just dropped down like jungle savages, it would end cancer, heart disease, Red Dye #5, and the arms race.
ANYTHING to knock down Western Civ.
Actually, medical science has indeed verified that the current design of toilets in the west prevents the efficient emptying of the bowel. But as was said earlier, using a stool to raise your feet off the ground is enough. No need to cathole in your back yard.
Who thinks this shit up and why are we paying for it?
Two questions: Why is that woman pooping in the middle of a train station? And how come nobody has told her she forgot to pull down her pants?
That's gonna be a mess, trust me, I've been there...

Likely she votes democrat and is waiting for someone from the govt. to assist her.........
I saw this on a local news cast. You straddle it. You do not draw your legs up like the girl in the above picture. They described the reason for the height is to get you out of the sitting position in order to no longer pinch but open up your bowels.
I thought we were supposed to pinch them off.
That's why they are tapered, otherwise your sphincter would slam shut.
LOL! The things Iearm at IHTM............................:0
I know...!
Bad back.
Bad knees.
Bad idea.
But that's just me.
They don't care if you can get back up. They just want you to void in the position approved by cavemen.
This can be achieved by having a stool in the bathroom in which to raise the feet on. Or I suppose one can lean back while doing the deed on the "throne". This is just... odd...
The stool is what is usually recommended (and no, I don't mean THAT stool, so don't get started.) The toilet's design is unnecessary, but I suppose its better that the hole in the ground toilets in Japan. The position is ideal for the structure of the human intestinal system.
I was thinking the same thing. Not to mention those who have a lot of weight in the abdominal area, they'd never be able to use this commode.
