We've Been Pooping Wrong

According To Science, You've Probably Been Pooping Wrong Your Whole Life | IFLScience

When we stand up or sit down, there's a kink in our lower gut that stops us pooping at random. But when we squat, our guts elegantly straighten out, leaving us free to eject any waste in comfort.

Pooping...meh. Think about women laying on their back pushing up against gravity in childbirth merely for the convenience of the doctor rather than kneeling in a gravity assist position.

If you see footprints on the top of the edges of the bowl somebody has been doing it properly.

Thanks but I'd rather have one that I can sit and read even when taking a leak and it has a stream of warm water for men at one position and women at another with a warm puff of drying air.

I love those old squatter toilets. They make for the most natural pooing position except for none at all in the woods!

Not as handy for reading though and you have to be careful with your trousers not to poo on them.

I always thought they were the reason the brits call the French frogs. Is that right Strelnik?

Gentlemen - I have the solution!

Honestly? Are YOU speaking from experience? What did you do after that "incident"?
