If scrolling feels more exhausting than entertaining, you're not alone. I feel the same way, and a recent study backs up the sentiment: Social media is losing its fun factor.

                Not with a shelf. It rests there. I’m not talking fluid diets, but soft not fully formed mass. There is a whole scale for assessing stool. For most people it’s unnecessary but it can be helpful for those with things like crohns disease or IBS or ibd. Or even just for descripties for people describing discrepancy to their doctor.

                  Yeah I’m familiar with the Bristol scale. Unless these toilets have a bowl above the water I don’t see how it wouldn’t just flow down.

                  But either way, I’m not sure there’s a difference between loose stool on a shelf vs loose stool in water. I’ve had all kinds of stool in my life, and my share of bowel problems, and I’ve never had trouble analyzing my stool. A significant factor is just how it feels coming out, and smell is a factor as well. You still get the full sensation of both in a regular toilet, for better or for worse. (Two of my more interesting bowel problems were mystery unusual dark green stool (color-changing Oreos) and intermittent unattributable constipation (nearby cancer pressing on the intestine)).

      Germans call them “Flachspüler” (flat washer). I appreciate that the falling dookie doesn’t splash water onto your ass. A fine feat of engineering and VERY off-topic. 🤣
