    Ho appena visto un post su Twitter in cui si dice che questo è il bagno comune nelle famiglie tedesche. Se questo è vero, qual è lo sfondo?

      Havn’t seen a good old Ablageklo in a long time…

      They aren’t common, at least not anymore. They do exist though

      You will find this sometimes, but it’s not the majority anymore in my experience.

      Old houses with bathrooms from the 90s maybe.
      Last time I saw one of those in the hardware store must be ages.
      But I also wasn’t out looking for a new one most of the time. 🙂

      So Yes, you might see one of those.
      Just not everywhere anymore.

      Yes you can still find these quite often here. 😀 no idea what the purpose was but I can tell you it can be a mess to clean up…

      It was common, it is no longer.

      Its purpose is, obviously, to admire what you did. You can turn around, you clap your hands and shout out loud: “What the hell”.

      Or you make a photo and send it through snapchat.

      They used to be more common but still exist. They allow to admire the poop and to let its smell distribute better through the air.

      That’s a Flachspüler (flat flush toilet). Not common anymore – you find them in older bathrooms/ buildings. Tiefspüler (deep flush toilets) are way more common now.
      Benefits of a flat flush toilet: poop doesn’t drop into large amount of water – no splash. If you needed it would be easier to take stool samples but we don’t need to more often than anywhere else in the industrialised world.

      We have one at home, our house was build in the late 80s. Pretty handy when you have to bring stool to your doctor.

      Maybe the purpose was that no water splashes back up to your butt. I don’t know what else could be the a special purpose. Maybe there is none.

    13. unforgettable-cake on

      Ah yes. The shit shelf.

      Unfortunately it’s quite common

    15. Walkersaich on

      Correctly it’s called „Thrönchen“, „little throne“. Was normal in my youth and I am old now.

    17. CarlitoManson on

      Not common. Maybe more common about 40 years ago. Only explanation I can come up with: less shitwater splash…

    18. Hastirasd on

      They WERE common in many households. And yeah I was told they are made for what they are looking like. You could easily inspect your poo afterwards. In times of unclean food you could take a Quick Look for things like parasites or other things not belonging in poop

      I stayed in an apartment with my German exchange student in the 90s and they had this toilet, I was too scared to poop in it and only used the bathroom at the school and a bowling ally the whole time I was there.

    21. Psychological-Bed751 on

      I’ve seen it twice. My friends apartment has one and at a random old Russian bar in Germany.

      I did a #2 at my friends once and it was very jarring.

      But also, when I was instructed to look for blood in my stool by my Dr, it was basically impossible with the modern German toilet. It all goes straight down into a small hole and there’s minimal water. So there’s that.

    22. DangerousTurmeric on

      I have one of these in the place I’m renting. I read that they were invented because people wanted to monitor their health by peering at their dumps. It’s especially useful for detecting parasites, apparently. I don’t know if that’s true but I also can’t think of any other possible use for this design.

    25. Cappabitch on

      Both apartments I’ve had in this building got these. Visitors absolutely hate it and are totally unable to comprehend using the toilet brush.

    27. AdConsistent430 on

      They are called „Flachspüler“ and were very common, but not anymore. Statistics say its 10% nowadays. My student shared flat had one tho, because our landlord was a greedy scumbag.

      Pro:

      – No Water Splash on your Balls

      – Stool examination

      Contra:

      – Stinks

      How can you measure the courics to compete for the world record? Do you think the European Fecal Standards and Measurements office in Zurich will believe you if its flashed instant down the toilet???????

    29. tist20 on

      I prefer Flachspüler toilets because I dislike the splashing that occurs with other types, as it can be unhygienic and unpleasant.

    30. DocSternau on

      They were common back in the 1980s. Why, no idea. Maybe so that you don’t splash up water at your behind.

      It was helpful for me as a kid to discover early that I had worms.
