Mark my words, in 100 years we'll look back at urinals like we look back at communal toilets in Rome where you shared a shit covered sponge to wash your ass. Why use a urinal when you can just use the toilet? Do you like having other people's pee splatter all over you? It's a barbaric practice. I will make sure urinals are abolished once i am made the general secretary of the central committee of the communist party of the fucking world republic

I’ve never had another person’s pee splatter on me at a urinal.

Urinals are not any less sanitary than toilets. If anything, they are more sanitary because contactless.

Furthermore, they are optional. Many people do not feel ashamed to be seen peeing and have no hangups when it comes to using a urinal. I grew up playing outside with friends and often being far from a bathroom, and it wasn’t unusual to go find a tree in the woods to pee instead of finding a toilet.

to be fair, pissing on bushes or trees is MUCH nicer than using an urinal. you're in nature, there's green stuff to look at, there's fresh air. it's nice.
