It doesn’t say that in Japanese lol. I guess this means the Westerner urinators are the ones that need the extra instruction. In Japanese it just says “thanks for keeping the restroom clean”
That’s delightful
Japanese people are culturally conditioned to respond well to politeness and obligation.
Anglos living in Japan are often some flavour of weeaboo.
Thus, each culture gets a message they’ll respond well to.
Yakuza game?
I am chaos.
Why did I automatically think this was in the woman’s?
I wish more Japanese dudes would wash their fucking hands after though. It’s so gross.
The Japanese have shame culture down to an art form.
Maaaaaaan. This is spoken like someone who’s never had a kidney stone, and needed lasers to be shoved up their urethra, and turned their insides into star wars.
Now when I pee it comes out in 1 stream. Or maybe 6 seperate streams all going different ways. You never know.
Not 6, but 2-3 is the universal experience.
Oof, ok I’m getting a glass of water…
All joking aside, drinking more water is genuinely the most effective way to prevent kidney stones. Everyone should drink more water.
Also there’s something about high concentrations of caffeine and sugar ingested at the same time that correlates with higher occurrences of kidney stones, with energy drinks being the worst offenders.
It also has something to do with water quality I presume, as I was once in a city I learned had the highest incidence of kidney stones in the country, supposedly.
For me it was a combination of working in a factory at 135F degrees, and also drinking as much gatoraid as you can imagine you’d want. I’d buy the 24 pack of 32oz bottles. That would last 1-2 days.
Apperently Gatoraid is also very high in salt.
It’s always either General Kenobi or General Grievous with you, huh?
In China, a lot of the urinal signs say “For you, 1 small step forward, for society, 1 big step forward”.
The urinals still have a depressing amount of piss under them.
That’s because urinals are crap at not splashing. In fact, one of the Ig Nobel prize winners this year was a better urinal.
Thanks for that rabbit hole, it was very interesting!
Oh no, I forgot my peeing suit and monocle.
Tophats are just a backup in case yo can’t make it to the loo in time.
piss with honor
I always do. Unless other me is sleepwalking, you don’t even want to know.
Anyone know where I can get the original to print/laminate/frame around the various restrooms I see across the world? I’m being serious.
トイレをきれいに使って頂きありがとうございます。 Is the Japanese if you want it for something.
Which one of those glyphs is the one that means piss
None. It literally says thank you for using the toilet cleanly.
This is the most Japanese thing I’ve ever seen.
In japanese it only ask you to keep the toilet clean, thank you.
Apply pissiprin!
According to machine translation:
“Thank you for using the toilet cleanly.”toire kinda means bathroom as well so in this case it’s (semi-literal) thanks for using the restroom cleanly.
As a Japanese speaker: yep.
