So apparently this is a thing.
Discuss.

What part of your mind goes "Oh, I just saw this ****ing ridiculous thing, let me post it on this keyboard forum I use"?

I had two tabs open. One was YouTube, the other GeekHack. So you see, I couldn't afford to not post it.

I would say free karma, but this isn't ever reddit... I can relate though

So, did you watch the video?

When you read "Off Topic", assume it is as far from the topic as you can possibly imagine.
Also I lost it at the "rocky road" breaking the cone.

Of course, and then proceeded to order a squatty potty like any sensible adult would.

In all fairness, I think Spamray bough one of these a while ago...

This isn't some new thing/fad/etc. It's actually the best way to expel your waste. It opens your plumbing up better, and helps expel any unwanted leftovers.
Many countries still use this squatting position as the primary way to poo.

I know intelli vouched for it. I've heard of them years ago, and they make sense considering we, as humans, used to crouch for thousands of years. And, as Bro, pointed out, in many places we still do.
Edit:
Intelli was all over the bidet.
I used a bidet in Germany. Scared the crap off of me the first time. Got used to it real quick.

This is the same thing they use in medical enema places. Just helps you push the poop out, but honestly it doesn't do anything you can't do by pressing on your tummy and leaning forward on the toilet. Does the same thing and you don't have to spend $60 on some plastic stairs.

Yeah but then you **** all over your balls.

idk .. I've never had any trouble doin either..
I do know, that I can't squat too long, because my calves and thigh are too big, now that I'm Fat.

Someone told me the squatting position is the default in China. Is this true?

In the Middle East it is. The Arab ability to squat for extended periods of time is really impressive.

Squatting is well known in the world outside the backwards Western countries. Culturally, it means more than just a convenient posture for taking a dump.
For example, in Russia, squatting might be an attacking posture

Or a sign of trust between ladies

A path to enlightenment

Or a political message

Thank you.

HA! Never seen Putin do the Slav Squat, that's going in the memory bank.
Needs more tracksuit though.

Warning: Attempting to 'try-before-you-buy' without the proper platform to balance yourself can result in nearly painting a room.
-
It's funny but I've read it's actually good for the poop sessions, like everything slides out easier and reduces straining...ugggghhhh, hnnnggggggggg
Now if they make one with a beer holder, count me in..

Saw this on Shark Tank awhile back. These people are making serious cash. However, the same thing could be accomplished a cardboard box. Get the dimensions of the Squatty Potty, then get a cardboard box of similar dimensions. Done.

It's normal for public washrooms in China to have squatting toilets - although some houses do too. Most average houses have sitting toilets.

I guess the key advantages to buying one are it's easier to clean, more durable, and it tucks under the seat when you're done.

The real question is ABS or PBT?

That'd have to be a very sturdy cardboard box.

It depends on when the house/apartment was renovated..
The older, the more likely it is to have a squatting toilet..
Almost ALL new renovations have the standards seat.

Is this mostly due to westernization?

This is hilarious....
But yeah, sometimes it's good to raise your feet while on the throne for those difficult moments instead of making your veins pop.

Um, well, there's always been all sorts of trouble with squatting..
For example, OLD people often have trouble, so they would've used something like a small bench, which works like a toilet seat.. they just move their butts off the back of it..
Post industrial, in the beginning they had those spittoon looking buckets that kids and old people used to do poo..
They've had things very similar to the toilet seat since forever..

So the bathroom closest to my office is a single-person bathroom with a locking door, and there's a footstool in there. I'm not going to lie to you guys. I've been trying out this "squatting" position for a few days and I think there's some merit to it.

I think it works either way.. as long as your diet isn't steak every meal...
