Are public toilets not free to use where you live?
I thought this meme template was intended to be subtle. Now were just saying weird shit
" you eat hotdogs because you like the cylindrical meat in your mouth"
“I eat hotdogs because I get to drink the hotdog water after”
“We are not the same!”
Do you see how generic this meme has gotten? Literally think of any topic, show one viewpoint and an alternative viewpoint. and you can slap that “we are not the same!” line after.
Heres another one: “You pour your milk before your cereal first”
“I pour my milk after my cereal”
“We are not the same!”
You take shitposts serious
I find fun and enjoyment in reading and making shitposts
We are not the same
OK, where credit is due, that was a good use.
Touché!
(Yes I take my shitposts seriously)
What dystopian shithole has non-free public toilets?
The place I’d expect to be that dystopian is the Untied States but I don’t think it’s them
It’s one of the two things that keep us from a revolution. The other is free water.
Lol apparently New Zealand is joining those ranks. Along with an app to pay.
Oh FFS. This is why we can’t have nice things.
Europe
Europe. 👏 Is.👏 Not.👏 A.👏 Single.👏 Nation👏
*some parts of europe
The main countries that do this, that I’ve interacted with, are Bavaria in Germany and Austria. They claim to do so to prevent people from vandalizing the toilets. People still vandalize the toilets (why?).
I paid a dollar to use a bathroom in a Portuguese ferry terminal which had both sinks pulls off the wall (still sitting there on the ground as if anyone was coming to fix it) and a single working toilet which had a big chunk of porcelain knocked out of the bowl. It was actually pretty clean though.
I’d assume it’s most parts of Europe - the Nordics certainly do, Germany and Austria as you mentioned, I believe Spain and Italy rely on paying for access by making a purchase in a café/restaurant, etc.
The only exceptions as far as I can tell seem to be the UK, Ireland and parts of France.
Just means vandalism of public bathrooms is now pay to play.
Me when (and only when) I’m using a handicap-accessible public restroom that’s free for everyone:
seriously, the ADA is one of the greatest and most important pieces of American legislation ever written for so many reasons (including this one), and for this reason I foresee – at some stage – the fascists here trying to repeal it. “Fuck them cripples, I got mine” is entirely in line with the Republican train of thought.
Canada and the US are pretty similar in this regard and our public washrooms are free only in that that are basically non existent. Public washrooms are usually just those inside businesses and half of them require you to make a purchase
Not all of Europe only the shit parts…
Ah yes, the shit parts like all of the Nordics, Germany, Austria, Spain, etc.
What a joke of a comment
I said what I said.
Kudos for standing up for it I guess
All those place are culturally autistic (excluding Spain, where I thought public toilets are free if not widely avialable?) GDP is not the only measure of a place’s worth.
Spain, culturally autistic? Ok
Gotta keep the poors out
They’re also trying to keep trans people out
I actually prefer it, having lived in both places. Because they charge for it, there’s an expectation that it’s clean and pleasant to use. Fewer disgusting toilets this way.
Mexico, and they only give you a few pieces of toilet paper
At least they have public toilets. In thenUS we’re beholden to the kindness of franchise operators.
I’ve never been denied the use of a toilet in any business.
Nono, you pay for the shithole, that makes it preem, not dystopian!
- some capitalist, probably
Generally paid public toilets are not charging enough to make money; it’s a fee to discourage people from using it as a private space to be antisocial by vandalising it for fun.
It is not 100% effective and has downsides, but it’s not a capitalist money making scheme, usually.
Today for the first time i went into the parents room at the airport with my wife and son.
It was nice, microwave cushy recliners with change tables and curtains
Sink and instant boiled water.
Kinda makes me think when I’m flying on my own I could just hang in there and decompress before jumping in the sardine can.
Obviously i won’t because it’s all set up for breast feeding and I’m sure me in there by myself would be creepy
Am I too American for this meme?
I’m from a European country where public toilets usually aren’t free, and this meme doesn’t make any sense here either, because having a kid with you will not make the toilet free to use anyway.
A lot more often, due to need to switch diapers. Those rooms have a toilet for parents as well. In Norway I have encountered it a lot of times
Shit, even over here a lotta places don’t allow non-paying customers to use the bathroom. But they’ll usually make an exception for a kid.
Life hack.
