When I went to Cuba they had the reverse of this sign in the hotels
Put the trash in the toilet
Doing God’s work.
I once worked at a place where we had to put signs up telling people not to put paper towels in the urinals. Three of us had a coordinated investigation going on to figure out who was doing it, we were down to only two or three suspects before the signs went up.
They clearly doing that on purpose. Most likely to send a message.
Why would I put poo in the feet washing machine though?
Mr. Jobs?
behind every sign is a story
I love that this is clearly ChatGPT, too.
Can you imagine writing that prompt? On a work computer?
You run into this a lot working in agriculture. Cultural differences.
Sometimes class elitism is called cultural differences.
Often times people (or towns, or cities) who use bins for toilet paper is because their plumbing can’t handle the toilet paper being thrown into it, and upgrading it is just prohibitively expensive.
And then they get called gross, or weird, or outdated culture, when it really is just “I didn’t choose where I was born.”
Being disgusting is culturally indifferent.
being poor is gross and weird, most of us are just too polite to say it.
Except if it was just generated by a sloperator for a dumb joke, which is almost certainly the case here :/
Excuse me, WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT THE BIN IS FOR TRASH AND THE TOILET IS FOR POOP‽
I’ve lived completely deceived, swindled, scammed… I won’t believe in anything again…
Tbf, they’re incorrect that flooding poop helps plumbing do anything. This is obvious propaganda from Big Clog.
What workplace?
Recent immigrants from countries with bad plumbing sometimes continue to throw out toilet paper. The pipes in some countries can’t handle it
I suspect that’s why my wife pats after using the bidet and throws it in the trash can. No, there’s no smell or poop or anything gross in the slightest, but it’s a bit odd.
Right, got it, so I pee in the bins? I mean I must do, or else what are they there for?
Maybe it is because I am not a native english speaker, but why is the feces/poop/shit called “number 2 waste”? Never heard of that expression.
From internet: “In schools (especially from the 1960s onward, though likely earlier), kids held up one finger to ask to pee and two fingers to ask to go “number 2”.”
The expressions have stuck around ever since.
Interesting
“Number 2 waste” is an unusual phrase to native speakers (or at least THIS native speaker), but this poster is made with AI.
“Number 2” by itself is commonly understood to mean “poop.” Children will usually say “I have to take a number 2” instead of “having to take a poop” because it’s considered more polite. Number one is pee, by the way.
As for the origin of this phrase, I have no idea. It’s very very common, at least in the USA.
Growing up, number 1 is pee and #2 = code brown
In the Netherlands the “elegant” cryptic way of referring to it is “de grote boodschap” [the big/great message], ie “I need to deliver the great message to the toilet”.
“Boodschap” sounds like what my butt says to the toilet, so it all works out?
So many wrong answers to your question. It’s simple - number “two” rhymes with “poo”, leaving number one to be pee.
That sounds like it doesn’t make any sense… why is pee not called number three, then? Maybe you thought of that explanation yourself when you were little?
So it’s OK to pee in the bin is what I’m getting from this
Why would you do that when there’s a perfectly good sink right there?
Floor’s too good for ye mfckers
curious where is your pfp from?
Meme someone sent me a few months back
The sign implies the bin is for anything besides human feces. Human pee would be fine. As would dog semen. And dog feces. And dog blood. Hell you could put a whole dog in the bin as long as it has no human feces.
Actually it doesn’t specify human anything, it just says “number 2” which, logically, would encompass fecal matter from all species that have separate tracts for urine and feces.
Therefore, one could surmise that only feces from species with a single tract, such as birds or fish, would be acceptable to place in the bin.
So you’d need to remove the feces from the dog, before putting it in the bin?
That’s just good practice in any case
To be fair, when I went on a vacation to Mexico, the hotel indicated exactly the opposite…
I mean you still don’t put the whole dump in the bin though, just the paper you used. Pretty common in a lot of countries.
I sincerely hope all of those countries have ubiquitous bidets.
is there anywhere but the USA that doesn’t do it the right way?
Saw a sign saying “dont throw toilet paper into the toilet” in a middle eastern country last summer and was very confused.
Flushable wipes are NOT
The pipes are very narrow then and there is risk of clogging
Toilet paper also requires specific processing of the waste water. It’s normally screened off and sent to landfill when it reaches the treatment plant, but I imagine many countries wouldn’t have this infrastructure.
In the USA anyway toilet paper is legally required to dissolve in water within a certain time frame. Maybe this is not the case in other countries
It’s still screened off and sent to landfil. “dissolve” isn’t really possible with paper, just breaking into smaller parts.
I’m no expert, but I’m guessing the rules are about the pipes between flushing and treatment, as I can imagine a slurry of toilet paper bits is a lot less likely to create blockages than a mountain of wet wipes.
Yes, that makes sense. Not dissolve in the technical sense of form a solution in water, but more of the layperson sense of “disintegrate” into that paper slurrey and not cause blockages in pipes.
We all know that if you have too much paper and not enough water, it will block a pipe. But given typical usage, it should be safe for USA-code pipes since it disintegrates into that “slurrey.”
TIL that the water treatment plant screens it out and disposes of it! I imagine this is part of the process where they screen out other solids as well
ask any water treatment plant worker and they will tell you, that is a dream, toilet paper shouldnt be flushed at any situation
Are you in USA?
Flushable wipes are a lie, but government employees have told me that toilet paper dissolves.
toilet paper is always flushed in the USA unless you have a sceptic system and then it depends.
Makes perfect sense
Goddamn AI slop.
