Literally 'talking shit' saves lives. Animals instinctively know to monitor their dumps for detection and diagnostic purposes. We think we're so that much cleverer with all our meretricious tech that we don't need to listen to what our butts spell out for us in the bowl.
In a different life earlier in my career, I worked for a German company and visited the corporate offices in Hamburg.
They had toilet bowls with a little diagnostic shelf molded in so you could examine your deposit before flushing. I was told it was due to the influence of some doctor before WWII. Since they worked fine, it was too expensive to rip them all out and put newer shelfless ones in just to eliminate the weirdness.
It's possible. I only know the story I was told and there's unfortunately no one left to ask.
The company went under decades ago. Last I checked, the factories were levelled and the only reference to the company I could find was about them using slave labor under the Nazis.
They were in business over a century and a half and were an integral part of shipbuilding in Hamburg and around the world, expanding out to mining and heavy machinery before I left. Now they're all but forgotten. As far as the Internet is concerned, they never existed.
You guys should have been in the military!!!!!! AND the stuff we had to go through in 'Nam!!!!! OMFG!!!!!!!!!!! Esp. when rockets were coming in. One could drop a load, wipe and be out the shitter in a matter of seconds!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Among the things you rather not think about much when reading history. Think about those noble knights, and the fact that getting the armor on wasn't exactly done as fast as getting your trousers back up takes. Or that taking it off wasn't as fast as dropping your trousers either.
And the fact that they had to fight maybe for hours wearing that armor... :D
I always like it when people can talk about their BMs/
LOLOL
It's a bit like farting in front of one's partner, early in the relationship.
Everyone side-eyes instinctively...

Agreed.

I thought the poop shelf was to eliminate splashing.
