Gentlemen, it is with great displeasure that I must inform you that we’re doing it wrong.

    American toilets are just weird. Why do they need to evacuate into an overful lake like that? Always seems so wasteful, putting 50 litres of water into each flush too.

      The oval shape is so a penis doesn’t touch the seat/bowl when you sit.
      On round toilets, someone with a penis might need to touch the seat with their hands the whole time they are seated.

        They’re oval here too, but don’t require all that extra water, a lake in every flush. I think you mistead overfull? And I had never seen a real plunger in Australia, we don’t ever need them. Our toilets just work.
