CubeCast Poll: Do you wipe sitting or standing?

[Toad]

My vote (for standing) took it to 50/50 lol...

I can see how it's done both ways but have analysed it quite a lot and find standing to be far superior.

 

[Kirjava]

Can someone post a video of them doing it while sitting?

 

[oprah62]

I actually stand but i accidently clicked sit

LOLOLOL
Not on this forum

 

[Chapuunka]

Lol, musta been awkward xD

Only awkward if you let it be.

 

[Joker]

er...so you were forcing them to tell you???

 

[That70sShowDude]

It's funny how everyone thought their way of doing was the correct way. I thought everyone stood ...

Tried sitting today, felt so awkward.

 

[xFear of Napalm]

I don't think a single cube related thing will ever be even on this forum, just gratuitously personal information lol. Standing ftw.


EDIT:

oprah62: I actually stand but i accidently clicked sit

You have to write a book about that, bro.

 

[oprah62]

yea sitting is meh

 

[Andrew Ricci]

Real life. It was great to watch people's reactions.

EDIT: Aha! 50/50 again.

I asked some people. They just lol'd and never told me.

Like everyone else here I did not realise there was another way to do it.

I wipe sitting. Lean to the right and go. If (for some messed up reason) the paper rack is on the left (or I have a sore right hand) I can do it left handed (ambidextrousity ftw).

Although now that I think about it, my experience is the US and Japan has shown me that apparently in some countries the toilet bowl fills right up with water. This is not the case in New Zealand (and I think in Australia) where the bowl only fills up a little bit with water. So unless you let out literally 10L of crap, there's no way you will get close to touching anything.

Regardless, while I was in the US I continued to wipe sitting and never had any trouble. Being short probably helps.

lolollolololol. I love this thread.

Dude, that family hardly counts. Do you remember what his wife does?!

WHOAAA, STOP RIGHT THERE. THEM'S FIGHTING WORDS.

This is not the case in New Zealand (and I think in Australia) where the bowl only fills up a little bit with water. So unless you let out literally 10L of crap, there's no way you will get close to touching anything.

So toilets are pretty tricky. There's a siphon tube shaped like an upside-down U behind and connected to the bowl, with the top of the U level with the water level in the bowl. So if you dispense liquid into the bowl a little bit at the time, the excess just trickles down the siphon tube, keeping the water level in the toilet constant. (You can check this by pouring 2 liters of water into the toilet, one cup at a time. The water level won't change.) The toilet flushes only when a lot of water is dumped into the bowl at once, which fills up the siphon tube and subsequently sucks everything in the bowl down with it.

Suppose you drop some volume V_c of crap. If V_c is less than the volume V_t of the water originally in the bowl, then the excess volume V_t - V_c of water just trickles down the siphon tube as I've described above. I've assumed that the poop sinks and becomes submerged completely, in which case it displaces its volume (V_c) of water. If it floats, then it displaces its mass, which would be somewhat less than V_c. But practically, it shouldn't make much of a difference. As long as V_c is less than V_t, and the original water level was something reasonable (less than halfway up), there's essentially no worry of touching anything in the bowl.

tl;dr: I think Dene's right about the 10L, but for a slightly different reason. But in any case, if you're letting out 10L of crap at a time, I feel like you've got a lot more to worry about than getting toilet water on your hand.

 

[FatBoyXPC]

Dene: Some toilets have a lot of water in the bowl (usually public restrooms that are industrial strength toilets, the kind that flush so hard a watermelon would flush lol), but most residential toilets now are "water saving" toilets and fill with minimal water.

I don't get how you can get your TP to wipe easily standing up, your cheeks go back together, and you have to fight it. Unless you only wipe the outskirts of the cheeks and let the poo stay on the inside, SICK! You're already spread open while sitting and it just makes everything so easy.

To those of you who try it sitting: try scooting an inch or two forward (be careful with your junk, you don't want to smash / pinch it against the bowl), and don't forget to lean forward. For those that say "man I'm already smashed against the front when I wipe" then maybe you need a bigger toilet seat lol

The main problem with standing up is that your cheeks squish together. If you have byproduct of gooey consistency and lots of hair, you're in for trouble. Imagine trying to pick very... ripe berries out of thick bramble. I rest my case.

As long as we're talking about the merits of wiping methods, we should discuss sitting methods too! Everyone should try their next number 2 seated facing the toilet tank. You might find that it is rather comfortable. The tank provides a convenient surface upon which you can place your stackmat/computer/twisty puzzles. It's like having your own personal battlestation... There is even a button which lets you launch torpedoes!

UMM! That's an idea but I don't think I want to try it just in case, you know, whatever I have on the toilet tank falls in XD

For those talking about how standing up is weird, because you get poop in between your cheeks, and the cheeks squeeze together, and don't let you wip all the way to the end:

--What?! How fat are you?! When you stand up, can you not move your legs? When you stand up, are you so fat, that your butt-cheeks instantly tighten, and clench so tight, that there is no way for you to get a hand in there? If you put your hand in there to wipe, would your butt-cheeks bite down on your hand, and have you locked like that forever?

I stand. I am at an average weight. Obviously people don't stand straight up, with their legs closed when they wipe standing. I myself like to use my left hand to hold against the wall in front of me, and lean forward a tiny bit, to clean it up. The deeper you need to go for those hardcore diarrheas, the more I lean a bit. I'm not talking about bending over all the way, before you guys exaggerate it. Just a couple of degrees.



Anyway, to those who wonder how people sitting do it, without getting their hand caught between their butt and the toilet seat:

--What? How fat are you?! Seriously, is your butt so fat, that there isn't even space for your hand to go by? Does your butt swallow the entire seat, so there that there is extra butt sticking out the sides? Or maybe you just have a tiny seat? If that's the problem, then probably, people who do it sitting down just have a bigger toilet bowl than you do. Nah, that'd be crazy and illogical. Or try scooting over to the front a bit. That's also another solution.



Now, to all the other arguments, I can't explain, and am not going to try. It's just that these 2 scenarios were bugging me, because people kept bringing it up, as if they couldn't see how it's possible. So, I just had to vent.

Carry on.
