Pee poo pee poo

The smart peeple at Stanford recently hopped on the water conservation bandwagon and installed dual flushing toilets, which come with needlessly complicated diagrams explaining how to use them.

Save water when you flush. Pull up for liquid waste; push down for solid waste.

Hmm, okay. But this brings up an interesting dilemma: what about diarrhea? Do you pull up because it's mostly liquid? Or do you push down because there might be some nice small solid chunks in there?

I think the terms "liquid waste" and "solid waste" are confusing in this case--diarrhea is a magical substance known to have the properties of both solid and liquid waste. Why not go with simpler and more precise terms, like "pee" and "poo"? "Pull up for pee; push down for poo." Sounds good to me.

As a bonus, my version is shorter, which means less ink wasted when printing the signs. And what is ink made of? That's right, water! So, by conserving ink, they would also conserve water, which is the main goal of the dual flushing toilets in the first place!

See? I'm an environmentalist. Yay!

That looks so complicated.

That looks so complicated. Here in Indonesia there are two options for buttons. One small and one big, small button for no.1 and big button for no. 2. The Stanford people, what a smartasses.

Oh yeah,

I've seen those two-button ones around here too... 9 years ago. Americans and their outdated technology....

famously known as the 1-2 flush... =P

also, you use stumbleupon right. i find it a bit stupid.. so maybe i'm just not using it properly. what makes it cool anyway?

joyfulchicken's picture

Haven't used StumbleUpon in a long time

Nothing really cool about it... just a slightly fun way to waste time.

Uhmm...

Here's a suggestion. Why don't the people show their frustration for this stupid signs by not flushing at all! you get to save water and help make things better.

Okay...stupid suggestion...

joyfulchicken's picture

Good idea!

Maybe I should start doing that. Hey, anything for the environment, right?

It won't work here

That won't work here, people don't know how to flush, even those we consider as professionals.

Don't flush

Conserve water!

Why not

go to your backyard and dig a hole? Save water and it even works as fertilizer.

joyfulchicken's picture

Hehe

Why even dig a hole? Too much effort. Just do your business on the sidewalk :-D

I agree....

alot of street kids do that... why can't we?:P

joyfulchicken's picture

Yay

Equal rights for everyone!

Yup, yup

Good idea. Love Mother Earth.

joyfulchicken's picture

neko-chan's picture

You won't be arrested

joyfulchicken's picture

But I'll lose my environmentalist readers... all three of them :-D

Try me.

Come on...don't be afraid~~ :P

joyfulchicken's picture

Hmm,

How about vomit

Also hard to determine

joyfulchicken's picture

Hehe, yeah

Although vomit has the tendency to end up outside the toilet bowl, so... no problem there :-D
