SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the physics of urine trajectory in toilet bowls, specifically addressing the claim that men peeing on the side of the bowl causes spray to emerge. Participants reference Newton's Third Law of Motion to explain that a stream hitting the steep side of the bowl should primarily direct liquid downwards. The conversation also touches on the design of urinals, including the use of targets like painted flies to improve aim and reduce splash. Overall, the discussion combines humor with scientific principles to explore male bathroom behavior.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Newton's Third Law of Motion
  • Basic knowledge of fluid dynamics
  • Familiarity with toilet and urinal design principles
  • Awareness of the psychological aspects of male behavior in bathroom settings
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the impact of toilet bowl design on splashback and hygiene
  • Explore fluid dynamics principles related to liquid trajectories
  • Investigate the psychology behind target-based urinal designs
  • Learn about historical and modern toilet innovations
USEFUL FOR

Anyone interested in bathroom design, fluid dynamics, or the psychology of male behavior, including engineers, designers, and social scientists.

Hi, Steve

I believe the cause of the lass' complaint is sheer jealousy.

Enjoy your next pee in peace,

Zooby

yes, yes i think this is a vary accurate observation. it explains why women have such unrealistically high expectations for the bathroom usage of men.

Then there are women like W with no sex drive whatsoever, who wonder why there are urine stains on the ceiling... :rolleyes:
