No but seriously. Why the gaps?

As with all systematic changes like that, the point is more about the impact on the future generations.
Thought to be honest, hexadecimal doesn't feel weird to me as someone who frequently analyzes hexdumps. I'd wager it's totally something you can learn.
yeah we apparently found our digits easier than knuckles when counting. it probably helped that it's easier to communicate numbers with full digits than pointing parts of them.

No its not a profit saving thing. It makes no difference cost wise to save a few cms of wood. Its intentionally designed that way. Go to any other capitalist country than America and you won't see gaps.

The cost savings is not only in materials. For manufacturing, lower quality materials and larger tolerances. Time to install and repair is lower because of how open the design is. Time to clean is lower because you can just soak the floor and mop without worrying about each stalls' corners.
Brutal efficiency at the cost of comfort and privacy is what capitalism is all about. The US is just used to it and somehow also incredibly puritanical.
That said, efficiency isn't a bad thing. There are some countries with some bathrooms that don't have stalls - legit indoor public bathrooms where you just squat over a hole or urinals that are just one long wide trough. It's about what you are used to.

They should replace dividers with mirrors so we can look at other men's dicks while pissing

As an American, experiencing European toilet stalls was one of the first tangible experiences where I was like “woah we are definitely doing it wrong”. Thanks, uh…Europe.
Hold up.. you mean to tell me that there were stalls available for pooping even though as an American I've been taught my whole life that those gaps exist so people don't do sex in them?!!?!?

Except for the ones where you have to pay, I can do without that.

I am, of course, an environmental storytelling toilet skeleton in a European bathroom.
Spoopy, literally?

If it means I'm getting a clean toilet, I'd rather pay a Euro for that

I remember some pretty nasty pay toilets in Germany, but it of course varies.

I think it's because bathrooms are cost, and so they got enshitified early to discourage costumers from using them.
But where are the costumers supposed to change costume if not in a stall?

Even worse are the urinals without dividers.
Ever used a trough?
It’s almost like that

The only reasonable reason I've heard is it makes it easier to clean/prevent mold growth. Like y'all don't need to worry about drug users at the office.

A duodecimal system would have been so much nicer.
Everyone loves a library!
I think that's the Dewey decimal system, which inspired the Chewy decimal system, which is the next innovation in grocery store layouts.

Ugh, the county fair piss trough

You'd be surprised.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]It's never an either/or situation. Like, what, that Euro pays for someone to rush in after every use? Or is it a meaningless transaction meant to cause difficulty.

Going to Tokyo and every toilet being a sing-along butt rinser made me realized western toilets are barbaric.

I think they just suck at carpentry, amongst other things. Doors are haaaard.
Doors being hard doesn't explain it, since they're not a problem for the rest of the world (which is the vast majority of it).

Really? That's what I'd expect even in a run-down public toilet in a train station over here in Austria.

That's a great point.
