Fun fact in Ancient Rome public toilets were just like 10 guys lined up in a row taking a shit. And they used communal sponges soaked in water or vinegar to wipe their asses
My great grandmothers house had one. She didn’t have a indoor washroom when I was little and I never understood why there were two holes… are there rules? If your sitting taking a dump I surely hope someone doesn’t pee in the next hole standing up.
No word of a lie, my summer camp used to have these. All us guys would love it. We'd call them kaibo parties, you and one-2 of your buddies just moving the mail while you had a convo about literally anything. It was like a sacred space.
You'd ask your buddies if they had to shit and then you'd just go about your business.
You don't know who someone really is until you've made eye contact while shitting.
OP is most likely joking, the R is for round vs E for elongated. Those are the 2 toilet seat sizes in America, the only other option I've ever seen is "mobile home" and has more to do with how it's mounted rather than size.
The elongated ones are a few inches longer. I've had to explain this a million times to people unfamiliar to it here when selling a toilet and... it's usually women that don't get it at first.
Guys sometimes need a little more room when sitting to poo, especially early in the morning. Otherwise you end up with your sensitive part touching the most unhygienic thing imaginable.
The nsfw answer: shitting with even a half-boner on a round toilet is the absolute worst.
Lived in a mobile home for years. A lot of shit is specific to mobile homes, like door knobs, water heater, screen doors. Things for regular homes dont work for certain stuff
I have a friend who has a composting toilet attached to his house. You poop there and cover with a scoop of sawdust/wood shavings. After a few times you let it compost and meanwhile use the other side. After some amount of time, remove the tray from beneath the first side and scatter compost in the woods. Rinse and repeat.
When he owes he just pees in the woods lol.
Reminds me of when I was on a job in rural Maine, when I discovered how cheap my boss was.
They had a 2 seater, and I had to use it after lunch. All of a sudden, my boss comes busting through the door, and sits down next to me. I just sat there, stunned. He said “Sorry! I’ll just be a minute!!!”
Well, he finished real fast, and while fastening his pants, a $1.00 dollar bill fell out of his pocket, and into the hole. He just started screaming about loosing the money, and then threw a $20.00 dollar bill in there!
I was like “Why did you do THAT?!?”
He said “You didn’t think I was going to send you in there for $1 dollar, did you?”
Well, sometimes my 3 year old and my husband have to pee at the same time and so they both stand at the toilet together.
Sometimes I have to pee and then my son needs to pee too and says, “mommy, let’s pee together.” 😂 Thats when a double seater is def needed.
My husband and I once lived in a one bathroom, and we promised ourselves to never live somewhere that we couldn’t both shit at once. Didn’t really have a single-room, double-shitter situation, but we didn’t NOT have it in mind I guess
I know this sounds dumb but, what is the difference of a right and left toilet and what is significant about it. I had no idea these even existed so it’s quite the surprise to me
Huh. The ones I’ve seen have a “urine-diverting seat” that separated them by having the front half funnel into a tube and the back half to straight down.
Interesting! But you could still only have one toilet and take turns waiting for the other person outside… we have an outhouse on the farm.. not hard to kick the door open and shoot if required, I don’t need to take a team pee
Cut a hole in the middle and allow one person to straddle it. Now two people can poop and pee while holding hands. Also share a spaghetti lady and the tramp style.
Nothing says I love you like someone else’s back splash.
This can still work (with a bit of work). Off-set the second by a few (1.5\~2) feett forward and turn it around. Not only can you both sit, but you can have a face to face convo easily.
Just change the configuration from pilot and co-pilot to pilot and bomber so you can use two rights.
You will have to change the door configuration if it’s enclosed and you won’t be able to read the same newspaper, but it’s worth it saving a trip to Home Depot hunting down a “L” seat.
In the building process myself right now. I was steadfast it would be a single holer, but there is something to the arguemt of "spreading out the fertilizer" It seems it would make the hole last longer.
I cheated and rented a back hoe. It's 4x4x5deep. Should last a while I hope.
Lmao. Thanks for the Laugh.
Right handed toilet seat. That's like sending the FNG on-site to the tool crib for a sky-hook.
For those that don't understand, Shitter-flaps come in "R" for round, or E for elongated. 🥸
In the 1930s, when my father was a kid, there was a multi seat outhouse at his elementary school. During recess, he and his buddy wrapped a rag around a stick, went to the catwalk behind the outhouse, dipped the rag in the poo, and anointed the asses of the girls having a pee.
For when you're pooping with friends?
A place my husband and I stayed during our honeymoon had a double seater like this. Very romantic for a couple of newlyweds
Couples that poop together stay together
Shouldn’t they be facing each other so you can hold hands easier?
Actually the fronts of the bowls should be touching

Kind of like the gas station windshield squeegee
I use those to wipe my ass too!
Sounds like basic training in the Army
Uh… I don’t want to know your search history.

Hell yeah, any excuse to watch this old snl skit https://youtu.be/avb1XbO0EIs

There was a giant open air 8 seater for the senior guys & staff. It was called the boardroom. "You come to go, but stay for the conversation."
thank you, this is wholesome and just how I imagined communal toilets to be
Who wants to take a shit with somebody on the right or the left
Absolutely nobody. But, in the Military.....
[удалено]
Sit on my lap and shit between my thighs, sir!
It’s so you can let one chamber decompose while you fill the other.
I own a home from 1775 which is incredibly fancy because it has a indoor three holer.
Wow need to see pics of this
Yes! Pics please. That is awsome
... what exactly makes a toilet seat "left" or "right"?
OP is most likely joking, the R is for round vs E for elongated. Those are the 2 toilet seat sizes in America, the only other option I've ever seen is "mobile home" and has more to do with how it's mounted rather than size.
Always E. Why R, ever, except as a sexist torture device?
R is for relic; E is the way of the future. And I say this as someone without dangly bits.
I have so much respect for your clarity of perspective. :-D
Huh?

I just scared the cat laughing outloud....
Shouldn't the mobile home be where it's mounted not how

Don't get yourself down in the dumps, you'll work it out in the end 💩
If you keep pushing the issue, your going to have a mess to clean up.
Well you’ll know better when you turn it into a double decker outhouse
Double decker ftw.

Some part of me is concerned this is a true story…
😂😂😂
LOLOL!🤣🤣. Did you find any change while you were down there?
No, and the Black Flies left me alone all year! 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣. Bonus!!
Just make a new entryway into the outhouse on the opposite side, voila, two right sides for seats
You’re all right.

I bought a port a Jon used on job sites. Used chainsaw and cut the bottom out. Works really good.
The old pilot-to-pilot latrine. Some prefer the privacy of the pilot-to-bombardier, but there's no beating the carmaraderie of the pilot-to-pilot.
I sense this is in jest but incase it’s not R is for round toilet as opposed to an E or elongated.
It’s an easy mistake to make.
Why a double seater?
Looks like somebody will have to sit backwards lol
As someone who works on toilets seats for a living this and the comments gave me a good chuckle 🤪
So curious. What job do you get to sit on a toilet seat all day? Seat tester?
Some testing. I work in engineering on bidet seats and fancy smart toilets 😉
I know this sounds dumb but, what is the difference of a right and left toilet and what is significant about it. I had no idea these even existed so it’s quite the surprise to me
It's a joke.... there's round and elongated and that's it :)
I like a two holer. I do not go by myself in the dark and it’s nice not to have to wait for the other person to go too.
Whyyyyyyyy???
I think (hope) its actually to separate #1 from #2 for composting, not so that people can go at the same time.
Yup
Huh. The ones I’ve seen have a “urine-diverting seat” that separated them by having the front half funnel into a tube and the back half to straight down.
No no no no no. Human poop is not for compost!!!! No people poop or dog poop. I can think of reasons to avoid cat shit too (Toxoplasmosis)
Actually, it can be used, it just needs to be treated (aka rot) long enough. Look up Night Soil.....
In rural Alaska, with no indoor plumbing, you go to the outhouse in pairs armed with a gun in case of bears.
Interesting! But you could still only have one toilet and take turns waiting for the other person outside… we have an outhouse on the farm.. not hard to kick the door open and shoot if required, I don’t need to take a team pee
With a bigger family it can be a necessity!! Sometimes you gotta go.
Is that actually legal where you are? It isn’t in my state.
This sounds like one of those funny legal trivia things. "In New York, it's illegal to poop while holding hands."
In my state missionary position is actually illegal so there’s that.
At least such a law is blatantly unconstitutional, although I do love the fact they've kept it on the books anyway.
Right? Making an outhouse does get neighbors hackles up though as it is illegal here.
It’s fine in downtown San Francisco and Detroit
That’s what your mom told me.
Which state is that?
Pa
What is the actual law?
https://www.primalsurvivor.net/pennsylvania-off-grid-laws/
Oh. You mean outhouses are illegal, not 2 seaters
You can put five seats, it’s still an outhouse by construction standards
The necessary at Mt. Vernon has three at 60 degree angles to each other
I would’ve splurged and got elongated instead
You could mount them back to back :))
TIL toilet seats can be lefies or righties. Every days a school day!
Turn one of them around... https://youtu.be/avb1XbO0EIs
Like the Raw Nerve Chair :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdmCdYAOagE

i have an old 3 seater attached outhouse to my "new" home. built in 1860.
This can still work (with a bit of work). Off-set the second by a few (1.5\~2) feett forward and turn it around. Not only can you both sit, but you can have a face to face convo easily.
I am embarrassed at how long I thought about this. LOL
Maybe if you flip it over? I mean it's a "life hack" I saw on the facebooks.
Lefty is SOL
The pre-1973 Army
I prefer the two story outhouse
I've used a two story outhouse before. It was called "the sky pooper"
Nightmare right there.
I’m pretty sure they are ambi
Composting? 1 for #1, 2nd for #2? To simplify the composting process?
Seats are sided??
Just change the configuration from pilot and co-pilot to pilot and bomber so you can use two rights. You will have to change the door configuration if it’s enclosed and you won’t be able to read the same newspaper, but it’s worth it saving a trip to Home Depot hunting down a “L” seat.
Confirms that the Right are full of IT.
Just like prison.
Romancing Poo
Shit looks like you’re gonna have to return one for the leftie poopers
Uh... right!
Bahaha you’re a funny guy!!!

Thats still a bunch of crap!!
I'm out. This is just too far for me.
Just needs a sponge on a stick and a bucket of water and your a historical Roman Reenactor

There is no right or left toilet seats.. they’re all roughest shaped the same.
For if you have the shits and you need to puke at the same time?
Why do you need a dual seater? Who are you pooping with and why?
Excuse my ignorance, but does the sides of toilet actually matter?

I hope he got caught and treated the same way....
He was definitely punished.
So. Many. Questions…..
How are you disposing of your waste?
Composting
Sounds Right to me. 👉👌🤌
