troed , in Iceland's minister for the Environment mandates gender neutral toilets
@troed@fedia.io avatar

Stop making separate gendered toilets. Toilets just need floor to ceiling stalls with actual doors. No urinals (yuck) and then a row of sinks.

This is already the case in practically any Swedish white collar workplace.

tobogganablaze ,

Unless you’re really into wiping piss of toilet seats you want there to be some urinals.

rowinxavier ,

Or have education about how much piss goes everywhere when you pee. In Germany most men sit to pee most of the time, it is a cultural issue and can be changed. That said, if you do urinals, make them stalls too, I don’t want to chat with my pee neighbour.

tobogganablaze ,

In Germany most men sit to pee most of the time

[x] doubt.

I don’t even think that is true for the majority of men in their own home and it certainly is not for public toilets.

Of all 13 countries, Germany was the one where most men sat down “every time” to urinate (40%).

See, not most men.

How did I know you are going to point that out. So smart.

Here is the part of the comment above you, that you disagreed with:

In Germany most men sit to pee most of the time.

Emphasis in bold courtesy of mine to help with reading comprehension to what comes next, namely the quote from the link I gave you:

Of all 13 countries, Germany was the one where most men sat down “every time” to urinate (40%). Add those who do so “most times” (22%), and you get the result shown on the map.

40 + 22 is 62. Which is most men.

tobogganablaze ,

Yeah and the times they won’t sit down is when you’re in a public toilet without an urinal. Which is exactly what we were talking about.

Auli ,

40% is not most men in Germany. They just have the most of the countries looked at. Two very different things.

rowinxavier ,

bigthink.com/…/sitzpinkler-german-men-pee-sitting…

“62% of German men sit down “every time” or “most times” when they go pee. That’s more than men in 12 other countries surveyed worldwide.”

superminerJG ,

Urinals can be spaced more closely than regular toilets. Only problem is that women (or anyone with female-appearing anatomy) don’t have a nice way of using them.

No urinals (yuck)

As a man with a weak bladder, trust me, urinals are necessary for speed purposes.

whydudothatdrcrane OP ,

All this moral panic about gendered bathrooms had been debunked ages ago. The TERF propaganda machine just kept throwing more and more fearmongering our way. It is good to hear that some countries take steps against this neo-segregation insanity.

Furball ,

Iceland actually does have a lot of those floor to ceiling stalls which is great

I still don’t get it. What is so threatening about a mask?

Makes mass surveillance and cops persecuting every protester and person of color who so much as litters more difficult.

FSM help you if you’re a person of color and accidentally drop a candy wrapper on the street during a peaceful protest against genocide…

SarcasticMan , in Homeowners are increasingly re-wilding their homes with native plants, experts say
@SarcasticMan@lemmy.world avatar

I live in Texas, we had a big beautiful St. Augustin yard. Thick, green, very nice. 3 years ago I quit watering it. Last year I seeded it with a mix of Buffalo Grass, Curly Mesquite Grass, and Blue Gamma. It’s almost taken over. It uses zero water, I only mowed it once the year before and twice this year because we got a boatload of rain this year unlike the year before. I stopped mowing the backyard and just removed all the wax and China berry shoots. I have all sorts of native flowers and Chili Pequin plants all over the place. The flowers are great and the birds are everywhere. Best decision I have made since I got this place.

TheDemonBuer , in The big question touching a nerve this election: "Can my husband find out who I am voting for?"
@TheDemonBuer@lemmy.world avatar

My wife is going to vote for Harris/Walz. She’s told me several times. I think I’m gonna vote for them too.

mipadaitu ,

I used to vote for the Democratic candidate.

I still vote for the Democrats, but I used to too.

Anonymadness ,

I miss Mitch 😫

Trainguyrom ,

My wife wanted to sit out the election when it was Biden running over his unending support of the slaughter in Gaza, and the only thing that got her out to vote was that the were also some ballot measures which needed votes. I wrote on Cenk Uyger for the primary myself, not sure how she voted. Now we’re both super excited to vote for Harris/Walz

Obviously we’ve got fairly similar political views
